Hermes Agent + YouTube

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 YouTube with Hermes Agent

This integration lets your Hermes Agent agent search YouTube in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with video results, channel results, playlist results, transcripts — ready for reasoning and decision-making.

Setup

# Install from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com, then connect Scavio via MCP
