Obscurify.ai
Obscurify.ai as a Hermes model provider (`--provider obscurify`, or Obscurify.ai in `hermes model`): a privacy-focused, OpenAI-compatible API to 200+ models with zero-data-retention routes and account-number sign-up (no email). The model list leaves out decision models and models under Hermes' 64K context minimum, context windows come from the catalog, and reasoning effort is sent as `reasoning_effort`.
Good to know before installing
Registers one model provider at import and nothing else (no tools, hooks, commands or threads); chat requests go to https://obscurify.ai/v1 through Hermes' own client with OBSCURIFY_API_KEY, which Hermes reads; the plugin itself only fetches the public model catalog (GET https://obscurify.ai/v1/models, no credentials) at most once an hour per process, reads and writes no files and starts no processes. Usage is billed from the user's prepaid Obscurify.ai balance; the plugin makes no payments.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
OBSCURIFY_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install obscurify-provider - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable obscurify-provider - 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).
