Read https://lotsstore.app/skill.md and help me connect LotsStore for you.What Hermes Agent can do with LotsStore
Once connected, Hermes Agent can:
- Add and update products, variants, prices, categories and collections. New products start as drafts.
- Check and set stock for each variant.
- See new orders, accept or reject them, and mark them processing, shipped or delivered.
- Create and manage discount codes.
- Read your sales: revenue, orders, average order value and where visitors drop off.
- Look up customers, and moderate and reply to product reviews.
- Publish your storefront once you approve its address.
The LotsStore dashboard does the whole job on its own too: products, stock, orders, customers, discounts, payments and your storefront. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.
You need
- Hermes Agent with MCP support
- A LotsStore API key
- A LotsStore account. You can create one during sign-in.
Connect Hermes Agent to LotsStore
Add the HTTP server
Merge this server into mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml. Store LOTSSTORE_API_KEY privately in ~/.hermes/.env; Hermes resolves the environment reference when it connects. Create the key at https://api.lotsstore.app/dashboard.
mcp_servers: lots-commerce: url: "https://api.lotsstore.app/mcp" headers: Authorization: "Bearer ${LOTSSTORE_API_KEY}"Restart Hermes
Restart your Hermes session to load the server and its tools.
Check the tools
Ask your agent “List my stores in LotsStore” before asking it to change anything.
What to ask next
- “Which orders are waiting for me to accept?”
- “We are out of the blue mug. Set its stock to 0 and tell me who ordered it this week.”
- “Add a summer tee in sizes S, M and L as a draft so I can check it before it goes live.”
- “How did my store do last week? Show revenue, orders and where visitors drop off.”
If something goes wrong
- LotsStore tools are not available
- Check that LotsStore is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.

Hermes Agent and LotsStore: questions
How do I connect Hermes Agent to LotsStore?
Follow the Hermes Agent setup above to add https://api.lotsstore.app/mcp. Configure your LotsStore API key using the credential settings shown. Then ask “List my stores in LotsStore”.
Why does Hermes need an API key for LotsStore?
Hermes connects with a Bearer header, so it uses a LotsStore API key instead of the browser sign-in. Create one at https://api.lotsstore.app/dashboard and keep it in ~/.hermes/.env, never in the config file.
Do I need an API key to use LotsStore with Hermes Agent?
Yes. Create one at https://api.lotsstore.app/dashboard and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where Hermes Agent offers sign-in, use that instead.
What does LotsStore cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lotsstore.app/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can my agent take payments or move money?
No. Shoppers pay straight into your own Stripe or Razorpay account, by UPI to your UPI ID, or by ordering on WhatsApp, and LotsStore never holds the money. Your agent never asks for card details or payment keys: you connect Stripe or Razorpay yourself.
Can my agent delete my products or my store?
Your agent can delete a product or a category when you ask it to, and that cannot be undone, so it should confirm with you first. It cannot delete a store. The owner can archive one, which takes the storefront offline and stops billing for it, and restore it within 30 days.
Where do I see what my agent changed?
Everything your agent does shows up in your LotsStore dashboard. You approve the connection when you sign in, and you can disconnect it at any time from connected apps.
LotsStore tools are not available
Check that LotsStore is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
