OpenRouter Spend

OpenRouter API-key spend and recorded chat costs in USD/INR.

Good to know before installing

Sends the configured OpenRouter key (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, or the variable named in api_key_env) only to openrouter.ai's read-only key and generation accounting endpoints, and fetches public USD/INR rates from api.frankfurter.dev unless a manual rate is set; middleware on every LLM request records ids, model, token counts and reported cost (no prompt or reply text) to its own ledger; the dashboard reads accounting metadata (session ids, token counts, billing provider) read-only from the state.db and OpenRouter Spend ledger of every profile under the Hermes root.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs OPENROUTER_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install openrouter-spend
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable openrouter-spend
  3. 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).
