hermes

Hermes is an Elixir Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK designed to facilitate the development of applications using the Model Context Protocol. This server enables developers to create, manage, and interact with model contexts efficiently, providing a structured way to handle data and business logic in Elixir applications. By leveraging Hermes, you can streamline your application's architecture and improve its maintainability.

Once connected to the Hermes server, you can interact with various model contexts to perform operations such as querying data, updating records, and managing state. To get the most out of Hermes, use commands that align with the specific model contexts you have defined in your application. While specific tools are not documented yet, you can expect to utilize functions provided by the SDK to manage your application's data effectively.

To install Hermes, ensure you have Elixir and the necessary dependencies set up in your development environment.

Prerequisites:

• Elixir installed (version 1.10 or later)

Option A: Quick start with npx (if npm package exists):
Since an npm package is not specified, you may need to clone the repository directly.

Option B: Global install alternative:
Clone the repository from GitHub to use Hermes in your project:

git clone https://github.com/cloudwalk/hermes-mcp.git
cd hermes-mcp
mix deps.get

Make sure to follow any additional setup instructions in the repository's README for complete installation.

When configuring Hermes for your application, pay attention to the environment settings that may affect its performance. Common environment variables include MCP_PORT for defining the port number and MCP_HOST for specifying the server's host address. Be cautious of version compatibility between your Elixir setup and the Hermes SDK to avoid runtime issues.
