Radio Dm Gateway
Community
Answers an allowlisted direct message on your Meshtastic® radio.
Answers an allowlisted direct message on your Meshtastic® radio.
Good to know before installing
Talks only to the MESHTASTIC_URL you set, over plain tcp, so channel keys and text travel unencrypted. An empty MESHTASTIC_ALLOWED_NODES answers nobody. A channel packet or a direct message without pkiEncrypted is never answered, because a channel key can forge a sender. Allowlisted nodes can prompt the agent, use tools until hermes tools turns them off, and approve one command at a time. An approval question is sent only when its line shows exactly the command /approve will run. A line that still goes out after that send was declined does not let /approve run it, and the next approval is declined once. Each direct message runs an agent turn on your model, and the agent cannot send on its own. No cron job comes with it; one the agent makes stays until hermes cron remove. Hermes main does not load this platform when plugins run in their own process. Node ids, sizes and times go to nodes.json in this profile's plugin-data and stay after uninstall. The message text is not stored. Not tried on a physical radio. Meshtastic® is a registered trademark of Meshtastic LLC. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Meshtastic project.

Reaction Feedback
Community
Lets the agent see the emoji reactions you leave on its Telegram messages: react 👍 or 👎 to a reply and the agent's next turn in that private chat starts with a short note naming the reaction and the message it followed.

Good to know before installing
Registers pre_gateway_dispatch (always returns None, so dispatch is never changed), pre_llm_call and gateway_platform_event hooks; keeps a bounded in-memory record of private-chat message ids, 60-character excerpts and reactions; writes nothing to disk, makes no network requests, starts no processes and reads no secrets.

Private Yandex Alice voice input for Hermes, with replies in Telegram.
Good to know before installing
Off until you set enabled: true and allow_gateway_injection: true; then, while the Telegram gateway is connected, it listens on 127.0.0.1 (port 8788 by default) for webhooks forwarded by your own HTTPS reverse proxy. The secret URL path (ALICE_WEBHOOK_SECRET) is the only authentication: Yandex request signatures are not checked, and the skill and account IDs in the request can be forged by anyone who has the URL. Each accepted request becomes a user message in one fixed Telegram DM session and runs with that session's tools; approvals stay in Telegram and slash commands are refused. Leaving owner_user_id empty accepts any Alice account presenting the URL.

Deploy, debug and manage Render applications with 20 unchanged skills from render-oss/skills and Render's hosted MCP connection.
Good to know before installing
Connects Hermes to Render's hosted MCP server (mcp.render.com) with your RENDER_API_KEY; the server is marked untrusted so tools without a read-only annotation need approval; account permissions apply and changes can incur Render charges; bundled skills guide shell commands, file edits and Render CLI installs (including the vendor's curl | sh installer).

Show live tokens-per-second and the active model on your Discord bot's presence.
Good to know before installing
Replaces the Discord bot's public presence with the live tok/s figure and the model name of the most recent API call in this gateway (any platform or chat), visible to anyone who can see the bot; updates at most every interval seconds (minimum 10) over the gateway's existing Discord connection.

Pairs this machine's Hermes bots with the AI Chipmunk mobile app from inside Hermes Desktop — pick a bot, get the reachable host, profile and API key as a scannable code. Registers a `hermes aichipmunk` CLI command, a desktop page and a dashboard API; no tools or hooks.
Good to know before installing
On an explicit confirmed "Switch to Tailscale" it adds a persistent tailscale serve handler putting the API server's own port (plain HTTP inside the tailnet, API_SERVER_KEY auth) onto the tailnet; on a machine with no Tailscale CLI it instead runs hermes config set platforms.api_server.host <tailnet IP> on the owning profile and restarts that gateway; reads API_SERVER_KEY from every profile's .env on this machine on each status poll (masked in lists, the full key only in the pairing link and QR returned to an authenticated dashboard caller, which may be the phone over a published dashboard); shells out to the tailscale and hermes CLIs and probes only this machine's own /health; no third-party network calls.

Jp Chatwork
Community
Talk to Hermes from Chatwork rooms, built on the Chatwork API: put Hermes in a Chatwork room and ask it with [To:] or a reply, like a colleague; the answer comes back as a Chatwork reply.
Talk to Hermes from Chatwork rooms, built on the Chatwork API: put Hermes in a Chatwork room and ask it with [To:] or a reply, like a colleague; the answer comes back as a Chatwork reply. Polls the Chatwork API (no public URL or webhook), never answers a message twice across restarts, and while CHATWORK_ALLOWED_USERS is unset only the token's own account can use Hermes commands beyond /help, /whoami, /new and /reset or answer approval prompts.
Good to know before installing
Talks only to api.chatwork.com with your own API token; polls every 5 s by default while the gateway runs; stores read positions and the ids of its posted messages in <HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/jp-chatwork/state.json. Disclosure — while CHATWORK_ALLOWED_USERS is unset everyone in the rooms listed in CHATWORK_ROOMS (external guests included) can prompt the agent and use its enabled tools, with Hermes commands and approval answers kept to the token's own account; talks only to api.chatwork.com with your API token, polling every 5 s while the gateway runs; stores read positions and posted message ids in <HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/jp-chatwork/state.json; logs each asker's name and account id.

Pushover as an outbound-only gateway platform, plus opt-in agent lifecycle notifications (finished, questions, errors, approvals, kanban blockers, Hermes's sudo password prompt) via Pushover and/or native notify-send, managed with /notifications.
Good to know before installing
Sends HTTPS requests to api.pushover.net only, carrying your Pushover app token, user key and notification text (when lifecycle notifications are enabled, excerpts of agent replies, clarify questions, approval commands, the command waiting on the sudo password prompt (redacted by Hermes; never the password) and kanban block reasons; PUSHOVER_NOTIFY_QUESTION=minimal suppresses all but kanban reasons); send_message can address any Pushover user or group key; runs notify-send (argv, no shell) when native notifications are enabled; writes an unrotated log under $HERMES_HOME/logs and settings.json under $HERMES_HOME/plugin-data, and $HERMES_HOME/.env only from the interactive setup wizard. Outbound-only, no inbound or approval path, no telemetry, no background processes.
From the plugin's catalog listing.

Hermes Jetstream
Community

NATS JetStream event bus: agents publish events (nats_publish), pull one batch (nats_fetch), and wake on subject matches — live-session watches or wake routes (config-declared or runtime-registered via jetstream_wake) with durable consumers, manual ack, an idempotent wake ledger and rate rails; an opt-in lifecycle tap mirrors Hermes events onto hermes.> subjects.
Good to know before installing
Connects only to the NATS servers in your own config (no third-party calls, no telemetry); the platform adapter holds persistent subscriptions and reconnect loops for the gateway's lifetime; token/nkey/user-pass secrets come from ${VAR} references read via the profile-scoped secret scope and a configured creds file is read from its path, never written or rotated; wake routes render event payloads into prompts that start gateway turns or fire an existing cron job (optionally under another named profile), the agent itself can add up to 16 durable wake routes with jetstream_wake that persist in plugin data across restarts (subject still limited to subscribe_allowed, no cron-job or cross-profile targets), and jetstream_watch injects matching events into the live session when allow_gateway_injection is on, so keep subscribe_allowed scoped to trusted publishers.

Mirrors Hermes Desktop, CLI, TUI and ACP conversations into Discord: one public thread per session in a channel you choose, one post per turn (your message and the reply), so work started on a desktop can be followed from the phone. Posting runs on a background thread and never delays or breaks a turn.
Good to know before installing
Register() adds one post_llm_call hook; every turn's text (your message and the final reply, not tool calls or outputs) is sent to the Discord REST API (discord.com) using the bot token you configure, after Hermes's redact_for_egress plus a local token-pattern filter (fail-closed: nothing is sent if the redactor is unavailable); mentions are disabled. The bot token is read only via agent.secret_scope.get_secret (an UnscopedSecretError under multiplexing skips the turn); no external command is ever run. Each turn reads the session's title and source from $HERMES_HOME/state.db read-only; session-to-thread ids are stored (mode 0600) in $HERMES_HOME/state/session-mirror.json. The optional `hermes session-mirror backfill` CLI command reads $HERMES_HOME/state.db read-only and replays past sessions through the same redaction. No other files, telemetry or long-running processes beyond one daemon sender thread.

Owner-approved universal phone pairing and bundled read-only Live Operations reporting for selected Hermes profiles.
Good to know before installing
Paired phones get broad fleet:operator access over the internet, including cron jobs (unattended runs), Kanban task dispatch and media reads, and see live session titles/previews and subagent goals from the profiles you select for reporting; any messaging account you make an owner (with a one-time claim code from `hermes fleet claim`) can create pairing links and approve phones from a private chat, so that account's security is your host's security. Runs an explicitly activated background connector/reverse proxy behind your HTTPS origin and may launch a local Hermes backend; legacy QR flow opens a private local browser. Keeps an owner-only control socket in the system temp directory, plus pairing/owner state and shared local snapshots; reads selected profiles' session registries through private read-only imports. `hermes fleet reporting configure --apply` edits the selected profiles' config.yaml (with a backup). Local idle/retirement maintenance is explicit and not exposed to phones. Reporting adds no control power.

Chat-as-frontend for the Comfyrizz film pipeline: brief, plan, revise, explicit accept, generate, CPU assemble, export, and retake. Portable Agent Plugins v1 package (plugin.json, stdio mcp.json, comfyrizz-film skill) with the MCP server in-tree.
Good to know before installing
The stdio server launches local Node that talks only to a loopback Comfyrizz engine URL (COMFYRIZZ_ENGINE_URL); optional Streamable HTTP binds 127.0.0.1 only when deliberately enabled and has no authentication, so any local process or web page in your browser can call its tools while it runs. Paid generation (Google Colab, Comfy API, or ComfyUI) is dispatched by the agent with an approval id it reads from the engine's spend card; the bundled skill tells the model to get your explicit yes first, but Hermes itself does not prompt before paid generation or retakes. Env vars are forwarded as ${VAR} from the user environment (COMFYRIZZ_ENGINE_URL, COMFYRIZZ_MCP_HTTP, COMFYRIZZ_TOKEN, and optional provider keys); no credentials are stored in the package. No self-updater.

Run approved GitHub mentions as Hermes tasks and reply in the original thread. Polls GitHub's API in a gateway worker and sends signed local webhooks granting terminal, file, web, skills and todo tools. Optional Discord copies and read-only Hermes session progress tracking.
Good to know before installing
Polls the GitHub notifications API every 60 s or more as the bot account, and when a GitHub user on your allowed_authors list @mentions the bot in any repository the bot can see, starts an unattended Hermes agent turn with terminal, file, web, skills and todo tools on this computer through a signed local webhook route; the mention text and the repository content the agent reads are untrusted input, and the agent acts with the bot's classic `repo` token (the same GITHUB_TOKEN Hermes' GitHub tools use). Hermes' unattended approval mode (deny by default) still governs flagged commands. `hermes github-mentions routes --apply` edits this profile's config.yaml (adds webhook routes, enables the webhook platform on 127.0.0.1). Optional progress notices read Hermes' state.db read-only; optional Discord notices post through Hermes' own Discord adapter.

Composer profile picker with explicit context handoff into a new chat and verified single-folder project inheritance.
Good to know before installing
Reads focused session/project metadata; may read the live roster and transcript to verify empty sources, even for Start fresh. Copy context and Brief handoff store selected source text in a new target-profile session. No automatic submission or model call.

Private messaging through the separately installed Iris CLI. Instruction-only skill; uses a selected local identity and message history, connects to Nostr relays, and may run a persistent sync service.
Good to know before installing
Instruction-only skill: the agent runs the separately installed iris CLI in the terminal, which creates a local messaging identity (secret keys and message history stored on disk), connects to Nostr relays and peers, can run a persistent sync service until stopped, and sends messages on the user's behalf; messages received from other people are read into the agent's context.

QQ bot via the OneBot 11 protocol: connects Hermes to your own self-hosted NapCat, Lagrange, LLOneBot or go-cqhttp deployment over WebSocket — the plugin hosts a reverse-WS server inside the Hermes gateway, or dials an existing forward-WS endpoint — and adds the qq toolset (qq_send_image, qq_send_voice, qq_send_video, qq_send_file, qq_send_forward, qq_napcat_api, qq_group_history) for DM and group chats with admin allowlists, group mention gating, per-member soft limits, and cron/notification delivery to a configured home channel. Inbound images are downloaded and (with Pillow) downscaled before the vision tool sees them; long replies are split at sentence boundaries or rendered locally into a text image with fonttools/Pillow.
Good to know before installing
Talks only to the user's own OneBot deployment; the plugin's listener (default port 8643) is a long-running background server inside the Hermes gateway process that accepts the bridge's reverse WebSocket and also serves the qq_* tools' local HTTP API, refuses a non-loopback bind without an access token, and limits tool sends from a QQ session to that chat or the configured home channel unless the session is an admin user's private chat; inbound message images are downloaded from that deployment into the plugin's data directory for the vision tool; text-to-image rendering runs locally (fonttools, Pillow, system CJK fonts) with no third-party calls; credentials (the OneBot access token, allowed-user lists, home channel) reach the plugin only through Hermes's secret scope and ONEBOT_* config and go nowhere but your own OneBot deployment; no telemetry or usage reporting.

Background-task watchboard for the Hermes Desktop status bar and a side pane: every process the focused chat dispatched through terminal(background=true) (claude, opencode, codex, a build, anything) with live output tail, runtime, a silence heartbeat, a two-click stop, and OS notifications when a task goes quiet past a configurable threshold or exits (success/failure by exit code). Agent-agnostic by construction — it renders the gateway's own process.list projection for the focused session.

Speech-to-text for Hermes via DashScope (Qwen) — voice messages and live dictation. Needs a Qwen AI Platform API key.
Good to know before installing
Voice messages and live dictation audio are uploaded to Alibaba's Qwen AI Platform (DashScope, maas.qianwenaiapi.com by default, or the base URL set in stt.dashscope.base_url / TRANSCRIPTION_DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL / DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL); the API key is TRANSCRIPTION_DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, falling back to the HERMES_CUSTOM_DASHSCOPE_API_KEY custom-provider key or the built-in Alibaba provider's DASHSCOPE_API_KEY; clips are converted with the local ffmpeg into a temporary wav that is deleted afterwards.
