# Hermes Agent

Install, verify and troubleshoot AgentFeedback for Hermes Agent.

## Availability

The pinned release documents this integration **once listed**; it does not establish that the catalog entry is available. Confirm the listing in the platform before using a catalog installation route. The [upstream integration guide](https://github.com/AgentFeedback/agentfeedback/blob/c7573e1b301aa1495f290c417ce2fb390caee544/docs/integrations/hermes.md) describes the submission and its constraints.

## Use MCP without waiting for a listing

Install the binary with the [local quickstart](https://agentfeedback.dev/docs/quickstart/local). Add this entry to your Hermes MCP configuration, preserving any existing servers:

```
mcp_servers:
  agentfeedback:
    command: agentfeedback
    args: [mcp]
```

The Hermes process must be able to find `agentfeedback` on PATH. This uses the local inbox unless the client is configured for a server.

## Plugin route when listed

```
hermes plugins install agentfeedback
```

Hermes installs portable packages disabled; enable the installed package in Hermes before expecting its skill to load. The optional MCP catalog is a separate listing, not a prerequisite for the direct configuration above.

## Verify

Restart Hermes and confirm the AgentFeedback MCP tools or enabled plugin skill appear. File a labelled setup report and inspect it with `agentfeedback list --open`. If the stdio server fails to start, check PATH from the environment that launches Hermes.

## Remove direct MCP setup

In `~/.hermes/config.yaml`, remove only `mcp_servers.agentfeedback`, preserving the other servers. Restart Hermes and confirm its AgentFeedback tools disappear. This does not delete reports or remove a separately installed plugin.

## If the listing is missing

Do not substitute a similarly named package. Follow the [upstream guide](https://github.com/AgentFeedback/agentfeedback/blob/c7573e1b301aa1495f290c417ce2fb390caee544/docs/integrations/hermes.md) for the integration's current submission path, or use a [directly supported harness](https://agentfeedback.dev/docs/harnesses). Remove catalog packages through the platform that installed them, not `agentfeedback uninstall`.

## Source and verification
