apifare for Hermes Agent
Give Hermes Agent one prepaid key for every API it needs. There is no separate provider account or provider API key for eligible capabilities, and it all runs under hard caps and a kill switch.
1 · Get a key
Create an account at /start: email in, token out (shown once). Save the token somewhere safe.
2 · Add apifare to Hermes Agent
Add this under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
mcp_servers:
apifare:
command: "npx"
args: ["-y", "apifare-mcp"]
env:
APIPAY_TOKEN: "<your-token>"Replace <your-token> with your token. Start Hermes with hermes chat. It discovers the apifare tools and uses them like any other tool.
3 · Try it
Ask Hermes Agent to search the web for X, then to fetch a URL, then what's the weather in London. Every call is debited from your balance and lands on your signed, exportable audit chain.
4 · Stay in control
Set daily or monthly caps per agent, and keep the kill switch ready. Both are checked before a call is dispatched. When the balance runs out, your agent gets an HTTP 402 with a top-up link it can hand you; the error catalog lists every stop and what unblocks it.
What Hermes Agent can call
Everything on the key: search, filings, registries, weather, and ready-to-run tools, plus any provider key you vault yourself. Exact per-call prices are on /capabilities.
