Nous Research launches feature-complete admin panel for Hermes Agent

Nous Research overhauled the Hermes Web Dashboard into a feature-complete admin panel for the Hermes Agent. The browser interface centralizes configuration, session monitoring, and credential management. A new Chat tab embeds the terminal interface using a pseudo-terminal (a software interface emulating a physical terminal) to maintain CLI feature parity.
CLI Command

Default Port

Auth Gate
OAuth for public binds
Dependencies
FastAPI and Uvicorn
Visual Themes
6 built-in options

This GUI simplifies managing autonomous systems with hundreds of settings. By integrating the MCP Catalog, the dashboard enables one-click tool installation and messaging gateway setup. It also provides a visual control center for the Nous Portal, managing model subscriptions and tool routing through a unified web view.

Launch the interface locally via hermes dashboard. For remote use, an OAuth-based (an open standard for access delegation) gate protects API keys on public binds. The update is available via pip install 'hermes-agent[web,pty]', and a new /reload command allows active sessions to pick up dashboard changes instantly.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

The Hermes Web Dashboard is a browser-based administration panel for managing the Hermes Agent ecosystem. It allows users to configure settings, manage API keys, and monitor agent sessions through a graphical interface instead of editing YAML files or using command-line tools in a terminal environment.

By default, the dashboard runs entirely on your local machine and does not require an internet connection to function. It binds to a local address, ensuring that your data and API keys remain on your hardware unless you explicitly configure it for remote access or public binds.

Yes, the dashboard is compatible with Windows, though the specific Chat tab requires a POSIX kernel to function. Windows users can access the full suite of configuration and monitoring tools natively, but must use the Windows Subsystem for Linux to enable the embedded terminal interface.

To secure a dashboard accessed over a network, you can use the built-in OAuth authentication gate, which requires a verified session from the Nous Portal. Alternatively, for trusted local networks, you can use the legacy session-token mode by launching the dashboard with the insecure flag enabled.
