Hermes

Add Noelclaw as an MCP skill in Hermes. Once connected, all 121 tools are available directly in your agent conversations.

No build step needed - runs via npx.

Requirement: Node.js >= 18. Check with node --version. Download from nodejs.org if needed.

---

Method 1 - CLI (Fastest)

hermes mcp add noelclaw -- npx -y -p @noelclaw/mcp@3.43.1 noelclaw-mcp

Reload without restarting Hermes:

/reload-mcp

---

Method 2 - Config File

Edit ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  noelclaw:
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - -p
      - "@noelclaw/mcp@3.43.1"
      - noelclaw-mcp
    timeout: 30
    connect_timeout: 15

Then run /reload-mcp in any Hermes session.

Try It Out

Just talk naturally - Hermes picks the right tool automatically.

Live market data:

"What's the crypto market looking like right now?"

Save something to memory:

"Remember that I prefer low-risk DeFi on Base - Lido and Aerodrome only"

Test memory recall in a new session:

"What do you know about my trading preferences?"

Ask Noel for analysis:

"What's your take on ETH liquid staking yields this week?"

Swap on Base:

"Swap 0.01 ETH to USDC on Base"

Scan for opportunities:

"Are there any tokens showing dip reversals right now?"

Run a simulation:

"How would markets react if a major stablecoin depegged?"

---

Semantic Memory

Noelclaw remembers things you tell it - across different sessions.

Session 1:

"Remember: I only trade on Base, I prefer Lido for staking, I avoid leverage"

New session later:

"Should I bridge to Ethereum mainnet for some yields?"

Hermes will answer based on your saved preferences - "probably not, your profile says Base-only" - without you repeating anything.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Tools not showing after /reload-mcp	Check Node.js 18+ is installed: node --version
connect_timeout errors	Increase to connect_timeout: 20 - first run downloads the package
npx: command not found	Set full path: command: /usr/local/bin/npx - find it with which npx
Auth error on tool calls	Wallet auto-generates on first use - no sign-in needed. Try restarting Hermes.
Slow first response	Normal - first run downloads @noelclaw/mcp (~5 seconds). Fast after.
