Busabase for Hermes

Connect Hermes to Busabase

Nous Research's open-source agent; MCP is configured in YAML and tokens live in ~/.hermes/mcp-tokens/.

Paste this into Hermes

Read https://busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md and set up Busabase for me. Follow it through to the end, then confirm the connection works.

Give your agent this one instruction

You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole approval-first workflow, the CLI, and the full API — available in every future session without re-pasting anything.

Asks first

Busabase Cloud or Personal Desktop — your call, before anything happens.

Connects

Signs you in and stores the credential itself. No API key to copy by hand.

Seeds a Base

Creates and fills your first Base, so the workspace is not an empty screen.

Installs the skills

busabase and busabase-app-creator become permanent, for every session after this.

Prefer a connector?

If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

Run this
hermes mcp login busabase

Add Busabase to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  busabase:
    url: "https://busabase.com/api/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Authorize and reload the tools:

hermes mcp login busabase

Finish the browser or paste-back flow, then restart Hermes or use /reload-mcp. Hermes stores a refreshable token for the server under ~/.hermes/mcp-tokens/. Repeat the login command to replace stale credentials or change accounts.

Known gotchas

Restart Hermes or run /reload-mcp after logging in, or the tools will not load. Repeat the login command to replace stale credentials or change accounts.

These stepsFrom official docsNo check date recorded

Written from this agent's own documentation. We have not re-run every step on a real machine, so check the linked docs if a command has changed.

Let your agent do the setup

One instruction, reviewed access, and every change it makes afterwards arrives as a proposal you approve.
