Lowrouter
LowRouter as a Hermes model provider (`--provider lowrouter`, or LowRouter in `hermes model`). The picker shows the 180 `auto/` chat models with tool calling and 64K+ context, plus the user's own `alias/` models, instead of all 719 IDs from /v1/models. Context windows come from LowRouter's catalog instead of Hermes' 256K fallback, and /usage shows the credit balance in euros. LowRouter bills in EUR, so the plugin reports no USD cost and Hermes shows it as unknown. Maintained by LowRouter.
Good to know before installing
Registers one model provider and nothing else (no tools, hooks, commands or threads). Prompts, tool schemas and LOWROUTER_API_KEY go to https://api.lowrouter.ai/v1 (or the configured model.base_url) through Hermes' client, and LowRouter forwards each request to the host serving the model. The plugin's own requests are GET /v1/models (cached for an hour) and GET /v1/credits on /usage, to the same base URL with the same key, through Hermes' open_credentialed_url. No files read or written, no processes.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
LOWROUTER_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install lowrouter - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable lowrouter - 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).
