SpecStream gives Hermes finished lists from the live web: describe the list in plain words and get every matching row with the page it was read from, priced per match with a maximum you approve before anything runs. Portable Agent Plugins v1 package with the hosted MCP server (remote streamable-http, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration) and four skills (compile, review-work, approve-work, continue-work); no Python, no executables, no stored credentials.

## Good to know before installing

Your request text and your answers to the price are sent to api.specstream.ai; approving a price spends your SpecStream balance (new accounts get $10 free) and the plugin marks its server `untrusted`, so Hermes asks before every call that is not read-only and refuses those calls in unattended runs; a `specstream` server you define in config.yaml replaces the package's and drops that prompt unless you add `trust: untrusted`.

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 specstream
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable specstream
```

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
