hermes-atlas-mcp — Claude Code MCP server: catalog and setup
This MCP server searches and fetches tools, skills, and integrations from Hermes Atlas. Use it when you need current Hermes Agent ecosystem data.
claude mcp add hermes-atlas-mcp -- npx -y hermes-atlas-mcpWhat hermes-atlas-mcp does
hermes-atlas-mcp exposes the Hermes Atlas catalog to MCP clients. It can search projects by keyword or category, return details for an owner/repo, show curated lists, open guides, and answer free-form questions through Atlas. The catalog covers more than 100 community tools, skills, plugins, memory providers, workspaces, and integrations for Hermes Agent.
The server offers five tools and four resources containing catalog JSON, summaries, lists, and an ecosystem overview. It fetches catalog data live and keeps it in memory for one hour, so results follow the current site data. The package runs through npx -y hermes-atlas-mcp.
The project is experimental at 0.x, and breaking changes may arrive before 1.0. Fully restart the client after installation so the MCP process is started again.
