Hermes Agent
Hermes Agent (Nous Research) is a personal multi-surface agent — CLI, desktop, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more — with MCP, skills, cron, and subagents. Concierge plugs in as pay-per-call market intel + Security Desk: Hermes runs the agent loop; Concierge settles live desk JSON via x402 (no Concierge API key).
Status: Compatible — remote MCP + Hermes skill ready

How it works
- Install Hermes · connect messaging surfaces you care about.
- Add Concierge as a remote HTTP MCP server (snippet below).
- Install the
concierge-hermesskill so Hermes knows routes, prices, and payment flow. - Settle paid calls with pay.sh, Hermes x402 skill,
paymentSignature/creditsWalleton MCPtools/call, or@conc-exe/agent. - Optional: schedule cron (morning macro, wire digest) — Hermes gateway runs unattended; Concierge bills per call.
Hermes is not a marketplace like Poncho. It is a personal agent runtime. Concierge is the paid intel tool Hermes calls.
Connect MCP
CLI:
hermes mcp add concierge --url https://conc-exe.xyz/api/mcp
Or edit ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
mcp_servers:
concierge:
url: "https://conc-exe.xyz/api/mcp"
# Optional — keep the surface small for daily briefs:
# tools:
# include:
# - concierge_catalog
# - intel_macro
# - intel_wire
# - intel_verdict
# - intel_meteora
# - security_headers
# - security_scan
MCP v1.1 proxies x402 — unpaid calls return a live PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge. Use free concierge_catalog / concierge_prepare_payment, then settle via pay curl, paymentSignature, or creditsWallet. See MCP Registry · Agent SDK.
Install the skill
# From published skill URL
hermes skills install https://conc-exe.xyz/skills/concierge-hermes/SKILL.md
# Or clone from this repo after publish
# hermes skills install ./skills/concierge-hermes
Skill covers MCP wiring, pay.sh settlement, pricing tiers, cron example prompts, and pitfalls (402 before body validation, mainnet vs sandbox).

Cron example
Every weekday 08:00 — call Concierge intel_macro and intel_wire (limit 8),
summarize SPX/VIX/Fear & Greed + top headlines in 8 bullets,
post to my Telegram origin.
Concierge bills only when Hermes actually calls paid routes. Fail soft if wallet balance is low.
