Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent by Nous Research has a first-class OpenViking memory provider built in. No plugin to install — just point Hermes at your OpenViking server and it handles memory storage, recall, and extraction natively.

Setup

Run the Hermes memory setup wizard:

hermes memory setup

The wizard prompts for:

• OpenViking server URL — your self-hosted server (default http://127.0.0.1:1933) or Volcengine OpenViking Cloud
• API key — leave blank for local dev mode
• Tenant account / user / agent IDs — for multi-tenant deployments

Configuration is saved to Hermes's config.yaml and .env files.

Verify

hermes memory status

Once configured, Hermes automatically uses OpenViking for long-term memory — viking_remember, viking_recall, and other memory tools become available to the agent.
