Hermes Connector

What Hermes Connector does

Hermes Connector connects an exact Hermes profile and session to the signed-in Chrome tabs you choose. Hermes can then read and control those tabs without a hidden automation browser or guessing which tab belongs to which task. Session selection and tab attachment happen in Chrome's side panel, and the scope stays exact when several projects, sessions or Chrome profiles run at once.

A local companion and the extension talk through a broker on 127.0.0.1. Version 0.2.4 uses protocol 5 on port 8767 and can either embed the local Hermes web dashboard or discover Hermes Desktop sessions automatically, so you can attach tabs in the panel and continue the conversation in Hermes Desktop. The extension and companion must be exactly the same version, and the README tabulates matching pairs for 0.2.0 to 0.2.4 and links a support page. It is an unofficial community project by Corsen AI.
