hermes-atlas-mcp: MCP tool for Hermes Agent

MCP server that searches the Hermes Atlas catalog of 100+ Hermes Agent tools, skills and plugins

What hermes-atlas-mcp does

hermes-atlas-mcp exposes the Hermes Atlas catalog, which the README describes as 100+ community-built tools, skills, plugins, memory providers, workspaces and integrations for Hermes Agent, to any MCP-aware client. It provides five tools: search_projects for ranked keyword search with an optional category filter, get_project for the summary and metadata of one owner/repo, list_by_category for the six curated lists, get_guide for the beginner's guide, install guide or comparison with Claude Code, and ask_atlas for free-form questions routed to the site's chat endpoint.

It also offers four resources: the full catalog JSON, AI-generated summaries, curated lists and an ECOSYSTEM.md overview. Catalog data is fetched live from hermesatlas.com and cached in memory for one hour. An installer command merges the hermes-atlas entry into the config of Claude Desktop, Cursor or Claude Code without touching other MCP servers, with --print for a dry run and --force to overwrite, and a manual JSON snippet using npx is provided. The README marks it as 0.x and experimental.
