mcp-execution vs hermes-agent

mcp-execution: This project transforms MCP servers into executable, type-safe TypeScript tools, enabling AI agents to load only necessary components. It drastically reduces context window usage and speeds up AI agent operations by achieving up to 98% token savings through progressive loading.; hermes-agent: Hermes Agent is a self-improving AI agent from Nous Research with a built-in learning loop: it creates skills after complex tasks, improves them during use, searches its own past sessions and builds a model of the user over time. It works with any model provider, talks through a terminal UI or Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and Signal, and runs on local, Docker, SSH or serverless backends.
