# Connect Hermes Agent to Void API

Use Void API as Hermes Agent’s OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Examples use MODEL_ID as a placeholder, not an available model. Replace it with an ID from the current catalog. Choose a model that supports the endpoint and features used by this tool; vision and tool calling are not universal.

[Current model catalog](https://void-api.tech/models)

## Credentials

Save the key and endpoint in Hermes Agent’s environment file.

### ~/.hermes/.env

```
OPENAI_API_KEY=void_your_key
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://void-api.tech/v1
```

## Configuration

Select the OpenAI API provider and a Void API model.

### ~/.hermes/config.yaml

```
model:
  provider: openai-api
  default: "MODEL_ID"
  base_url: https://void-api.tech/v1
```

## Run

Start a chat with the configured provider.

### shell

```
hermes chat --provider openai-api --model 'MODEL_ID'
```
