Mac Studio Hermes Agent Server
Multi-Brand Operator
Private AI · secure remote access
Dedicated Mac Studio AI server — Ollama local LLMs, Hermes Agent, Obsidian MCP, and secure mesh VPN remote access with isolated macOS accounts per team.
The challenge
The operator needed AI agent capabilities across multiple brands without routing sensitive strategy documents, customer data, or internal notes through third-party LLM APIs. Teams also required remote access from distributed locations while keeping each brand's workspace isolated.
Our approach
- Provisioned a dedicated Mac Studio as a local inference and agent orchestration host.
- Deployed Ollama with curated local models for drafting, summarization, and tool use.
- Configured Hermes Agent with Obsidian MCP for knowledge-base grounded responses.
- Set up mesh VPN remote access with per-team macOS accounts and role-based isolation.
- Documented runbooks for model updates, backup, and agent playbook changes.
Results
- Sensitive workflows stay on-premises — no mandatory public API dependency.
- Distributed teams access the same agent stack securely from any location.
- Each brand operates in an isolated account with auditable agent activity.
- Foundation in place to add MCP playbooks without re-architecting infrastructure.
