ngrok AI Gateway

The ngrok AI Gateway as a Hermes model provider (`--provider ngrok`, or ngrok AI Gateway in `hermes model`): one access key for all your model providers, with failover. The model list comes live from your gateway, and gateway errors (unrouted model, access-policy and upstream-key failures, out of credit) map onto Hermes' fallback instead of a generic error.

Good to know before installing

Registers one model provider at import and nothing else (no tools, hooks, commands or threads); chat requests and the model list go to https://gateway.ngrok.ai/v1 (or NGROK_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL) through Hermes' own client with NGROK_AI_GATEWAY_KEY, which Hermes reads; the plugin itself opens no connections, reads and writes no files and starts no processes.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

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