Summary
Codex + Hermes Agent MCP: The Ultimate Parallel AI Agent Stack (Setup in Minutes)The script explains how to combine Codex and Hermes Agent (with MCP) into a parallel AI agent stack that can build, deploy, and automate tasks like content, SEO, and deployments, including running 24/7 in the background. It shows two setups: a simple method by running Hermes Agent directly inside Codex’s terminal so both can work in the same project directory (e.g., deploying a Codex-built site to Netlify using Hermes skills), and a more powerful method by wiring Hermes as an MCP server so Codex can access Hermes tools directly. It also notes similar MCP control can be done in Claude, highlights benefits like avoiding Codex limits, outlines the “layers” (Hermes brain, MCP hands, Codex builder), promotes the AI Profit Boardroom community, and answers questions on disk cleanup using Claude and using Step 3.5 Flash as a free model option after Hermes 3.6 changes. 00:00 Why This Stack Wins 01:01 Quick Setup Overview 01:37 Run Hermes Inside Codex 02:52 Deploy Example With Netlify 03:20 MCP Explained And Benefits 04:42 Build Hermes MCP In Codex 06:19 Claude MCP Alternative 06:52 Test Run And Verification 07:29 Four Layer Power Stack 09:06 Objections And Comparisons 10:36 Recap And Next Steps 11:26 Community Offer And Resources 12:43 Q&A Disk Cleanup With AI 14:08 Free Model Options StepFun
