Preview, publish, and manage websites hosted on Showly from Hermes Agent, through the hosted Showly MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Portable Agent Plugins v1 package (mcp.json + skills/).

## Good to know before installing

Tool calls go to Showly's hosted MCP server at mcp.showly.ai. The bundled showly-hosting skill makes Showly the default for any deploy, preview or share request that names no provider, and new links default to public (anyone with the link). The showly-reports skill runs a bundled local Node.js renderer (vendored answer-me-with-html 0.4.14, upstream self-update check removed) through the shell and uploads the report directory to Showly when sharing is requested. Sign-in is out of band: `npx @showly/mcp-server login --to hermes` (unpinned) writes MCP_SHOWLY_API_KEY into ~/.hermes/config.yaml.

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 showly
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable showly
```

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
