What is Hermes Agent?
Nous Research's open-source autonomous task-execution framework with self-improving memory, 40+ built-in tools, and native MCP support. Works with any LLM backend including Ollama, vLLM, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Searching Google Ads Transparency with Hermes Agent
This integration lets your Hermes Agent agent search Google Ads Transparency in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with top_ads, bottom_ads, ad headlines, destination URLs -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
# Install from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com, then connect Scavio via MCPCode Example
Here is a complete Hermes Agent agent that searches Google Ads Transparency using Scavio:
# Generic HTTP integration for Hermes Agent
# Point your framework's HTTP request tool at:
#
# POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google
# Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key
# Content-Type: application/json
# {"query":"your search query"}
#
# Rows come back under organic_results.
#
# Scavio has no Ads Transparency endpoint. This searches the public Ads Transparency Center pages through Google, which returns pages about the advertiser rather than the ad creatives themselves. For live ad copy on a keyword, read the top_ads and bottom_ads blocks of a POST /api/v2/google response instead.
