Connect Hermes Agent to your store
Hermes Agent can operate your store conversationally — from Discord, Telegram, or the desktop app — through Shopigent's MCP endpoint.
Prerequisite: You've installed Shopigent and issued an MCP API key. See Getting Started.
1. Add the MCP server to Hermes
hermes mcp add shopigent https://shopigent-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Or add it to your Hermes config.yaml:
mcp:
servers:
shopigent:
url: https://shopigent-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp
headers:
Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
2. Talk to your store
From any connected chat:
Πόσες παραγγελίες είχαμε σήμερα; Ποια προϊόντα πούλησαν περισσότερο;
Hermes calls orders_list / products_list and answers with live data — in any language.
3. Autonomous routines
Because Hermes supports scheduled jobs, you can combine it with Shopigent for recurring ops:
- Daily sales summary delivered to Discord every morning
- Low-stock alerts checked hourly
- Weekly draft of a promo discount, waiting for your approval in the confirmation gate
The confirmation gate matters most here: an autonomous agent can prepare destructive actions around the clock, but nothing executes until you approve it.
Troubleshooting
- Connection fails — verify the URL and that the key hasn't been revoked.
- Tool missing — the category is toggled off in Curated Tools, or your plan doesn't include it.
