OpenClaw is old? Run Hermes Agent in VS Code through ACP (Agent Client Protocol) now!

In recent weeks, the Hermes Agent becomes much populor in Agent world.

Several users asked me about whether my VS Code ACP Client extension could support Hermes Agent?

So in this weekend, I have added support for Hermes Agent!

Hermes Agent in VS Code

Please note that, before you could run Hermes Agent in VS Code, install Hermes Agent via the Hermes Quickstart (Linux/macOS/WSL2 only — Windows requires WSL2). Make sure hermes is on your PATH and launch VS Code from the same shell/venv. Configure credentials with hermes model.

If you are a Windows user, you need to connect to the Hermes Agent in WSL through the WSL VS Code extension:

Actually, I've quietly developed three different ACP Clients that can suit different user groups!

If you're a VS Code user, try the ​ACP Client extension:

If you want a lightweight ACP Desktop interface on Windows/macOS/Linux, check out the cross-platform ​ACP UI:

If you want to connect to an Agent from your phone via WeChat (iOS or Android), go for ​WeChat ACP:

There’s something for everyone!

Connect to any Agent, anytime, anywhere — effortlessly.
