Ask about the Reddit and Hacker News threads you exported with the Comment Scraper browser extension: list, read, search and quote them by comment number.

## Good to know before installing

Starts a local stdio MCP server with npx -y comment-scraper-mcp@0.1.0, which npx downloads from npm on first run; the server only reads JSON exports in ~/Downloads and the folders directly inside it, never writes files, makes no network requests, stores no credentials and sends no telemetry.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install comment-scraper
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable comment-scraper
```

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
