Fixes confusion reported by a Discord user (nbot) who tried pip install hermes-agent[mcp] inside the Hermes venv and found pip wasn't available.

The problem:

  • 3 docs pages told users to run pip install hermes-agent[mcp]
  • The Hermes venv is created by uv, so bare pip isn't installed
  • The standard install already includes MCP via .[all], so most users don't need this step at all

The fix:

  • All 4 occurrences across 3 pages now use uv pip install -e ".[mcp]" with the correct cd path
  • Added note that standard install already includes MCP support
  • Affected pages: guides/use-mcp-with-hermes.md, user-guide/features/mcp.md, reference/faq.md
The standard install already includes MCP via .[all]. For users who
need to add it separately, the correct command is:
  cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[mcp]"

The venv is created by uv, so bare 'pip' isn't available. All four
occurrences across 3 docs pages updated.
