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://mcp.shopigent.greeknous.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ***"
Or add it to your Hermes config.yaml:
mcp:
servers:
shopigent:
url: https://mcp.shopigent.greeknous.com/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. Prompts for any language
Greek
Βρες τα προϊόντα που έχουν απόθεμα κάτω από 5 τεμάχια και φτιάξε
μια λίστα για παραγγελία.
Πόσα προϊόντα πωλήθηκαν αυτή την εβδομάδα; Σύγκρινε με την προηγούμενη.
English
Show me all orders from last week grouped by day. Which day had the most revenue?
Create a discount called SPRING25 for 25% off on all products in the
"Spring Collection" collection, valid for 7 days. Dry-run first.
4. 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 via the confirmation gate
The confirmation gate is key: an autonomous agent can prepare destructive actions around the clock, but nothing executes until you approve.
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- Connection fails — verify the URL and that the key hasn't been revoked.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.
- Scheduled job fails — check Hermes' cron logs; the API key may have expired.
