Remove the filler words and long pauses from my latest Tella video, then add zooms wherever I click.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, once you connect Tella. Hermes Agent can't edit a video file by itself, but with the Tella MCP server it can cut clips by transcript, remove filler words and silences, add zooms, layouts, captions and B-roll, export, and publish to YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook.

Run hermes mcp add tella --url https://api.tella.com/mcp --auth oauth in a terminal, open the sign-in link Hermes shows, and sign in to Tella. Then start a new session or run /reload-mcp so the Tella tools load.

No. You sign in to Tella in your browser with OAuth and pick a workspace, and the agent never sees your password. Use an API key only for scripts, CI, or a client that can't open a browser.

Hermes Agent works with your Tella permissions in the workspace you pick, and only edits videos you can edit. Most agents ask before running a tool that changes something, and you can disconnect Tella at any time.

The Tella MCP server is included on every plan, including the 7-day free trial with no credit card. Pro is $13 a month, billed annually. Auto Capture uses credits for each take.
