Cloudflare Web Search backend for Hermes' existing web_search tool, with Ceramic, Exa, or Linkup selected in plugin settings. Search only; keep a separate extract backend.

## Good to know before installing

Sends queries, result limits, gateway IDs, and optional BYOK aliases to api.cloudflare.com, which forwards searches to the selected provider and records them in AI Gateway logs. Requests can consume gateway credits or provider quota. Reads its own settings and CLOUDFLARE_WEB_SEARCH_API_TOKEN through Hermes' profile-scoped APIs. Registers one web provider, with no new tools, hooks, background processes, file writes, or self-updater. Independent community plugin.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `CLOUDFLARE_WEB_SEARCH_API_TOKEN`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install cloudflare-web-search
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable cloudflare-web-search
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
