Hermes Agent + VibeSEO MCP
Hermes Agent for SEO. Powered by VibeSEO MCP.
Hermes lives on your server and learns over time. With VibeSEO MCP, it grows into a persistent SEO operator that remembers your domain, your queries, and what worked — connected over OAuth, with PKCE and token refresh handled for you.
How it compares
Hermes Agent + VibeSEO MCP
- Keyword research, audits, GSC reads as native tools
- Memory of your domain, niche, and prior decisions
- OAuth + PKCE + automatic token refresh
- Approve-and-publish drafts to your crawlable blog
What you get
A growing SEO operator
Hermes remembers what worked last month. Ask it for "next month's topics" and it builds on your prior wins instead of starting from a blank prompt.
Keyword research as a native tool
VibeSEO tools register as mcp_vibeseo_* tools inside Hermes — volumes, difficulty, intent, and related queries are first-class actions, not copy-pasted data.
Self-hosted audits
Trigger VibeSEO crawls from your own server. Hermes reads the issue list and folds fixes into its long-running plan instead of forgetting between sessions.
Search Console in your loop
Weekly Hermes runs can summarize impressions, top queries, and gainers — and propose the next batch of content based on what your audience actually searches for.
OAuth handled for you
Hermes handles discovery, dynamic client registration, PKCE, token exchange, refresh, and step-up auth. Add the server once; Hermes keeps the connection alive.
Human approval enforced
Hermes can draft, queue, and schedule — but VibeSEO still requires you to approve before any article goes live under your brand.
From research to indexed pages
VibeSEO keeps the human approval step, then handles the public surface search engines expect.
- Analyze
VibeSEO reads your site and market
Your pages, offer, audience, and search landscape inform which topics are worth pursuing.
- Draft
SEO-ready articles are prepared
Titles, meta descriptions, headings, FAQ blocks, internal links, and CTAs are built into each draft.
- Approve
You control what goes live
Review, edit, reject, or reschedule. Nothing publishes under your brand without approval.
- Publish
Pages go live on a crawlable blog
Approved articles render as indexable HTML — on the shared host, your subdomain, or yoursite.com/blog — with sitemaps, canonicals, and structured data.
- Track
Search signals flow back
Google Search Console data shows impressions, clicks, and progress at the article level.
Common questions
How do I connect VibeSEO MCP to Hermes Agent?
Run hermes mcp add vibeseo --url https://mcp.vibeseo.dev/mcp, or add it to ~/.hermes/config.yaml with auth: oauth set. Hermes opens the OAuth flow (paste-back or SSH-forwarded for headless hosts), caches the token under ~/.hermes/mcp-tokens/vibeseo.json, and refreshes it automatically.
Do I need a public server for Hermes?
No. Hermes is designed for self-hosted, single-user servers. VibeSEO MCP runs on our infrastructure; Hermes just needs outbound HTTPS to reach https://mcp.vibeseo.dev/mcp. SSH port-forwarding works for headless OAuth completion.
How does persistent memory help SEO?
SEO compounds month over month — keyword history, audit history, what you approved, what you rejected. Hermes remembers prior decisions and uses them as context, so the agent gets sharper about your niche the longer it runs.
Can I limit which VibeSEO tools Hermes can call?
Yes. Run hermes mcp configure vibeseo to refine the tool selection — for example, allow research and audits but block content publishing if you want a stricter human-in-the-loop.
