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 Playlists with Hermes Agent
This integration lets your Hermes Agent agent search YouTube Playlists in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with playlist entries from search, video results, channel results, shorts results -- 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 YouTube Playlists using Scavio:
# Generic HTTP integration for Hermes Agent
# Point your framework's HTTP request tool at:
#
# POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/youtube/search
# Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key
# Content-Type: application/json
# {"search":"your search query"}
#
# Rows come back under data.results.
#
# Playlist data is not available: POST /api/v1/youtube/search accepts type: playlist but the provider returns an empty playlists array, so there is no playlist title, video count, creator or visibility to read, and no removal tracking. This sample returns the videos for the query; type: channel does work if you want creators instead.
