Hermes Agent

Configure Hermes Agent to use docpenny’s MCP tools for PDF generation.

Note: Hermes uses a YAML configuration file, not JSON. The root key is mcp_servers.

Prerequisites

  • A docpenny API key (create one in Settings → API Keys in the dashboard)

Configuration

Add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  docpenny:
    url: https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp
    headers:
      x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual docpenny API key.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Auth required or 401Check your x-api-key value. Keys can be managed in the dashboard.
Connection refusedVerify the URL is https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp.
YAML parse errorEnsure the file uses valid YAML syntax — check indentation (2 spaces).
