# Hermes

> Connect Hermes to the Poix MCP server

Hermes supports adding remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP by URL, with a custom `Authorization` header. Exact config-key names vary by Hermes version, so treat the field names below as a guide rather than a literal schema — check your version's MCP settings UI or docs for the precise keys.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get a Poix Token">
    If you don't already have one, create a `poix-` Token in the [Dashboard](https://app.poix.io/mcp). See [Authentication](/mcp/authentication) for details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your MCP server settings">
    In Hermes, go to the MCP servers section of settings and choose to add a new remote server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Poix server">
    Enter `https://mcp.poix.io` as the server URL, and add an HTTP header:

    ```
    Authorization: Bearer poix-…
    ```

    Replace `poix-…` with your actual Token.
  </Step>

  <Step title="If your version only supports local server commands">
    If your Hermes version doesn't support remote HTTP servers directly, it can bridge to Poix's remote server using [`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote):

    ```json mcp-config.json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "poix": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "mcp-remote",
            "https://mcp.poix.io",
            "--header",
            "Authorization: Bearer poix-…"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Save and reconnect — `poix` should show as connected with its tools listed. You can now ask Hermes to search YouTube, pull video or channel details, or fetch captions directly.
