Set up in minutes

The open button drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:
  1. Choose where it runs

    On your computer through your own Hermes, or hosted in the cloud. The rest of setup adapts to your choice:

  2. Pick what it can do in OpenAlex

    A preset of real OpenAlex operations. Each one becomes a tool the agent can call, and it can't touch anything outside the list.

  3. Connect OpenAlex

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to the operations you picked.

  4. Add your personal MCP link

    The last step mints a private MCP URL for this agent and walks you through exactly this, with your real link filled in. The page flips to Connected the moment your Hermes first calls in. Hermes connects when it next starts a session.

    1. Run this in your terminal

    $hermes mcp add noclick --url https://mcp.noclick.app/s/<your-link>

    2. Answer no when asked if the server requires authentication — the link itself is the key

    <your-link> is your personal server URL — setup mints it for you.
