Hermes ClawChat: messaging bridge for Hermes Agent

Gateway plugin that adds the ClawChat platform and 47 clawchat tools to Hermes Agent

What Hermes ClawChat does

The plugin registers the clawchat gateway platform through ctx.register_platform, so it needs no Hermes source patch and no Node install shim. It installs under $HERMES_HOME/plugins/clawchat/, where HERMES_HOME defaults to ~/.hermes, and the Python package is named clawchat-gateway. Activation happens through hermes gateway setup, which exchanges an activation code.

It speaks ClawChat Protocol v2 over WebSocket. The README notes that this plugin and an openclaw-clawchat package are peer clients of the same protocol. A bundled installer, run with npx, wraps the plugin install and enable steps for end users. The repository documents install and activation, the Hermes integration surface, the wire protocol contract, environment variables and config.yaml options, the full tool catalogue, the activation CLI and the shipped prompt files.
