# How to Run Hermes Agent with DigitalOcean

## Summary

A step-by-step guide to deploying Hermes, an open-source self-improving AI agent by Nous Research, on a DigitalOcean Droplet. The tutorial covers installing Hermes, connecting it to Telegram via a message gateway, and extending it with a custom skill and MCP server to build a grocery tracking automation. The grocery agent monitors daily consumption, sends Telegram alerts when stock is low, and places orders automatically through a grocery delivery service. The pattern is reusable for any MCP-compatible service or repetitive task.
