Use Hermit

Connectors

Add a remote MCP server and run its tools yourself, and what's coming next.

Connectors is in the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar. In this build it has two things: your device calendar and remote MCP servers.

The Calendar row shows whether Hermit can read your calendar. Allow asks for access, and Open Settings takes you to the system setting if it’s off. Your events show on the Calendar page, not in chat yet.

MCP is an open standard that lets a server offer tools, like “search these docs” or “look up this repo”. Hermit can connect to a remote MCP server, list its tools, and let you run them.

  1. Tap MCP at the top, or Add an MCP server.
  2. Paste the server’s https address. Add an access token only if the server asks for one.
  3. Tap Add server. Hermit connects once to check it, reads its name and tools, and saves it.
  4. Tap the server to see its tools. Tap a tool, fill in its inputs and tap Run. The result shows under it.

Only remote servers work, over https. The address is saved on your device, and the token goes in the Keychain. Remove server deletes both.
