Desktop pane to manage skills and MCP connections across agent apps: save named loadouts, review changes, apply them, and undo the latest managed operation. Agent half is inert (no tools or hooks).

## Good to know before installing

MCP sync copies your Hermes mcp_servers env/header secrets into ~/.codex/config.toml and claude_desktop_config.json (with 0600 backups).

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install hermes-loadout
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-loadout
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
