Sift has not confirmed an official released Hermes hosted-MCP OAuth command, so this page does not publish one. Use the Sift CLI's bundled setup skill and let the installed client choose its supported local tool path:

```bash
npx -y @sift-wiki/cli@0.1.10 skill install sift-setup
```

Read the installed skill, run `sift login`, verify `sift doctor`, and use `sift mcp serve` if the Hermes release supports stdio MCP. This remains Provisional until an official released configuration and a Sift production smoke are evidenced. [Hermes source](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent).
