Description
Running multiple AI agents unattended is easy to start and hard to keep track of — which one's doing what, how many tokens they're burning, whether an MCP server crashed three hours ago. Hermes Control Interface is a self-hosted dashboard purpose-built for the Hermes AI agent stack, giving you a browser-based terminal, real-time chat, a kanban view of agent workflows, and token/cost analytics in one password-gated panel.
It includes a multi-panel 'Swarm Monitor' for watching several agents at once, an MCP manager to start/stop/restart MCP servers with log tailing, role-based access control with 20 granular permissions, and PWA support so it installs like a native app with offline caching. It's built on Node.js/Express with WebSocket streaming and xterm.js for the terminal, and ships security hardening (CSP, CSRF protection, rate limiting) out of the box. It's MIT-licensed and free, but tightly coupled to the Hermes Agent ecosystem — you need Hermes Agent and Node.js 20+ installed for it to be useful.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you're already running the Hermes AI agent stack and juggling multiple agents, sessions, and MCP servers without a central view, this dashboard is a purpose-built, free solution rather than something you'd cobble together yourself.
There's no direct competitor doing the same job for Hermes specifically, since this is a companion tool to one particular open-source agent framework rather than a general-purpose agent dashboard. That specificity is also the catch — it's not useful if you're not already in the Hermes ecosystem, and its monolithic Express architecture may need extra work to scale for teams running a large number of concurrent agents. For anyone standardized on Hermes Agent, though, the token analytics, RBAC, and MCP management alone are worth the setup versus monitoring agents through raw logs.
