FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Brave Search to a self-hosted Hermes agent over SSH?▼

You connect Brave Search to a self-hosted Hermes agent by deploying an official MCP server or REST fallback, setting a static BRAVE_API_KEY in the environment file, and reloading the gateway. This enables live web, news, image, video, and local POI search tools for your AI coding workflows.

What search capabilities does the Brave Search MCP integration provide for AI coding workflows?▼

The Brave Search MCP integration provides real-time web, news, image, video, local POI, summarizer, and llm-context search capabilities. These live search tools are applied directly to remote VPS deployments to support AI coding agents needing current information.

Do I need a Brave API key to wire Brave Search into Hermes?▼

Yes, you need a static BRAVE_API_KEY to wire Brave Search into Hermes. The setup process requires storing this secret key in the ~/.hermes/.env environment file on your remote VPS before reloading the gateway and running API smoke tests.

Can I safely rollback the Brave Search integration if the setup fails on my VPS?▼

Yes, you can safely rollback the Brave Search integration because the setup is idempotent and includes rollback-safe recovery. If the gateway reload or API smoke test fails, the process handles verification and recovery to restore your remote Hermes deployment.

Does the Hermes Brave Search integration work on remote VPS deployments?▼

Yes, the Hermes Brave Search integration is designed specifically for remote VPS deployments. It connects Brave Search to your self-hosted Hermes agent over SSH, handling idempotent setup, secret storage, gateway reloads, and verification automatically.
