## What it 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.
