How to Automate a Weekly Social Media Roundup With Hermes Agent (Setup + Scheduled Job)

Quick Answer

Add Autoadify under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml, restart Hermes and sign in. Teach it your voice once, then create a scheduled job: every Friday at 3pm, collect the week's links from your sources, write a roundup for LinkedIn and X, and save it as an Autoadify draft. You approve it from the Posts page or by replying to Hermes. Needs Autoadify Pro.

Why a Standing Job, Not a Prompt

A weekly roundup is the easiest recurring post to plan and the easiest to skip: it's Friday afternoon, the week was busy, and gathering the links takes longer than writing. It's also exactly the kind of task an agent with memory and a scheduler is good at. Hermes remembers which sources you use and how you write, so the job doesn't need re-explaining every week, and it runs whether or not you remember.

1. Connect

1. Add the entry below to ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
2. Restart Hermes and open the sign-in link it prints.
3. Sign in to Autoadify and approve.

mcp_servers:
  autoadify:
    url: "https://mcp.autoadify.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth

2. Teach it once

Remember for our weekly roundup: sources are our blog RSS feed, our changelog page and anything I've starred in this chat during the week. Voice: first person, plain, one line per item saying why it matters, no hype words. LinkedIn version up to 5 items with a short intro; X version the top 3 items under 280 characters. Always save as an Autoadify draft, never publish.

Hermes keeps this in its memory, so every future run uses the same rules. You can edit them any time by telling it what changed.

3. Create the scheduled job

Every Friday at 3pm, write this week's roundup using the rules you remembered, save it as drafts in Autoadify for LinkedIn and X with a suggested time of Monday 9am, and message me the text.

Hermes runs the job on its built-in scheduler: gather links, write both versions, check limits with list_channels, save drafts with create_post, then send you the text.

4. Approve on Monday

Read the drafts on the Autoadify Posts page and schedule them, or reply to Hermes: "Schedule both as suggested, but swap item 3 for the pricing post." It updates the draft with update_post and schedules it.

Give Hermes its first standing job: start with Autoadify and connect Hermes.

Honest Limits

• Jobs run while Hermes runs. Scheduled jobs fire only while the Hermes gateway is up. A laptop that's closed on Friday means no roundup.
• Drafts, not publishing. An unattended job is exactly where a bad week of sources becomes a bad post. Keep the "never publish" rule in memory and approve on Monday.
• Memory drifts. Review what Hermes has remembered about the roundup every few months and correct it.
• The sources are the quality. A roundup of weak links is a weak post. Curate the source list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hermes publish without me?

It can if you allow the Publish permission and tell it to. We recommend drafts for any scheduled job.

What else can I schedule this way?

Any recurring post with a fixed shape: a monthly product recap, a "tip of the week", a quarterly milestones post.

Does it work on a headless server?

Yes. Hermes' remote OAuth skill completes the Autoadify sign-in from another machine with a browser.

Can it add an image?

Yes. Ask it to generate one with generate_image or attach one from your Autoadify media library.

Can I limit which accounts it posts to?

Tell it which networks to use in its remembered rules. For a hard limit, use an API key restricted to those channels.

Which Autoadify plan?

Pro ($29/mo) and above include the MCP server. See pricing.

The Bottom Line

Recurring posts are the ones that get skipped. Hermes Agent remembers how you write, runs the roundup every Friday, and leaves it as a draft in Autoadify, so the only job left for you is approving it. Prefer automation inside Autoadify itself? See AI Workflows. Connect Hermes.
