Reply to Instagram comments with Hermes Agent

Auto-reply tools post the same line under every comment. Hermes Agent can read each comment and write a reply that answers it. CueEditio lists only the comments you have not replied to yet, so a second run never double-replies.

You

Reply to new comments on my reels in my usual style.

Hermes Agent

26 unanswered across 3 reels. Drafts follow your style notes (lowercase, short, no hashtags). 3 look like spam, I left them out. Post the other 23?

Example conversation. Post names and counts will be your own.

The CueEditio tools that run

  • list_postsLists recent posts and reels with comment counts so Hermes Agent can pick the ones with the most waiting.
  • list_commentsPulls comments with unhandled_only, so only comments you have not replied to come back.
  • reply_to_commentPosts each public reply under its comment.

How it works

  1. 1.Connect once

    Add the CueEditio MCP to Hermes Agent and connect Instagram.

  2. 2.Say which posts and what tone

    "My last 3 reels, short and friendly, answer questions properly."

  3. 3.Review the drafts

    Hermes Agent shows the replies before posting. Edit any, or say go.

  4. 4.Re-run any time

    Already-answered comments are skipped, so a daily run only touches new ones.

Hermes keeps memory between sessions, so tell it your DM links and reply style once. It still shows each DM or reply before sending.

Limits to know

  • Public replies are capped at 600 per hour per account.
  • Replying needs CueEditio Pro ($6 or ₹459 a month). Listing comments is free.
  • CueEditio replies to top-level comments on your own posts. It cannot comment on other people’s posts.

Questions

No. list_comments marks comments you already replied to (replied_by_me), and Hermes Agent asks for unhandled comments only.

Yes. Public replies have no age limit, so you can clear a backlog on reels from months ago. Only DMs are limited to comments from the last 7 days.

Give Hermes Agent two or three of your real replies as examples, or keep a short style note in its instructions. It drafts every reply and shows them to you before posting.

No. The CueEditio MCP can read and reply. It has no tool to hide or delete comments.

Add it with hermes mcp add and the URL. CueEditio is a remote server, so there is nothing to install locally.

Connect CueEditio to Hermes Agent
