How to Add a CAPTCHA Solver MCP Tool to Hermes Agent

Introduction

When an authorized AI-agent workflow reaches a CAPTCHA checkpoint, developers need a bounded tool contract instead of open-ended retries. Hermes Agent provides official hermes mcp add client integration. This repository shows that verified boundary and naturally connects CapSolver only after explicit authorization.

What this repository demonstrates

• a verified official hermes mcp add client integration boundary;

• typed challenge input and structured output;

• one-attempt budget, 45-second default timeout, and result validation;

• fixture-first tests with no real key, target, or solver request;

• a manual-review result for denied, unsupported, exhausted, or malformed requests.

Quick start

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e . pytest
pytest -q
python scripts/smoke.py

Minimal call

from captcha_solver_tool import solve_checkpoint

result = solve_checkpoint({
    "task_id": "authorized-qa-42",
    "origin": "https://example.test",
    "challenge_type": "recaptcha_v2",
    "authorized": True,
})
print(result["status"])

See src/captcha_solver_tool/adapter.py for the Hermes Agent boundary. Production code should implement a transport using the official CapSolver API overview, createTask, and getTaskResult contracts.

Control flow

1. Detect a supported verification checkpoint.

2. Confirm the target and purpose are authorized.

3. Spend at most one solving attempt.

4. Validate a ready result before continuing.

5. Stop for a person on any error, timeout, denial, or ambiguity.

Responsible use

Use this example only with public data, systems you own, or targets where you have explicit permission. Respect site terms, rate limits, privacy obligations, and data-retention rules. Do not use it for account creation at scale, access controls, private data, credential collection, or avoiding platform safeguards.

Project status

The adapter contract and offline behavior are tested. No live Hermes Agent model session and no real CapSolver request are performed by the test suite. This is an independent educational example and does not imply an official partnership.

Conclusion

The example keeps authorization, attempt budgets, result validation, and human stopping explicit. Use the official CapSolver documentation when replacing the fixture transport.
