Use TypeUI with Hermes
Follow this guide to connect Hermes Agent to TypeUI while it edits UI in your project.
Open Hermes
Open a terminal in the project where you want Hermes Agent to build or improve UI.
Add TypeUI to Hermes
Create or update ~/.hermes/config.yaml with a TypeUI MCP server entry:
mcp_servers:
typeui:
url: "https://mcp.typeui.sh"
auth: oauth
Start Hermes:
hermes chat
When Hermes starts the OAuth flow, sign in with TypeUI and authorize the connection.
If Hermes is already running after you edit the config, reload MCP servers from the chat:
/reload-mcp
You can also start the TypeUI OAuth flow from a fresh terminal:
hermes mcp login typeui
Create a draft
Start from a theme, a markdown ZIP, or a Figma import. TypeUI creates an editable draft design system in your workspace.
Review the markdown
Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.
Files to review
Edit the source files
Adjust the markdown when you need clearer rules, stronger component guidance, or product-specific language. After publishing, TypeUI MCP uses your saved edits when it helps your AI tool build UI.
Publish for MCP
Publish when ready so your MCP-connected AI tool can use it.
Start building UI
Use TypeUI to help me build a landing page.
Tell Hermes what to build. TypeUI helps it choose the right style and layout.
Review and refine
Run your app and review the changes. Ask Hermes for targeted improvements:
I don't like this pricing section, give me more variations.
TypeUI will now create three pricing variations so you can compare different layouts before choosing one.
After you choose a direction, tell Hermes which one to use:
I like the comparison one. Let's use it.
Once Hermes is connected to TypeUI, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a design system, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell Hermes which direction to continue with.
