SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects ElevenLabs voice capabilities to a self-hosted Hermes agent so an AI assistant can speak, listen, and manage voice workflows without manual server setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Text-to-Speech Integration: Adds high-quality voice output for Hermes across messaging and phone bot workflows.
  • Voice and Speech Workflows: Supports voice cloning, conversational AI, and speech-to-text with a consent gate for cloning.
  • SSH-First Deployment: Handles secret storage, API verification, MCP registration, gateway reloads, and rollback-safe updates on a remote VPS.
  • Use Case: A team wants Hermes to answer Telegram or WhatsApp messages with generated audio and use ElevenLabs as the voice layer for customer-facing bots.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to connect your ElevenLabs API key to the remote Hermes server over SSH, verify live access, and enable safe voice output for the chosen deployment path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect ElevenLabs text-to-speech to a remote Hermes agent over SSH?

This setup connects ElevenLabs voice services to a remote Hermes agent by handling SSH-first deployment tasks like secret storage, live API verification using xi-api-key authentication, and MCP registration for text-to-speech output.

Can I use voice cloning with Hermes bots through an ElevenLabs API integration?

Yes, you can use voice cloning with Hermes bots by configuring the ElevenLabs integration, which includes a required consent gate for cloning and supports conversational AI workflows alongside speech-to-text capabilities.

Does the ElevenLabs Hermes integration support rollback-safe updates for messaging bots?

Yes, the integration supports rollback-safe updates for messaging and phone bots by applying idempotent MCP or REST wiring, ensuring safe gateway reloads and configuration changes on the remote server.

What do I need to verify before enabling ElevenLabs voice output for a self-hosted Hermes server?

You need a valid xi-api-key for live API verification, an optional voice ID for validation, and SSH access to the remote Hermes VPS to manage secret storage and gateway reloads before enabling voice output.

Why does my ElevenLabs MCP registration fail when adding voice to Hermes?

MCP registration can fail if the xi-api-key lacks proper authentication during live API verification, or if the SSH-first deployment encounters issues with gateway reloads and rollback-safe wiring on the Hermes server.
