Economico for Hermes

Hermes is Nous Research's open-source, self-improving agent. It connects to Economico over MCP with OAuth, or runs the @economico/cli package from its shell. Sign in once and Hermes keeps your books.

What Hermes is

Hermes is an open-source agent from Nous Research with a CLI, persistent memory and skills it creates from experience. It is compatible with the open Agent Skills standard, runs shell commands, and connects to MCP servers, including remote ones that sign in with OAuth.

Connect Economico over MCP

Add Economico to ~/.hermes/config.yaml. On first use Hermes opens the browser: sign in with your email or Google, create your company or pick an existing one, and approve what Hermes may do.

config.yaml

mcp_servers:
  economico:
    url: "https://economi.co/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Connect Economico through the CLI

Install the CLI (Node 24 or newer) and log in. The browser opens once; tokens are stored and refresh automatically:

Install & log in

npm install -g @economico/cli
economico login

Or hand Hermes the setup guide and let it choose:

Set up Economico per https://economi.co/skill.md

What to ask once connected

Ask Hermes in plain language. It finds the right commands, posts balanced entries and reads the answer back. Copy one to try:

Record what a customer owes

Record the $4,000 March consulting amount due from Acme under our agreement. Show the activity statement and what Acme owes.

Record a bill against a credit

Record the $1,200 AWS bill I provide against our Activate credit. Show the posted entry and how much credit is left.

Record a payment you received

Northwind's $6,000 payment arrived in our Mercury account today. Record it against what they owe us and show their balance.

Burn and runway

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

MCP or the CLI?

Either. Both reach the same commands, reports and books. Task-specific Economico skills for Hermes will follow once the skill pack has been rewritten and evaluated.

Does Economico send payments?

No. Economico never moves money. Your agent records the bills and payments that already happened, and the books show what is still owed.
