Deploy Hermes Agent on your own server.

Hermes Agent is an autonomous AI agent by Nous Research that runs persistently on your server, remembers what it learns, executes shell commands, manages files, browses the web, schedules cron tasks, and integrates with Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. It supports 200+ models through OpenRouter and direct integrations with…

Why Hermes Agent

Everything you need, running where you choose.

Get the full Hermes Agent experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.

Browser-Based Admin Dashboard

Configure settings, manage credentials, browse the MCP catalog, and chat with the agent directly from a React-based web UI served at port 6432.

OpenAI-Compatible API Server

Port 8642 exposes an OpenAI-compatible gateway so Claude Code, Open WebUI, Cursor, or any OpenAI SDK client can connect to Hermes as their LLM backend.

Autonomous Tool Use

Built-in tools for shell execution, file operations, web search, and code running — the agent decides which tools to use and chains them to complete tasks.

Cron Scheduling

Schedule recurring tasks with natural-language prompts and have results delivered to your messaging platform of choice.

MCP Server Support

Connect any MCP-compatible server for additional tool integrations, or expose Hermes itself as an MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, or other editors.

Web Dashboard Included

A built-in browser-based dashboard lets you manage API keys, MCP servers, messaging channels, memory, and chat sessions without touching the CLI. Protected by basic-auth and available at your domain immediately after deployment.

How it works

From template to live app in three steps.

Easypanel turns the template into real services, storage, and domains on the server you already control.

Already have Easypanel? Open your dashboard at the URL or IP of your own installation.

Installation guide

Open your dashboard

Visit the URL or IP of your Easypanel installation and choose the target project.

Choose Hermes Agent

Open Templates, select Hermes Agent, then review its service names and configuration.

Deploy and open your app

Easypanel starts every service and provisions an HTTPS domain for you.

Installation options

The template asks for these values before creating your services.

App Service Image	nousresearch/hermes-agent:v2026.6.5	Required
Dashboard Username	admin	Required
Dashboard Password Basic-auth password for the web dashboard. Auto-generated if left blank — find it in the service environment variables after deployment.	Set during install	Optional

Before you deploy

The Hermes Agent web dashboard is accessible at your assigned domain. Log in with the dashboard username and password you configured during deployment. The OpenAI-compatible gateway API runs on port 8642 and the dashboard backend runs on port 9119 — both are published for direct access. To get a model working, set up a model provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or DeepSeek) from the dashboard or via the CLI. For messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, Slack and WhatsApp, and especially setting up strict allowlists so only you (or your team) can message the agent — SSH into the service console and run hermes setup (or hermes gateway setup specifically for the messaging gateways).
