Hermes Agent

Schedule social media posts with Hermes Agent.

Add Simplified to Hermes Agent with one YAML entry and one login, and it can write, design and schedule your posts.

  • One YAML entry with auth: oauth, so there is no key to store
  • Test the connection from the Hermes MCP controls
  • Ask for drafts first and approve every post before it goes live
Get Started
Your setup prompt

Read https://docs.simplified.com/setup.md and set up Simplified in this client. Reuse existing connections and skills, complete the setup steps you can perform, and guide me through sign-in when needed. Verify access without creating content or spending credits.

  1. Copy the prompt (the Add to Hermes Agent button does it too).
  2. Open a new conversation with Hermes Agent and paste it.
  3. Send it. Hermes sets up Simplified and walks you through sign-in.
Or edit the config yourself
Connect

Add Simplified to Hermes Agent with one config entry.

Add Simplified as an MCP server in Hermes Agent and sign in with your Simplified account. You get everything Simplified can do, from images and video to scheduling and analytics.

1

Add the server.

Open ~/.hermes/config.yaml and merge a simplified entry into the mcp_servers mapping, with the server URL and auth set to oauth.

2

Sign in.

Run the login command and finish in your browser. There is no password or key to paste into the conversation.

3

Check it, then ask.

Test the connection in the Hermes MCP controls and confirm the Simplified tools appear. Then ask Hermes to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces, and ask for your first post.

Put it in ~/.hermes/config.yaml. If the file already has an mcp_servers mapping, add the simplified entry to it. Want reusable instructions too? Skills are optional and install through Hermes's skill controls. Hermes Agent's own MCP guide Read the full setup guide

One config entry, every channel.

Once Simplified is registered, Hermes can reach each social account linked to your workspace. The platforms are set up in Simplified, not in your config.

What Hermes Agent can do with Simplified

Hermes Agent decides what to do. Simplified does the design and the publishing.

Brief in, scheduled posts out

Describe the campaign and the dates. Hermes writes the posts, Simplified makes the images and schedules them.

A voice that stays yours

Your Brand Kit carries your colors, fonts and tone, so posts sound and look like your account every time.

Images and video on request

Ask for a graphic or a short clip next to the caption and get both from the same request.

Turn one source into many

Give Hermes a doc, an episode summary or a launch note and get a post for each channel.

Calendars you can reshape

Plan a fortnight of drafts, then rearrange them with plain sentences.

Numbers without a dashboard

Ask how recent posts did across platforms and what to change next.

Approval stays with you

How much Hermes asks first depends on how you run it, so start safe: ask for drafts and approve them yourself.

What does Simplified add to Hermes Agent?

Hermes Agent plans and acts. Simplified supplies the social media side: a Brand Kit, images and video, a content calendar and publishing to 13 platforms. Together they turn a brief into scheduled posts.

You sign in once in your browser. The config holds a URL and auth: oauth, never a key.

  1. Hermes Agent plans and writes

    Turns a brief or a source into captions and a plan.

  2. Simplified designs and posts

    Images and video in your Brand Kit, the calendar, scheduling and analytics.

  3. You approve

    Ask for drafts and approve them, or tell Hermes when it may publish.

What is the Simplified connector for Hermes Agent?

A hosted MCP server you register in ~/.hermes/config.yaml. The entry is a URL plus auth: oauth, so signing in happens in your browser and Hermes never stores a key for it.

Run hermes mcp login simplified to authorize, then use the Hermes MCP controls to test the connection and confirm the Simplified tools appear.

Four lines in ~/.hermes/config.yaml are all it takes.

mcp_servers

The mapping where Hermes lists its MCP servers. If you already have one, merge Simplified into it instead of adding a second mapping.

simplified

The name of the entry. You use it again in the login command: hermes mcp login simplified.

url

https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp, the hosted Simplified server.

auth: oauth

Tells Hermes to sign in through your browser. No API key goes in the file.

If Hermes Agent is not using Simplified

Hermes does not load the config

Check the YAML indentation and that you merged the entry into the existing mcp_servers mapping instead of adding a second one. Save the file and reload Hermes.

The Simplified tools do not appear

Test the connection in the Hermes MCP controls and confirm the Simplified tools are listed. A saved config entry alone does not prove the tools are loaded.

Hermes asks me to sign in again

Run hermes mcp login simplified again and finish the sign-in in your browser. Your work carries on where it stopped.

Hermes cannot see my channels

Connect your social accounts in Simplified first. An empty list does not mean the connection failed: it usually means no accounts are linked to that workspace yet. Also check that you picked the right teamspace.

Questions before you connect

And some things you'd ask us.

How do I add Simplified to Hermes Agent?

Add a simplified entry with url https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp and auth set to oauth under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then run hermes mcp login simplified and finish the sign-in in your browser. Test the connection in the Hermes MCP controls, then ask Hermes to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces.

Read the full setup guide

Can Hermes Agent post to my social accounts?

Yes. Once Simplified is connected, Hermes can draft, schedule and publish posts to the 13 platforms connected in your Simplified workspace: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit and Telegram. It only reaches accounts you have already connected.

What goes in the config file?

A simplified entry under mcp_servers with url https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp and auth set to oauth. Merge it into your existing mcp_servers mapping rather than replacing the file, so you keep your other servers.

Do I need an API key?

No. The config uses oauth, so you sign in to your Simplified account in the browser with hermes mcp login simplified. There is no password or key to paste into the conversation.

How do I test that it works?

Test the connection in the Hermes MCP controls and confirm the Simplified tools appear. Then ask Hermes to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces, and check the answer came from Simplified tools.

Will Hermes publish without asking me first?

That depends on how you run Hermes, so start safe: ask for drafts and approve them yourself when you are ready.

Can Hermes use files from my machine?

Not by file path. The hosted Simplified server cannot read files on your computer, so media has to reach Simplified as bytes or a link, or be generated by Simplified from a prompt.

Can I add the Simplified skills too?

Yes, optionally. The skills repository on GitHub has reusable workflow instructions you can add through Hermes's skill controls. They do not replace the connection, which supplies the tools.

Hermes does not show the Simplified tools. What should I check?

A saved config entry does not prove the tools are loaded. Check the YAML indentation, run the login command, test the connection in the Hermes MCP controls, then ask Hermes to list your workspace and teamspaces. If the list of accounts is empty, connect your social accounts in Simplified first.

Read the full setup guide

Is this different from using Simplified with OpenClaw or Claude Code?

It is the same connector with a different config. Each agent has its own page, and the developer setup page lists the rest.
