Tool configuration
Point Hermes Agent at SeaLink to access our chat models with a single API Key, and switch models by task whenever you need.
Install with: curl -fsSL https://get.hermes.run | bash If you already have it installed, run hermes update to get the latest version.
Open your config file: nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml Find the model section and update it to: model: default: claude-opus-5-5 provider: sealink base_url: https://api.sealink.io/v1 parameters: temperature: 0.6 max_tokens: 16384
Add a SeaLink entry to the custom_providers section: - name: sealink base_url: https://api.sealink.io/v1 api_key: $SEALINK_API_KEY api_mode: chat_completions models: - seed-2-0-code-preview - qwen3.8-27b - qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b - qwen3.8-max-0902 The models list specifies which SeaLink models you want available in Hermes — feel free to add or remove entries.
Head to your SeaLink dashboard → Keys and create a new key (starts with sk-sealink-). Copy the full key string. Don't have an account yet? Visit /login and sign in with your email — an account will be created automatically on your first login.
Test with: hermes "Hello, please respond in English" If you get a response, your configuration is working. Run hermes -h to see all available options.
Change the default model by editing your config file: model.default: seed-2-0-code-preview Or run hermes config for an interactive setup where you can pick your model directly.
