Claude Subscription Direct SDK
An experimental plugin released by Nous Research that reuses the locally logged-in official Claude Code CLI as a transport layer, allowing a Claude subscription to be used compliantly within Hermes Agent. It does not access the raw auth token, and its stability is affected by the CLI version.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Nous Research released the Claude Subscription Direct SDK plugin, used to utilize a Claude subscription through the official Claude Code CLI within Hermes Agent.
The plugin reuses the locally logged-in Claude Code CLI as the transport layer and does not directly use subscription credentials to call the API, thus being fundamentally different from the previously banned token injection approach.
The plugin is currently labeled experimental because the replay behavior is sensitive to the Claude Code CLI version.
The plugin installation command is `hermes plugins install claude-subscription-direct-sdk`, which installs to the Hermes config file by default and can also specify a profile.
The plugin offers three installation methods: the Hermes desktop app plugin directory, terminal commands, and having the agent install it within a conversation.
The plugin communicates via the Claude Code CLI's stream JSON protocol (`--output-format stream-json`), launching a temporary CLI process for each model call and replaying the conversation context.
