Connect Hermes — MCP setup

Steps

Open ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
Add the mcp_servers block below beside anything already there, and save the file.
~/.hermes/config.yaml
```
mcp_servers:
  adako:
    url: 'https://adako.ai/mcp'
    auth: oauth
```
Run hermes mcp login adako, then complete the Adako authorization screen in your browser.
Run hermes mcp test adako, then ask Hermes to use Adako.

API key instead of the browser sign-in

mcp_servers:
  adako:
    url: 'https://adako.ai/mcp'
    headers:
      Authorization: 'Bearer ak_live_…'

Untested: the configuration follows the documented format for the Nous Research Hermes agent — the agent, not the Hermes model series — but Adako has not been verified in it yet. The key is mcp_servers with an underscore. Adako’s tools arrive named mcp_adako_*, and /reload-mcp picks up a config change without a restart.

Test it

Ask for something read-only first. This call is free and changes nothing.

first prompt

Using Adako, tell me which ad accounts are connected.

You should get back what is connected, which account is active, and two or three prompts worth trying next. If nothing is connected yet, the answer says so and links to the Accounts page.

When a write comes back as a proposal

Under the inbox policy, a write returns a proposal id and a diff instead of a result. Say “approve it” in the chat, or open Approvals and approve it there. Under direct, your confirmation in the chat is the approval.
