IndieTools lets AI agents discover and research indie products and founders. Search the product catalog, retrieve company and founder profiles, explore categories and technologies, access public documentation, and inspect website performance rankings to support product discovery and market research.
Hermes is Nous Research's command-line agent. MCP servers are declared in its YAML config and reloaded without a restart.
This guide connects IndieTools MCP to Hermes through MewCP, so Hermes can use IndieTools MCP's 12 tools, like list_public_document_families, list_public_documents and search_public_content.
IndieTools MCP needs no credentials, but every call still runs through MewCP: scoped, checked and logged like any other.

Other clients
IndieTools MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact IndieTools MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
Edit config.yaml in your Hermes config directory (~/.hermes).
Put this under the top-level "mcp_servers:" key.
Run /reload-mcp in Hermes, or start a fresh session. Sign in when the browser window opens.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
Discover every content family in the current prepared public snapshot, including scope, eligible document counts and export paths. No generation or provider checks run on reads.
Enumerate registered eligible public document summaries, optionally within one family. Follow nextCursor with the same family and version. Use get_public_document for full text and every semantic part; summaries are not full records.
Search prepared public document text across families. Results are attributed summaries, with detailUrl and explicit version-bound continuation. Fetch the full relevant record before answering; no arbitrary URL fetch or external provider is invoked.
Fetch full public Markdown for a registered document ID, with canonical attribution and freshness. Follow nextPart at the returned version until nextPart is null, then concatenate Markdown parts in order. complete means the entire document fits in this response. Each decoded part is bounded; no private files, arbitrary URLs, SQL or external checks are accepted. A stale or revoked version requires restarting discovery.
Search public IndieTools products and discoverable founders. Paid placement does not alter result order.
List public products newest first with bounded pagination.
Read one public product by its canonical slug, including its effective public SEO, GEO, FAQ and product facts. Use this detail for product-specific answers; list and search results are summaries. Private drafts and commercial preparation are excluded.
List discoverable IndieTools founder profiles with bounded pagination.
Read one discoverable founder profile by its canonical slug.
List public product categories and their public product counts with bounded pagination. Follow pagination.hasNext for all categories.
List active technologies used by public products with bounded pagination. Follow pagination.hasNext for all technologies.
List the latest or a selected finalized IndieTools Speed board, optionally within one category. ISO-week and category filters resolve the same permanent editions as the public archive. Every result is an IndieTools Product and links to its canonical Product page.
