swytchcode mcp serve

How it connects

Connect Hermes in minutes

Follow these steps to connect your agent, load a toolkit, and start executing tools through Swytchcode.

  1. 1

    Install the Swytchcode CLI

    Install the CLI so Hermes can connect to a trusted runtime.

    curl -fsSL https://cli.swytchcode.com/install.sh | sh
  2. 2

    Authenticate

    This opens a browser-based device-flow OAuth flow and stores your session in ~/.swytchcode/auth.json.

    swytchcode login
  3. 3

    Initialize Swytchcode for Hermes

    Creates .swytchcode/tooling.json, an AGENTS.md agent contract, and ~/.hermes/config.yaml with the MCP server configuration.

    swytchcode init --editor=hermes --mode=sandbox
  4. 4

    Fetch an integration

    Search available integrations, then fetch one such as Stripe.

    swytchcode search
    swytchcode get stripe
  5. 5

    Add tools to the trust boundary

    Add a method, a workflow, or everything from a project, then verify with swytchcode list tooling.

    swytchcode add method stripe.charge.create
    swytchcode add workflow stripe.checkout
  6. 6

    Start the MCP server

    Starts automatically when Hermes connects through the config written during initialization, or run it manually.

    swytchcode mcp serve
  7. 7

    Use Hermes

    Hermes calls swytchcode_list and swytchcode_info to confirm tools and inspect schemas, then generates runtime code using swytchcode exec.

    List all available Stripe methods and create a charge.
