- Vendor ArkScope decorative layers (ScrambleTitle / IsometricWave) with provenance notes; decorative-only per AGENTS.md red lines - Migrate theme tokens to Arco, register the Arco theme, and add hook adapter composables (useMessage / useDialog / useNotification) with matching signatures - Sample pages: LoginView and AppSidebar on the new baseline; docs/arco-mapping.md and docs/ui-baseline.md land - agent-bridge: prefer the PM-selected venv from facts.json over legacy in-tree venvs (legacy lacks the mcp extra, so every MCP server showed 0 tools / not connected) - agent-bridge python (vendored, deliberate deviation): MCP discovery import fallback and pyyaml -> hermes_yaml so plugins and MCP work under the PM env; install the mcp extra via `hermes pm install --extra mcp` - Chat-chain fragment: docs/chat-chain-changes/2026-10-17-phase005-arkscope-baseline.md Verified: harness:check, test (2020 passed), test:e2e (30 passed), build all green; manual: plugins 100/0 warnings, MCP 6/6 servers connected with 104 tools.
hermes-ui
Self-hosted web dashboard for Hermes Agent — chat, session history, skills, MCP servers, model management, IM channels, file management, and usage analytics in one browser UI.
This project is under active rebuild. Feature work is being staged phase by phase; see
docs/phases/README.mdfor the current plan.
Prerequisites
hermes-ui runs as a plain Node.js server. It does not bundle a runtime.
- Node.js
>=23 - Python with
hermes-agentinstalled
Install hermes-agent, then either put hermes on your PATH or point HERMES_BIN at the
executable:
export HERMES_BIN=/path/to/hermes
If the CLI cannot be found, the UI shows an install hint instead of failing silently.
Getting Started
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm run build
npm start
Then open http://localhost:8648 and log in with the default credentials printed on first start.
For development with hot reload:
npm run dev
The client runs on http://localhost:8649 and the Koa server on port 8647.
Layout
packages/client Vue 3 client: views, components, Pinia stores, i18n, API helpers
packages/server Koa API, Socket.IO chat runtime, SQLite stores, Hermes integration
packages/skills Built-in skills injected into the Hermes skills directory
tests Vitest unit/integration tests and Playwright browser tests
scripts Build and repository harness scripts
docs Architecture, harness docs, and the phased build plan
Docker
docker compose up -d
The image is based on nousresearch/hermes-agent, so Python and the Hermes CLI are already
present in the container.
Configuration
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
HERMES_BIN |
Path to the hermes executable. Falls back to hermes on PATH. |
HERMES_HOME |
Hermes profile directory. Used to isolate profiles. |
HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME |
Web UI state directory. Defaults to ~/.hermes-web-ui. |
HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR |
Alternate override for the Web UI state directory. |
PORT |
Server port. |
The HERMES_WEB_UI_* prefixes and the ~/.hermes-web-ui data directory are kept from the
0.6.x line on purpose, so existing deployments and data directories keep working.
