Feature Description
Allow the Hermes Basic Memory plugin to connect to a self-hosted remote Basic Memory project through its Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint.
Problem This Feature Solves
The Hermes plugin currently supports local projects and Basic Memory Cloud, but cannot use a Basic Memory project hosted on another service or machine. This prevents Hermes from sharing an existing self-hosted project with other clients.
Proposed Solution
Add a remote mode that accepts a Basic Memory MCP endpoint URL.
Example configuration:
{
"mode": "remote",
"url": "https://memory.example.com/mcp"
}The plugin would use the remote endpoint for its existing memory tools, retrieval, and capture behavior.
Alternative Solutions
Current workarounds are maintaining a custom plugin patch or running a separate local Basic Memory project for Hermes. Both add operational complexity or prevent clients from sharing one authoritative project.
Additional Context
Basic Memory already supports Streamable HTTP transport. This request is specifically for exposing that transport as a supported connection mode in the Hermes plugin.
Impact
This would let Hermes use centrally hosted, self-managed Basic Memory projects and share the same knowledge base with other MCP clients without requiring Basic Memory Cloud.
