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.

hermes mcp login busabaseAdd 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.
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.
