Share integrations across Hermes, Codex and Claude Code

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: hey guys, how do you setup the mcp/cli connections across different harnesses and machines?

Why you might care

Directly relevant to your agent stack. This can affect Hermes behavior, upgrade timing, plugins, gateway surfaces, or ideas worth stealing for OAC/DestructoR666.

hey guys, how do you setup the mcp/cli connections across different harnesses and machines? I use codex, claude code and HermesAgent at the same time across different machines. it's a pain in the ass for me to configure linear, posthog, slack and other integrations. how do you do that? submitted by /u/ljhskyso [link] [comments]

Twitter is a goblin with binoculars, not the editorial board. V0 watches free sources first: RSS, Reddit, GitHub, HN, arXiv. Articles, research, opinionated field notes, and real user pain reports get top billing; releases are parked lower because staying current matters, but changelog spelunking is not a personality.
