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.
