Hermes Workbench
The Hermes desktop app in your browser. `hermes workbench` serves the desktop interface through the Hermes dashboard, for headless servers, VPSes and tablets.
Good to know before installing
Community plugin, not a Nous product. On the first `hermes workbench` run and again after each Hermes update it runs `npm install --ignore-scripts` (guided by Hermes's lockfile) and Vite against your Hermes checkout's desktop sources, writing only under ~/.hermes/hermes-workbench and its own plugin dir (the checkout is only read), and starts `hermes dashboard` on loopback when none is running.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-workbench - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-workbench - 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).
