Integration / Hermes Agent

Use gonka.broker with Hermes Agent

Configure Hermes Agent to use the gonka.broker OpenAI-compatible decentralized AI endpoint without placing API keys in chat or source files.

Configuration summary

Hermes Agent can use gonka.broker as a custom OpenAI-compatible provider. Set the API base to https://api.gonka.broker/v1, select gonka-auto, and load the key from a local environment or secret configuration.

Required values

  • API base: https://api.gonka.broker/v1
  • Model: gonka-auto
  • API key: your gonka.broker key stored locally

Safe setup pattern

  1. Create a dedicated API key for the agent.
  2. Store it in the Hermes environment or provider secret field.
  3. Do not paste the key into Telegram, prompts, notes, or public repositories.
  4. Set a daily usage limit before enabling autonomous jobs.
  5. Run one short request and verify usage before scheduling recurring work.

Good workloads

Summaries, classification, content preparation, agent planning, and bounded automation are natural starting points. Keep a cloud fallback for tasks that require a specific model capability until the decentralized route has been validated for that workload.
