SpecStream for Hermes Agent web search
SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Set SEARXNG_URL in ~/.hermes/.env and search_backend to searxng in config.yaml, and Hermes Agent's web_search tool runs on SpecStream's Search API.
What you get
- Two settings
- One address in .env and one line in config.yaml. Hermes's SearXNG code stays as it is, and web_extract keeps its own provider.
- No server to run
- No SearXNG container, no settings.yml and no JSON format to turn on. The searches run from SpecStream's servers.
- Every call in your log
- Each search is one fast Search API call at $1 per 1,000, listed in your account's request log.
Set it up
- Add SEARXNG_URL=https://api.specstream.ai/searxng/YOUR_SPECSTREAM_KEY to ~/.hermes/.env.
- In config.yaml, set search_backend: "searxng" under web.
- Start a new Hermes session and ask something that needs the web.
