### Description (declared)

# Hermes Kanban MCP (`hermes-kanban-mcp-vn`)

Restricted stdio MCP bridge that submits durable work to an existing Hermes Kanban board. It does
not create another task database and does not expose arbitrary shell, workspace, profile, model,
parent dependency, or runtime selection.

## Architecture and security

```text
MCP Hub --stdio/uvx--> this MCP --HTTPS bearer--> restricted backend --fixed argv--> Hermes Kanban
```

Hermes v0.21.0 has authenticated dashboard plugin routes, but its dashboard credential grants a
broader surface than this integration needs. This package therefore includes a companion backend
that exposes only four operations and invokes the installed Hermes CLI with an argv list and
`shell=False`. It always creates a `scratch` workspace, records `created-by=external-mcp`, and
force-loads `kanban-team-workflow`. Both MCP client and backend enforce board and assignee
allowlists.

The backend defaults to loopback. Put TLS and source-IP/network policy at the reverse proxy or use a
private VPN path; never expose the Hermes dashboard or this backend directly to the public Internet.
Plain HTTP is rejected by the MCP client except for loopback tests. Keep bearer tokens only in the
service/MCP Hub secret store, never in args, source, logs, or committed config.

`ready` is conservative: a profile must both exist on disk according to `hermes kanban assignees`
and be explicitly listed in `HERMES_KANBAN_READY_ASSIGNEES` after Linus verifies its gateway,
provider, and runtime. A created task remains asynchronous. Creating one does not authorize
production deployment, deletion, external communication, or spending; normal task approval gates
still apply.

## MCP tools

- `list_agents`: list only allowlisted profiles and their conservative readiness.
- `create_task`: create a durable asynchronous task and return its real `t_........` ID. Callers must
  reuse a stable `idempotency_key` for retries; Hermes stores the key durably.
- `get_task`: return task status, c…
