Summary

hermes mcp serve should be treated as an agent-runtime command, but it should not trigger external MCP tool discovery during startup.

Current state

A local test draft exists for tests/hermes_cli/test_main_mcp_startup.py, but it currently imports _is_agent_runtime_command from hermes_cli.main, and that helper does not exist yet. That means this is not ready for PR as-is.

Desired behavior

  • mcp serve: agent runtime command, but skip external MCP discovery.
  • chat: agent runtime command and discover external MCP tools.
  • mcp list and other admin commands: not agent runtime, skip external discovery.
  • cron run: keep current runtime/discovery behavior.

Acceptance criteria

  • Add or expose the command-classification helper(s).
  • Add tests around MCP serve, MCP admin commands, chat, and cron run.
  • Startup avoids unnecessary external MCP discovery for stdio server mode.
