FlashData
Web search with Google Search; Google News, Google Images, Google Shopping, Google Video Search and Google Places for research. Use YouTube Search or YouTube Extended Search; retrieve YouTube metadata, YouTube transcripts, YouTube captions and YouTube channel data; get YouTube autocomplete; inspect YouTube trainability as license-label metadata, not training permission. YouTube downloads deliver media to your own storage. One hosted MCP connection and 15 task Skills; bring your own API key and paid FlashData Credits.
Good to know before installing
Connects to FlashData's hosted MCP service (data.flashdata.dev) with your own FLASHDATA_API_KEY; every search, YouTube read or download spends your paid FlashData Credits, and Hermes asks before running only the tools the server does not mark read-only, so most paid searches run without a prompt. The YouTube download tool sends the storage bucket and storage access credentials you supply to FlashData, and those values stay visible in the chat history.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
FLASHDATA_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install flashdata-plugin - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable flashdata-plugin - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
