Hermes Iroh Interconnect

Authenticated Hermes agent-to-agent tasks and optional file transfer over Iroh QUIC.

Good to know before installing

Tasks from a paired peer run in your live gateway agent with its full toolset; pairing is confirmed via the tool's confirm=true argument, not a UI prompt. Uses n0's public relays by default (HERMES_IROH_RELAY=off or a self-hosted URL for LAN-only). iroh_send_file can share any readable path the model names (credential-name denylist only, overridable with allow_sensitive); remote-triggered auto-fetch is off by default and confined to HERMES_IROH_AUTO_FETCH_DIR. The Rust sidecar is built locally with cargo, never downloaded.

How to install

Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-iroh-interconnect
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-iroh-interconnect
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).
