Hermes ClinePass: model tool for Hermes Agent

ClinePass model provider plugin for Hermes Agent, with Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek and more

What Hermes ClinePass does

Hermes ClinePass adds ClinePass as a model provider in Hermes Agent. After installing, you set CLINE_API_KEY in $HERMES_HOME/.env and select a model such as cline-pass/kimi-k3 with hermes chat --provider clinepass, or set provider: clinepass in config.yaml. The provider answers to the aliases clinepass, cline-pass and cline.

The plugin reads the clinePass and free blocks from Cline's live recommended-models catalog, so new pass and free models appear without a plugin update. If that request fails, it falls back to a built-in table of pass models that includes Kimi K3, GLM-5.3, DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash, MiMo, MiniMax M3 and several Qwen releases. The default auxiliary model is cline-pass/deepseek-v4-flash. Usage-billed model IDs in the OpenRouter style also work on the same host and key when passed with -m. Installers exist for Linux, macOS and Windows PowerShell.
