System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Connects Exa to a self-hosted Hermes agent so AI assistants can perform semantic web search, research, and web crawling without manual setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH-first integration: Configures Exa on a remote VPS where Hermes is running, keeping the workflow host-side and idempotent.
  • Secure API key handling: Stores the static Exa key in the Hermes environment, applies correct permissions, and avoids leaking secrets in chat or logs.
  • Reliable MCP wiring: Registers Exa through its official remote MCP endpoint, reloads the gateway correctly, and validates the connection with a live smoke test.
  • Use case: Ask an AI coding agent to connect Exa so it can search the web for company research, people lookup, code context, and crawling tasks from the Hermes agent.

Quick Start

Ask your AI agent to connect Exa to your self-hosted Hermes VPS using your SSH access details and Exa API key.
