Connect Adeli to Hermes

Post, schedule, reply to comments or messages, and read analytics on social accounts you own, all within Hermes.

Paste this into Hermes Agent

Set up Adeli from tryadeli.com/agents/hermes

Your agent reads this page, asks for your Adeli API key, and sets everything up.

Use this if your agent can't open links, or if you'd rather give it everything in one message. It covers the same setup as the link above.

Prompt for Hermes Agent
Set up Adeli in Hermes Agent so you can publish posts, read analytics, and manage comments and DMs on my social accounts (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X).

Full instructions: https://www.tryadeli.com/agents/hermes.md

About Adeli:
- MCP server: https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: header `Authorization: Bearer <ADELI_API_KEY>`. API key only, no OAuth.
- REST API with the same key: https://app.tryadeli.com/api/v1
- Docs for agents: https://app.tryadeli.com/docs/llms.txt

Do this:
1. Ask me for my Adeli API key (it starts with rk_live_). If I don't have one, tell me to sign up free at https://app.tryadeli.com, connect my social accounts, and create a key at https://app.tryadeli.com/settings/api-keys. Keep the key out of chat logs, public files, and git; store it in an environment variable or the app's secret settings.
2. Ask me for my Adeli API key. Never print it back into chat.
3. Add an `adeli` server under `mcp_servers` in ~/.hermes/config.yaml with `url: "https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp"` and `headers: { Authorization: "Bearer <my key>" }` (or run `hermes mcp add adeli --url https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp --auth header`). Keep every existing server.
4. Run `hermes mcp test adeli`, then /reload-mcp (or restart), confirm Adeli's tools are listed, and call list_accounts.
5. Verify: call the list_accounts tool (or GET https://app.tryadeli.com/api/v1/accounts) and show me my connected accounts. A 401 means the key is wrong or revoked.

Rules once connected:
- Always ask me before you publish, reply, send a message, delete, or disconnect anything. These act on my real accounts.
- Start with list_accounts and use its accountId values. Leave profileId out.
- For TikTok and YouTube video, pass a public HTTPS video URL, not a file upload.

Get your Adeli API key

Whether your agent sets this up or you do, you need one thing from Adeli first.

  1. Create a free Adeli account. Sign in with Google. Your first 3 connected accounts are free and no credit card is required.
  2. Connect your social accounts in the Adeli dashboard (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, or X).
  3. Create an API key under Settings → API keys. It starts with rk_live_. Treat it like a password: paste it into your agent’s settings or your terminal, never into a public file or a shared chat.

Connect Hermes by hand

Prefer to do it yourself? Follow these steps. They take about two minutes.

Add Adeli with the hermes CLI or in ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then reload.

  1. Create an Adeli API key

    Sign in to Adeli, connect your social accounts, then go to Settings → API keys and create a key. It starts with rk_live_. Copy it somewhere safe; you'll paste it in a moment.

  2. Add Adeli

    Either run the add command and enter the header when it prompts, or add the block below under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml yourself (keep any servers already there). The config holds your key, so keep the file private.

    Terminal
    hermes mcp add adeli --url https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp --auth header

  3. Or edit config.yaml directly

    Same result as the command above.

    ~/.hermes/config.yaml
    mcp_servers:
  adeli:
    url: "https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer rk_live_YOUR_KEY"

  4. Test and reload

    Test the connection, then run /reload-mcp in an open session (or restart Hermes) and ask it to list your Adeli accounts.

    Terminal
    hermes mcp test adeli
try it out

Things to ask once it's connected

  • List my connected Adeli accounts and tell me which platforms they're on.
  • How did my Instagram posts do over the last 30 days? Show reach and engagement for the top 5.
  • Show me unanswered comments on my latest TikTok and draft a reply to each. Don't send anything yet.

Your agent asks before it posts, replies, or sends a message. The full tool list is in the MCP tools reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Hermes setups does this work with?

Any Hermes Agent install that reads ~/.hermes/config.yaml: the CLI, and gateways like Telegram, Discord, or Slack that run on the same config.

Do I need a Nous Research model to use Adeli?

No. Adeli is a tool server and doesn't care which model Hermes is running.
