Search the public web, read pages as Markdown, crawl sites, and convert documents in Hermes. No API key required.

## Good to know before installing

Search queries, submitted URLs and explicitly approved local file uploads go to the public markdown.new service; needs the companion markdown-new CLI (uv tool install from the same repo tag), which the plugin runs as a subprocess with the Hermes process environment.

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 markdown-new
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable markdown-new
```

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
