ClawRouter for Hermes
BlockRunAI/ClawRouter-Hermes
Plugin that adds BlockRun's ClawRouter LLM router to Hermes as one provider, paid per request
ClawRouter for Hermes is a Python plugin, published as hermes-plugin-clawrouter, that adds BlockRun's ClawRouter LLM router to Hermes Agent as a single provider. The README puts the catalog at 86 models from 12 labs, billed per request by USDC wallet or account credit.
What ClawRouter for Hermes does
Stock Hermes needs a provider block and an API key for each model lab. This plugin replaces that with one local provider: the /model picker shows a curated catalog grouped by lab, and image, video and web-search tools bill through the same credential. A blockrun/auto option scores each request across 15 dimensions and picks the cheapest model judged capable of the job. Seven models are free on either payment rail.
There are two ways to pay. The wallet rail signs a USDC x402 micropayment per call from a local wallet on Solana or Base, with no sign-up. The API-key rail uses a brk_live key minted at user.blockrun.ai and funded by card, and when both a wallet and a key exist the key wins. The README says to enter the key in a terminal, never in a chat, and describes a fix for two Hermes auxiliary-vision issues, #38679 and #38685, using a single api_key provider on 127.0.0.1.

How it fits with Hermes Agent
A Python plugin built for NousResearch/hermes-agent that wraps the ClawRouter proxy as a Hermes provider.
Requirements: A local USDC wallet on Solana or Base, or a BlockRun account key (brk_live_...); the seven free models need neither
Note: Models other than the seven free ones are billed per request; the README lists a $0.001 per-call fee on the wallet rail and a 5.5% plus $0.30 fee on card top-ups.
