Connect Ditto to Hermes Agent

Add the Ditto Hermes skill tap, install the Ditto skill, create a Hermes API key, and verify Hermes can use Ditto through the Ditto CLI.

Hermes Agent uses Ditto through a Hermes skill that calls the Ditto CLI. This is separate from MCP setup.

Before You Start

You need Hermes Agent installed.

You can create your Ditto account during the connection flow.

Install The Skill

Add the Ditto skill tap, then install the skill:

hermes skills tap add ditto-assistant/ditto-hermes
hermes skills install ditto-assistant/ditto-hermes/ditto

The skill source is ditto-assistant/ditto-hermes. Hermes’ skill system supports GitHub taps, so the tap command subscribes Hermes to that repository and the install command pulls the ditto skill from it.

If you need to verify or repair the CLI directly, use the Ditto CLI docs.

Create A Key

Hermes prompts for the required DITTO_API_KEY during skill setup.

  1. Open app.heyditto.ai/connect/hermes.
  2. Sign in.
  3. Create a new key and copy it.
  4. Paste it into the Hermes prompt.

The app connect page for this integration is app.heyditto.ai/connect/hermes.

If you missed the prompt or need to rotate the value:

hermes skills config ditto

Verify

Check the CLI can reach Ditto:

ditto status

Then make a real account-backed request:

ditto subjects "test" --output json

Hermes can now use Ditto memory when the conversation calls for it. See Ditto CLI verification for the standalone command output shape.

Troubleshooting

SymptomFix

Requests fail after working previouslyRun ditto status. If the key was revoked, rotate it with ditto logout followed by ditto login <new-key>, then update Hermes with hermes skills config ditto.
