Connect Vee3 MCP to Hermes Agent

Copy and paste this into Hermes chat and let the agent walk you through setup.

Agent Instruction

Connect to Hermes Agent

Add Vee3 as a remote HTTP MCP server in config.yaml.

  1. Open or create ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
  2. Paste the config from the copy block below under mcp_servers.
    • New file: paste the whole block (starts with mcp_servers:).
    • Already has servers: add only the vee3 entry - do not duplicate mcp_servers.
  3. Set your API key in headers, or add VEE3_API_KEY=vee3_live_... to ~/.hermes/.env and keep ${VEE3_API_KEY} in the YAML.
  4. Save the file, then run /reload-mcp in Hermes chat.
  5. Test - e.g. “Capture a screenshot of https://example.com”. Tools appear as mcp_vee3_… (Hermes prefixes server names).

config.yaml (HTTP - recommended)

Recommended

Uses ${VEE3_API_KEY} - set that variable in your shell or ~/.hermes/.env.

mcp_servers:
  vee3:
    url: https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp
    headers:
      VEE3_API_KEY: ${VEE3_API_KEY}
Alternative: stdio via mcp-remoteShow

Use this only if direct HTTP does not work in your environment. Requires Node.js and npx.

config.yaml (stdio bridge)

Replace the vee3 HTTP block with this stdio entry, or use it instead on a fresh file.

mcp_servers:
  vee3:
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - mcp-remote@latest
      - https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp
      - --header
      - "VEE3_API_KEY: ${VEE3_API_KEY}"

Hermes tool names are prefixed

The screenshot tool registers as something like mcp_vee3_website_screenshots_capture. Mention vee3 or that tool name in your prompt.

Hermes uses ${VAR} env substitution. Do not commit literal API keys.

Verify the connection

Run /reload-mcp after saving config changes, then ask the agent to call meta-tools.list_groups or search the catalog with meta-tools.search. Hermes registers tools with the mcp_vee3_ prefix (for example mcp_vee3_meta_tools_list_groups). Name vee3 explicitly in chat if tools do not show up unprompted.

Customize which tools appear

From the dashboard, open Customize MCP to turn capability groups on or off. Changes apply to your MCP server on the next connection.
