What Hermes Can Do with Your X Account

27 MCP tools covering the full content lifecycle — from first draft to evergreen recycling.

Create & Schedule Tweets

Draft, schedule, or publish tweets instantly. Pass a scheduled_date or tell Hermes when you want it to go out.

Thread Creation

Create 2–25 tweet threads from a single prompt. Hermes handles splitting, formatting, and scheduling.

Batch Scheduling

Schedule up to 50 posts in one tool call. Plan a week of content in one Hermes conversation.

Evergreen Queue

Add top posts to an auto-recycling pool with custom cooldown periods. Hermes manages the whole queue.

Analytics Access

Query best posting times, top-performing tweets, engagement trends, and content gaps — all through Hermes.

Full Automation

Research a topic, write a tweet, check your best time, and schedule it — in one unbroken Hermes workflow.

How It Works

1

Get your OpenTweet API key

Sign up at opentweet.io, connect your X account, and grab an API key from the developer dashboard. It starts with ot_ and takes about 60 seconds.

2

Add OpenTweet to ~/.hermes/config.yaml

Add one entry under mcp_servers with the npx command and your API key. Run /reload-mcp inside Hermes — no restart required.

3

Tell Hermes what to post

Your agent now has full access to create tweets, schedule threads, manage evergreen queues, and pull analytics. Just describe what you want.

# ~/.hermes/config.yaml

mcp_servers:
  opentweet:
    command: "npx"
    args: ["-y", "@opentweet/mcp-server"]
    env:
      OPENTWEET_API_KEY: "ot_your_key_here"
    timeout: 60
    supports_parallel_tool_calls: false

Then run /reload-mcp inside your Hermes session.

Built for These Workflows

Weekly Content Planning

Tell Hermes your content ideas for the week. It drafts all 5 posts and schedules them at your best engagement times — one conversation.

Autonomous Content Agents

Set up a Hermes mission that researches trending topics in your niche, writes tweets, and queues them daily without you touching it.

Evergreen Recycling

Ask Hermes to pull your top 10 posts from last year and add them to the evergreen queue with 30-day cooldowns. Your best content stays in rotation.

Build-in-Public Founders

Paste your progress notes into Hermes. It turns them into an authentic update thread and schedules it for your peak hour.

Analytics-Driven Posting

Hermes can check what's performing, identify content gaps, write a post on the winning topic, and schedule it for the best time — all chained together.

Multi-Account Management

Running accounts for multiple brands? Hermes lists your accounts and routes posts to the right one. Advanced and Agency plans support up to 3–10 accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect Hermes Agent to Twitter/X?

Add OpenTweet as an MCP server in ~/.hermes/config.yaml under mcp_servers. Set your OpenTweet API key in the env block and run /reload-mcp. No Twitter API key needed.

Do I need a $100/month Twitter API key?

No. OpenTweet handles the X authentication. You connect your X account once in the OpenTweet dashboard, then use an OpenTweet API key (ot_...) from that point on.

Can Hermes Agent schedule tweets automatically?

Yes. Tell Hermes to schedule a post for a specific date and time — it calls create_tweet with a scheduled_date and OpenTweet publishes it automatically.

What's the difference between OpenTweet MCP and the hermes-tweet plugin?

hermes-tweet is a third-party Python plugin routing through the Xquik API. OpenTweet uses the MCP protocol — no plugin install, just a config entry. Different service, different credentials.

Does it support multiple X accounts?

Yes. Advanced plan supports 3 accounts, Agency plan supports 10. Ask Hermes to list your accounts and it'll pass the x_account_id automatically.

Also available for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other MCP clients.
