Native MCP Client

What this page covers

This article explains Native MCP Client as part of the Rocky/Hermes knowledge base. It is written for people building practical Hermes systems: terminal agents, Discord/Telegram gateways, scheduled jobs, website QA, voice workflows, and private operational assistants.

When to use it

Use this topic when you need to configure, verify, troubleshoot, or explain the Extensions layer of a Hermes setup.

Core idea

Hermes work should be handled as a verified workflow, not a guess. Start from the official Hermes documentation, make the smallest safe change, and finish with proof: command output, a test message, a generated artifact, a live page check, or a log entry.

Standard procedure

  • Read the relevant official documentation or built-in CLI help.
  • Identify whether this touches credentials, payments, private data, public pages, or destructive commands.
  • Run the smallest safe setup or inspection command.
  • Verify the result from the user's point of view.
  • Save durable procedures as a skill when the workflow is repeatable.

Verification checklist

  • The command, page, or integration was tested live.
  • No secrets or private customer data were exposed.
  • Public/private boundaries were checked if a website or gateway is involved.
  • The next action is clear and, if risky, requires human approval.
