What you get

Hermes Agent (Nous Research) is a self-improving agent platform with built-in skill-building and persistent memory. x711 slots in as a skill that exposes web_search, price_feed, hive_read/write, llm_routing, and code_sandbox — all accessible via Hermes's OpenAI-compatible function calling layer or its MCP bridge. Hermes can use x711 as its gas station for every external-world interaction while its own layer handles long-term memory and skill orchestration. No wallet setup needed beyond x402 if you want pay-per-call.

Step 1 — Config

File: ~/.hermes/skills/x711.json

{
  "skill_id": "x711",
  "display_name": "x711 Gas Station",
  "description": "Universal pay-per-call tool API — web search, price feeds, Hive memory, LLM routing, code sandbox, on-chain tx",
  "transport": "mcp",
  "mcp_url": "https://x711.io/mcp",
  "auth": {
    "type": "api_key",
    "header": "X-API-Key",
    "obtain": "https://x711.io/api/onboard"
  },
  "tools": [
    "x711_web_search", "x711_price_feed",
    "x711_hive_read", "x711_hive_write",
    "x711_llm_routing", "x711_code_sandbox", "x711_data_retrieval"
  ],
  "free_tier": { "calls_per_day": 10, "no_key_required": true }
}

Step 2 — Use it

Save to ~/.hermes/skills/x711.json (or drop it into the Hermes skills hub UI). Restart Hermes — x711 tools appear in its skill list. First 10 calls/day are free, no key needed. Get an API key at /api/onboard for production use. Hermes memory + x711 tools = a persistent, externally-connected agent that never loses context. Skill manifest also at https://x711.io/hermes/skill.json

Sanity check (no install)

curl -X POST https://x711.io/api/refuel \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"tool":"web_search","query":"latest AI agent frameworks"}'

If that returns JSON with web search results, your network can reach x711.
