Hermes CLI
hermes mcp add orshot --url https://mcp.orshot.com/mcp --auth oauth
Or add it to ~/.hermes/config.yaml
mcp_servers:
  orshot:
    url: "https://mcp.orshot.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Paste into ~/.hermes/config.yaml.

auth: oauth is all Hermes needs, and it handles discovery, dynamic client registration, PKCE and token refresh itself. If you edited the YAML by hand, run hermes mcp login orshot from a fresh terminal: an in-session config reload times out after 30 seconds, which is not long enough to finish the browser flow.

  • Generate certificates, invoices and receipts as PDFs
  • Pipe every render straight into your own S3 or CDN

Create

On-brand carousels, documents and reels, from a prompt.

Describe the piece and Hermes builds it from your templates: a LinkedIn carousel, a one-page document, a reel cover, already in your fonts and colors.

“Show me every editable field on the newsletter template.”

“Duplicate my OG template and switch the accent color to my brand blue.”

Render

Render images, video and PDFs from your data source.

Point Hermes at a Google Sheet, an Airtable or a list of rows and it renders one asset per record from a template you designed once: product shots, certificates, thumbnails, the lot.

“Resize my banner design to every social format in one call.”

“Generate a certificate PDF for every name in my roster CSV.”

Publish

Post to 15+ social platforms, via Hermes and API.

Hermes posts to the accounts you have connected, holds a draft for you to read first, or schedules a whole week for the times and timezone you name. Every one of those actions is an API call too.

“Schedule the carousel to post to TikTok tomorrow at 9am.”

“Generate the graphic and upload it to my Shopify Files.”

Automate

Automate the loop, or drop the API into your codebase.

Have Hermes wire up an Orshot Workflow that keeps running after the chat: a trigger, a data source, your template and a destination. Or skip Hermes and call the REST API straight from your own app.

“Create a workflow that reads today's sale items from a sheet and renders banners each morning.”

“Build a workflow: incoming webhook → render → upload to my S3 bucket.”

Security and data handling

Scoped by OAuth, nothing else touched.

OAuth 2.0, standards-compliant

Authorization code with PKCE and dynamic client registration, per the MCP Authorization spec. Tokens stay in your MCP client; the server does not store them.

Scoped to your workspace

Each connection accesses only the Orshot workspaces of the account that authorized it. Disconnect from your client at any time to end access.

Tool calls only

The server receives tool calls and their inputs, nothing else. It never reads your conversation, files or memory, and it only talks to Orshot's own API.

Annotated, permission-aware tools

Every tool declares read-only or write behavior, and destructive actions like delete and publish are marked so your client asks before running them.

Full details in the MCP server reference, the help center, the privacy policy and the terms of service. Questions from your security team? Write to hi@orshot.com.

FAQ

Using Orshot with Hermes

Which Hermes config file does Orshot go in?

~/.hermes/config.yaml, under the mcp_servers key. Give it a url and auth: oauth. There is no local process to install.

Do I need an API key for Orshot in Hermes?

No. Orshot's MCP server supports dynamic client registration, so auth: oauth is enough. Hermes handles discovery, PKCE, token exchange and refresh on its own. You can pass a workspace API key as a bearer header instead if you prefer.

My Hermes OAuth login keeps timing out, why?

Editing ~/.hermes/config.yaml inside a running session triggers an auto-reload with a 30 second timeout, which is not long enough to finish a browser flow. Add the entry, then run `hermes mcp login orshot` from a fresh terminal, which waits the full five minutes.

Can Hermes render on a schedule with Orshot?

Yes. Hermes can run tasks on a cron schedule, so it can call Orshot to render a daily or weekly graphic from your template and deliver it without you prompting each time.

What can Hermes do with Orshot once connected?

You can ask Hermes in plain language to render images, PDFs and video from your Orshot templates, resize one design to every social format, and publish the result to social. No image infrastructure to build.

Is the Orshot MCP server free to use?

Connecting is free. Renders draw from your Orshot plan, and every account starts with 30 free credits and no credit card.

What data can the Orshot MCP server access?

Only the Orshot workspaces of the account that authorized it, over OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. The server receives tool calls and their inputs, never your conversation or files, and every call goes to Orshot's own API. Disconnect from your client at any time to end access.

How are risky actions like delete or publish handled?

Every tool declares whether it reads or writes, and destructive actions carry an explicit annotation, so MCP clients ask for confirmation before running them. Read-only tools like listing templates can run without a prompt.

Can Hermes post to my social accounts?

Yes, once you connect that account in your Orshot dashboard. After it is connected, Hermes can draft, schedule or publish to it. Rendering and everything else works without connecting any social account.

Give Hermes your templates. 30 free credits to try.

No credit card. Connect the hosted MCP server, then let Hermes render images, PDFs and video from your Orshot templates.
