The MentisDB Agent Memory Cookbook

4.5 Hermes (Nous Research)

Hermes has a native memory-provider architecture, so MentisDB can be used either through MCP or as a dedicated provider in deployments that support it.

MCP configuration

mcp_servers:
  mentisdb:
    transport: http
    url: http://127.0.0.1:9471

Recommended practice

• Use one project chain per Hermes workspace.
• Load the MentisDB skill before delegation.
• Write TaskComplete memories as soon as delegated work finishes.
• Use checkpoints for handoff between Hermes and other coding harnesses.

Hermes-style delegation works especially well with MentisDB branches: a coordinator can branch memory for risky experiments, then merge only durable outcomes.
