hermes-nvidia: official Nous Research repo for Hermes Agent

Q: Does hermes-nvidia work with Hermes Agent?

Yes, it is a set of Hermes plugins installed with hermes plugins install or a hermes://plugin/install deep link. It only works on Windows with the NVIDIA application at the required version.

Hermes plugins for the NVIDIA App and NVIDIA Broadcast MCP servers and skills on Windows

What hermes-nvidia does

Each plugin sits in its own subdirectory as a complete portable plugin with plugin.json, mcp.json and one skill, and is installed independently. nvidia-app targets NVIDIA App 11.0.0 or newer and connects over streamable HTTP on loopback to the endpoint the app publishes in its McpServer server.json. nvidia-broadcast targets NVIDIA Broadcast 2.3.0 or newer, and its gateway binds the first free loopback port from 18100 and records it in %APPDATA%/nvidia-broadcast/gateway.json.

Installs use hermes plugins install with the repository subdirectory path, or a hermes://plugin/install deep link for the desktop app. The plugins are Windows only, the install refuses unless the application is present at the minimum version, and the tools appear while the application is running. The repository's EVIDENCE.md records evidence from real hardware for each core change, and gating is declared under extensions["com.nousresearch.hermes"] in the portable plugin format.
