Records each Hermes session on a UNITARES server you run: one identity per session and one check-in per completed turn, so the agent's working record carries across sessions. Fail-open; never blocks the agent.

## Good to know before installing

Sends only to the server named in UNITARES_MCP_URL, which you host; there is no default server. Per session it sends your model name and platform; per completed turn a fixed check-in marker (never user, assistant or tool text). Hooks run synchronously, so an unresponsive server can delay a call by roughly 40 seconds (connection plus call timeout). After 3 consecutive failures the plugin stops reporting for that session only, until the session is finalized or reset; it stays fail-open and never blocks the agent. If UNITARES_BEARER is set, it is sent as a request header to that same server only.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `UNITARES_MCP_URL`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install unitares
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable unitares
```

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
