Elixir MCP Libraries: anubis_mcp vs hermes_mcp (Dec 2025)

anubis_mcp (zoedsoupe fork) is preferred over hermes_mcp (CloudWalk) for Elixir MCP servers as of Dec 2025 — more actively maintained by the original developer.

As of December 2025, two main Elixir libraries exist for implementing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers: - **anubis_mcp** (v0.17.0, Dec 2025): A fork by zoedsoupe, the original developer who left CloudWalk. More actively maintained and personally invested in by the original author. Recommended choice. - **hermes_mcp** (v0.14.1, Aug 2025): The CloudWalk corporate version. Less actively updated after the original developer departed. The fork happened because the original developer left CloudWalk and continued development independently. Both implement the same MCP protocol, but anubis_mcp tracks the evolving spec more closely.
