Web search and page fetching through Keenable's hosted MCP server, with search and research skills: single-site and publish-date filters, result and snippet limits, and page fetches that return only what a prompt asks for. Works without an API key; an optional KEENABLE_API_KEY lifts the keyless rate limits. Adds direct MCP tools beside Hermes's built-in Keenable web backend and leaves web_search / web_extract provider selection unchanged.

## Good to know before installing

Connects to Keenable's hosted MCP server at `api.keenable.ai` and sends it the search queries, URLs and fetch prompts the agent issues, labelled with the header `X-Keenable-Title: hermes-plugin`; sends `X-API-Key` only when the user adds the optional config.yaml entry with their key.

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 keenable-plugin
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable keenable-plugin
```

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
