Once connected, Hermes Agent can:
- Write articles as Markdown drafts with a title, slug, description, topics and cover or inline images, and edit them later.
- Schedule or publish a post when you say so. Saving a draft never publishes it.
- Put your blog on a custom domain such as blog.example.com, or at yoursite.com/blog with one rewrite on your own site, and check the setup status.
- Read your blog and post analytics, and invite team members with roles.
- Read and update the private blog guide that holds your audience, voice, facts and writing rules.
The LotsBlog dashboard does the whole job too: posts, topics, images, domains, analytics, appearance and team. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.
You need
- Hermes Agent with MCP support
- A LotsBlog API key
- A LotsBlog account. You can create one during sign-in.

Hermes Agent and LotsBlog: questions
How do I connect Hermes Agent to LotsBlog?
Follow the Hermes Agent setup above to add https://api.lots.blog/mcp. Configure your LotsBlog API key using the credential settings shown. Then ask “List my LotsBlog blogs and their latest posts”.
Why does Hermes need an API key for LotsBlog?
Hermes connects with a Bearer header, so it uses a LotsBlog API key instead of the browser sign-in. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it in ~/.hermes/.env, never in the config file.
Do I need an API key to use LotsBlog with Hermes Agent?
Yes. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where Hermes Agent offers sign-in, use that instead.
What does LotsBlog cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lots.blog/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can my AI agent publish to my blog?
Yes. Once LotsBlog is connected, your agent can save an article as a draft, add images and topics, and publish or schedule it when you ask. Published posts go live on your LotsBlog address, your custom domain or yoursite.com/blog.
Does my agent publish anything without asking me?
No. Saving a draft never publishes it. Your agent publishes or schedules only when you tell it to, and you can do the same from the LotsBlog dashboard.
Can my agent remember my blog’s voice?
Yes. Each blog has an optional private Markdown blog guide for audience, voice, facts and writing rules. Your agent reads it with the blog, so the next chat starts with the same rules.
Which blogging platforms support MCP?
