Hermes is an AI coding agent that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can connect FetchLayer’s Reddit MCP server to give Hermes access to Reddit search, post scraping, and community data.
Prerequisites
- Hermes Agent installed and configured
- A FetchLayer API key — get one free (no credit card)
Setup
Add the FetchLayer MCP server to your Hermes configuration. Hermes uses the standard MCP config format:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fetchlayer": {
"url": "https://mcp.fetchlayer.dev",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk-your-api-key"
}
}
}
}Replace sk-your-api-key with your key from the FetchLayer dashboard.
Add this to your Hermes MCP configuration file or settings, then restart the agent.
Try it out
Ask Hermes:
Search Reddit for “best database for side projects” and summarize what developers recommend.
The agent calls FetchLayer’s search endpoint and returns structured Reddit data.
More examples:
- “What are people saying about Rust on r/programming this month?”
- “Get the top posts from r/webdev about accessibility”
- “Scrape comments from this Reddit thread and find the most upvoted opinions”
Available tools
All 13 FetchLayer Reddit endpoints are available: search, posts, comments, subreddits, user profiles, trending content, and more. See the full endpoint list.
