NVIDIA App control through its local MCP server: overlay capture and state, driver status and release notes, game optimization, and app launch. Requires NVIDIA App 11.0 or newer on Windows; the install is refused when the app is absent, and the tools appear while the app's service is running. The plugin reads the endpoint and token NVIDIA App publishes in its own McpServer server.json on every connection, so a changed port or token needs no reconfiguration.

## Good to know before installing

The tools read and change NVIDIA App settings on this machine; nothing leaves loopback.

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 nvidia-app
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable nvidia-app
```

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
