Hermes Memory UI: memory tool for Hermes Agent

Read-only Dashboard and Desktop plugin for inspecting Hermes Agent memory and external memory providers

What Hermes Memory UI does

The plugin adds a memory view covering the built-in MEMORY.md and USER.md files, read-only search over earlier Hermes sessions through the session_search tool (optionally filtered by CLI, Telegram, cron, Discord, web or API), and sections for external providers: Holographic, Mem0, Honcho, Mnemosyne, Hindsight and ByteRover. Provider sections appear only when that provider is configured.

It is read-only on purpose. Writes should go through the Hermes memory and fact_store tools or provider classes so that validation, locking, mirroring, FTS, HRR vectors and memory-bank maintenance are preserved. The Dashboard and Desktop interfaces are separate artifacts that share one profile-aware Python backend served under /api/plugins/hermes-memory-ui/. The Desktop plugin registers a /memory page, a Memory sidebar item and an Open Memory command, and must be enabled separately from the backend.

FAQ

What is Hermes Memory UI?

Hermes Memory UI is a read-only Hermes Agent plugin that shows built-in memory, session search results and external memory providers inside the Hermes Dashboard and Hermes Desktop.
