Hermes Agent on Sideren.

Hermes Agent speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions dialect and takes named providers, so Sideren is a config file away.

One command

npx sideren setup --tool hermes --key sdn_your_key --model auto

The setup helper writes a named provider (the current Hermes shape) — not bare provider: custom with an inline api_key. Bare custom still falls through to OpenRouter on some agent-run paths, and secrets belong in ~/.hermes/.env.

By hand

~/.hermes/config.yaml

model:
  provider: custom:sideren
  default: auto

providers:
  sideren:
    name: Sideren
    api: https://api.sideren.io/v1
    key_env: SIDEREN_API_KEY
    transport: chat_completions
    default_model: auto

~/.hermes/.env

SIDEREN_API_KEY=sdn_your_key

The /v1 in api is required — Hermes does not add it. Swap default / default_model to "@sdn/glm-5" for heavy coding, or any other catalog id — quote it, because an unquoted @ is invalid YAML.

Verify

Run hermes and send a trivial prompt; switch models later with hermes model or /model inside a session. To confirm the key works against the gateway without Hermes in the loop:

npx sideren test --key sdn_your_key
