Use Cortecs models with Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an autonomous agent from Nous Research with persistent memory, tools, and messaging integrations. It supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Before you begin, create a Cortecs API key by following the Quickstart and choose a tool-calling model from the model catalog.

1. Install Hermes Agent

On macOS, Linux, or WSL:

curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash

See the Hermes Agent documentation for other platforms.

Select Custom endpoint, then enter:

• API base URL: https://api.cortecs.ai/v1
