Beautiful WebUI for Hermes Agent

Install • Features • Screenshots • Configuration • Development • Changelog

Pan is a self-hosted web dashboard for Hermes Agent. It now ships a calmer, chat-first workspace with stronger discovery, clearer integrations information architecture, denser optional navigation, and more product-grade onboarding. Chat with your agent, manage skills from skills.sh, control MCP integrations, inspect memory, and operate profiles — all from one place.

Install

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed
• Hermes Agent installed and configured (~/.hermes)

One command

npx @euraika-labs/pan-ui

A setup wizard runs on first launch to connect Pan to your Hermes instance. After setup, open localhost:3199.

First time? The wizard auto-detects your Hermes home directory, API server, and installed binary. Just press Enter through the defaults to get started.

Run in the background

npx @euraika-labs/pan-ui start --daemon  # Fork to background
npx pan-ui status                        # Check if running
npx pan-ui logs                          # Tail log output
npx pan-ui stop                          # Stop the daemon

Run as a system service (Linux)

npx @euraika-labs/pan-ui service install   # Creates a systemd user service
npx pan-ui service remove                  # Uninstall it

The service starts on login and survives logout. Manage it with standard systemctl --user commands.

Update

npx @euraika-labs/pan-ui@latest

Your configuration in ~/.pan-ui/ is preserved across updates.

The setup wizard writes these to .env.local. You can also edit them directly or re-run npx pan-ui setup.

How It Works

Pan runs as a standalone Next.js server that bridges your browser to the Hermes runtime. On startup it automatically launches the Hermes gateway if it isn't already running — no manual gateway setup required.

  Browser ──── fetch / SSE ────▶ Pan (Next.js API routes)
                                    │             │
                                    ▼             ▼
                              Hermes Gateway   Hermes Filesystem
                              :8642            ~/.hermes/
                              (auto-managed)   (skills, memory, profiles, state.db)
                                    │
                                    ▼
                              Hermes Agent sessions
                              (tools, streaming, full agent capabilities)

• Gateway — Pan's startup hook detects whether the Hermes gateway is reachable. If not, it spawns hermes gateway run as a child process with health monitoring and auto-restart. The gateway uses the active Hermes profile — no hardcoded names or paths.
• Vendored Hermes — Pan pins a specific Hermes Agent version via hermes.version.json. On first launch, if no hermes binary is found, the setup wizard installs it from the Euraika-Labs/hermes-agent fork. Use pan-ui sync-hermes to update.
• Chat streams through Hermes's OpenAI-compatible SSE endpoint
• Skills are read from ~/.hermes/skills/ with YAML frontmatter parsing
• Memory reads/writes USER.md and MEMORY.md at global and profile scope
• Profiles map to ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/ directories

Already running a gateway? Pan detects it and skips auto-launch. This works with systemd services, manual hermes gateway run, or any external process on the configured port.

Recent Changes

[0.7.1] — 2026-04-10

• Fixed post-0.7.0 regressions in skill installs, skill discovery parsing, MCP hub persistence, MCP probe refresh, stale hub metadata fallback, and command allowlist handling
• Improved install UX so blocked community skills can be force-installed intentionally and installed cards behave more predictably
• Verified current MCP install/test flows for ai.memestack/mcp and dev-fentz-envcp-envcp, plus release readiness with lint, tests, build, and dry-run packaging

[0.7.0] — 2026-04-09

• Added the full UX roadmap to main: chat-first workspace redesign, marketplace discovery refresh, integrations IA cleanup, compact navigation mode, and stronger login/onboarding guidance
• Changed shell hierarchy, session scanability, and discovery/install surfaces so Pan feels calmer and more product-grade without losing power-user depth
• Verified release readiness with npm run lint, npm run test (24/24), npm run build, Playwright suite enumeration (23 tests), and a clean npm pack --dry-run

[0.6.0] — 2026-04-09

• Added unified Marketplace, MCP Hub registry browsing, dedicated Plugins workspace, and expanded Playwright coverage (23 tests)
• Fixed plugin install hardening, skill-load/session regressions, bogus skills-hub success reporting, MCP Hub parsing/cache hydration, and unauthenticated chat/session API access
• Changed GitHub → GitLab mirror workflow now uses normal pushes instead of force-pushing protected main

[0.5.2] — 2026-04-09

• Fixed standalone npm packaging and runtime asset copying so published builds boot correctly from the installed package

[0.5.1] — 2026-04-08

• Fixed fork session crash (missing ) in Python bridge)
• Changed health probe decoupled from binary — Docker and headless deployments report full health status
• Added Docker test image with bundled Hermes Agent, Docker test suites (37 + 28 assertions), full-stack functional test (33 assertions), .dockerignore

[0.5.0] — 2026-04-08

• Added vendored Hermes fork (hermes.version.json), auto-install wizard, sync-hermes / update / version CLI commands, update banner
