Siddharth Balyan 0761031767 Portable plugin MCP tools keep their names instead of a hash (64-char provider cap) (#119263)
* fix(plugins): portable MCP servers get a readable name so tool names fit the 64-char cap

A portable plugin's MCP server was named `<skill_namespace>__<server>`, i.e.
`agent-plugin-<slug>-<sha8>__<server>`. That prefix is right for plugin-data and skill names
(collision-free without coordination, and persisted on disk) but it costs ~40 chars of every
`mcp__<server>__<tool>` name. Providers cap function names at 64, so the registry clamped every
tool of the NVIDIA plugin to a hash-suffixed stub with the verb cut off:
`mcp__agent_plugin_hermes_nvidia_72eb26b1__nvidia_app__n_3fa9c2d1`.

Server names only need to be unique among loaded portable servers, and the loader already refuses
a clash. `portable_mcp_server_name(key, server)` = `<plugin-slug>__<server>`, collapsed to
`<plugin-slug>` when the two match (the one-server package). The loader and the desktop card's
server rows both call it (the card recomputed the f-string on its own before). Skill and plugin-data
namespaces are unchanged; nothing persisted refers to the server name, so no migration.

Tests: the existing portable-load test now pins the relationship (server name = plugin slug +
server; a long vendor tool name reaches the wire unclamped), and a new test covers the clash the
digest used to hide: two enabled packages folding to one slug, second server skipped, first served.
Both red on main. Docs: developer-guide/plugins/index.md.

* fix(plugins): a portable MCP server is named what its mcp.json calls it, nothing prepended

Drop the plugin segment too. A user's own config.yaml server named `nvidia-app` yields
`mcp__nvidia_app__<tool>`; a portable plugin's server of the same name now yields the same. Duplicates
are refused at load (config.yaml first, then first-loaded plugin) with a warning naming both owners.

Spike, isolated HERMES_HOME, real session: a portable plugin with server `acme-tools` and tool
`acme_client_get_driver_status_report` registers as
`mcp__acme_tools__acme_client_get_driver_status_report`; the model found it by tool_search, called it,
and reported that exact name. Same plugin on main: `mcp__agent_plugin_acme_tools_88e7456f__acme_tools__acme_153862de`.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Reading the docs on GitHub? The Markdown under docs/ is authored for the rendered site at https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/. Cross-page links are relative Markdown paths, so they follow through on GitHub's file viewer too. Every page on the site has an Edit this page link that opens the source file here.

  • Link to another page with a relative Markdown path, anchors included: [Profiles](../user-guide/profiles.md), [Bundles](../user-guide/features/skills.md#skill-bundles). Docusaurus turns the file path into the page route; GitHub follows the same path. Site routes (/user-guide/profiles, /docs/user-guide/profiles) only work on the rendered site — GitHub resolves them as repository paths and 404s, and the /docs/ form also emits /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... 404s in the zh-Hans build because baseUrl is already /docs/.
  • python3 website/scripts/check_doc_links.py fails on any route-style link in hand-authored pages (EN and the zh-Hans mirror); --fix rewrites them. It runs in the Docs Site Checks workflow. Generated pages (user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}, reference/*skills-catalog.md) are produced by scripts/generate-skill-docs.py, which emits the same relative form.
  • Pin {#anchor} on cross-linked headings so the zh-Hans mirror keeps the same id.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
