Hermes
Run bots on Nous Research's Hermes Agent with Flux Router, your own model keys or a local model.
Hermes is a trademark of its owner. Murage isn't affiliated with Nous Research.
When to use it
- You already use Hermes and want your bots on it.
- You want Flux Router tiers or a local model with a full set of tools.
Install and set up
Step 1
Find the engine
Open SettingsModels & enginesEngines and find Hermes.
You're done when: you can see the Hermes row and its status line.
Step 2
Install it
If it says Not detected, choose Open install in Terminal. Murage opens Terminal with the right command for your computer.
On macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash
On Windows (PowerShell):
iex (irm https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.ps1)
You're done when: the install command has finished without errors.
Step 3
Set it up
If Murage asks you to sign in, choose Open sign-in in Terminal. This runs Hermes' own setup:
hermes setup
You're done when: you finished the sign-in in the terminal.
Step 4
Check again
Back in Murage, choose Check again.
You're done when: the status reads Detected · signed in.
Then give Hermes a model: connect Flux Router, add a key in SettingsModels & engines from a provider with an OpenAI-style API (OpenAI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq or xAI), or add a server under SettingsModelsLocal models.
What works
- Tools: Murage's tools, including handing work to other bots, memory search, your own MCP servers, connected apps, the built-in browser, and cloud and local computers. Control of this computer is offered when Hermes asks before each action.
- Pictures you attach go straight to the model, if the model accepts images.
- Model picking: Flux Router tiers, models from your OpenAI-style keys, and local models.
- Engine commands: type
/to see Hermes' own commands next to Murage's, once a chat has started.
What Murage changes in Hermes' settings
- Flux Router: Murage gives Hermes a private, temporary settings folder for each Flux turn. Your own Hermes settings aren't touched.
- Local models: when you pick a local model, Murage adds that server to Hermes' own settings file so Hermes can reach it.
Known limits
- Needs a model. With no Flux Router key, OpenAI-style key or local model, a Hermes bot has nothing to pick.
- Voice needs its own keys. Voice calls need Flux Router credits or your own voice keys.
- Approvals and the stop line: Murage has Hermes ask it before every tool except reads, searches and its own memory, including MCP and connected-app tools, and approval levels and the stop line judge those asks. File edits ask through Hermes's own edit approval. See Permissions and the stop line.
Troubleshooting
You see
Hermes CLI is not installedDo this
Install it with the command above, restart Murage, or choose Set CLI… and pick the hermes program yourself.
You see
HTTP 401: Missing Authentication headerDo this
Hermes tried to reach a provider without a key. Pick a model from Flux Router, a saved key or a local server in Bot settingsModel, rather than relying on Hermes' automatic provider choice.
You see
A Flux Router model answers with a different modelDo this
Make sure Flux Router is still connected in SettingsModels & engines. Without a Flux key, a Flux pick falls back to Hermes' own default.
You see
The model list is emptyDo this
Connect Flux Router, add an OpenAI-style key in SettingsModels & engines, or test a local model.
