Runtime Architecture and Commands
Hermes SEO introduces three main command-line options: hermes seo setup, hermes seo doctor, and hermes seo run.
hermes seo setup: Creates a private Python virtual environment (venv) and downloads pinned Python dependencies. Browser setup also downloads Chromium, unless skipped, and may use substantial disk space.hermes seo doctor: Can be run with--jsonto check runtime readiness without changing the system.- Isolated Execution: Credentialed utilities can run through
hermes_seo_run; utility execution uses the isolated environment and a script allowlist.
Compatibility and Technical Limitations
When deploying Hermes SEO, several platform requirements and technical caveats apply:
- System Requirements: Requires Hermes Agent 0.22.2 or newer and Python 3.10+ with
venvsupport on Linux and macOS. Windows is not declared because the registered runtime launches through Bash. - Google OAuth Disabled: Because Hermes Agent does not currently support profile-scoped Google authorization routes, OAuth-dependent workflows for Google Search Console, GA4, Google Ads, and the Indexing API remain disabled.
- Third-Party API Integrations: Optional integrations for DataForSEO, Ahrefs, Firecrawl, SE Ranking, and Bing Webmaster require compatible MCP servers or individual service credentials configured in Hermes and remain inactive unless configured.
