Hermes Tweet for Twitter Search & X Actions

Add Twitter API search, monitoring, and approved X actions to Hermes Agent.

Explore 102 OpenAPI-generated endpoints, including 33 prepaid reads and 7 direct MPP routes. Reads and actions use separate tools. Actions stay disabled by default. The plugin bundles a Hermes Skill and 2 slash commands.

When to use Hermes Tweet

Use this plugin for X/Twitter search, reads, or monitoring in Hermes. Choose an SDK for application code.

Install

Install and enable the plugin:

hermes plugins install Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet --enable

Hermes scans plugins during install and update. Review any warning before continuing. A dangerous verdict blocks installation or disables an update.

Or install the PyPI package into Hermes:

uv pip install --python ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python hermes-tweet
hermes plugins enable hermes-tweet

Install a local checkout:

hermes plugins install file:///absolute/path/to/hermes-tweet --force --enable

Configure

Create an API key in Xquik. Then set:

export XQUIK_API_KEY="xq_..."

Optional settings:

export XQUIK_BASE_URL="https://xquik.com"
export HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS="false"

Restart Hermes after changing environment variables.

Tools

Use tweet_explore first. Then pass a listed /api/v1/... path to the matching tool.

Copied Xquik URLs work when their paths match the catalog.

Common Twitter API tasks

Start with tweet_explore. Invoke only the path returned by the catalog.

Set include_actions for extraction, monitoring, and writing searches. tweet_action always follows the approval rules below.

Safety

• Tools never accept credentials as arguments.
• The plugin injects XQUIK_API_KEY at request time.
• Admin, billing, credit, support, guest-wallet, and API-key routes stay hidden.
• Account re-authentication routes stay hidden.
• Binary downloads stay outside the agent catalog. Use REST for those files.
• Private reads and mutations use tweet_action.
• tweet_action requires HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true.

Without an API key, Hermes exposes only tweet_explore.

Slash commands

Development
