The video leans on a paid community pitch, so this page takes the setup facts from the plugin's own catalog entry in the Hermes repository and marks everything else as the video's claim. Source video "Hermes Agent Now Makes 3D Models (Meshy)" by **Julian Goldie SEO** — [Watch on YouTube →](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3HxCic6FJ84) The video includes repeated pitches for the presenter's paid community, which are not part of the plugin. ## What the official catalog entry says These points come from `plugin-catalog/meshy.yaml` in the [Hermes Agent repository](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) (maintainer NousResearch, tier "official"), read 2026-10-22. The plugin's docs are in [hermes-official-plugins](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-official-plugins/tree/main/meshy). - **What it is.** Meshy's own MCP server, pinned at `@meshy-ai/meshy-mcp-server@0.6.5`, for text, image and multi-image to 3D, texturing, remeshing, rigging, animation, concept images and 3D-print preparation, with a bundled `meshy-3d` workflow skill. - **Requirements.** Hermes 0.22.3 or later, Node.js 18 or later, and a `MESHY_API_KEY`. - **In Hermes Desktop.** Inline 3D cards with a download and convert menu, a gallery of recent generations and saved models with a "Made from" history, image sets, and a credit chip in the status bar. - **Spending controls.** Every credit-spending call goes through Hermes's approval prompt with its estimated cost, and a 200-credit limit per chat makes it ask again. - **Data and downloads.** The first start downloads the pinned server from npm through `npx`. Prompts and the images or models you or the agent name are sent to Meshy's API (api.meshy.ai) under your key; only `MESHY_API_KEY` is taken from your profile; no analytics are sent, and the user agent names Hermes and its version. Downloads never overwrite an existing file. ## What the video adds, not confirmed by the catalog - **28 tools** in groups: six that create (text to 3D, image to 3D, many images to 3D, text to image, image to image, refine), five that edit (remesh, retexture, convert format, resize, UV unwrap), four for characters (rig, animate, text to character, ready-made moves), seven for 3D printing, and the rest for checking jobs. - **About 19,000 tokens** to describe all 28 tools, loaded only when Hermes uses one, so they cost nothing in an ordinary chat. - **5 to 62 credits per call** for paid tools, and Meshy's hosted files disappear after three days, so save what you want to keep. - **File types** for a finished model: GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL and USDZ, already made; a convert button costs credits if you need another. - **Printing tools** that check printability, fix weak spots, export multi-colour 3MF, split large models into parts and hand off to a slicer, which he says it can detect. - **Why a skill.** He says the Meshy server's own rules (state the cost before spending, don't restart a job you are unsure about) are not passed to the model by Hermes, so the plugin puts them in the bundled skill. ## Gotchas & Caveats - Credits cost money, and the 200-credit prompt is a prompt, not a hard stop: read the estimate before approving. - Everything you ask for, including photos, goes to a third party. Don't send images you wouldn't upload to Meshy directly. - We have not run the plugin, and the video does not show it generating a model, so quality and print results are untested here. - The tool count, token figure, per-call credits and three-day expiry are the video's numbers; check Meshy's pricing and your account before relying on them. ## Key Takeaways - Install needs Hermes 0.22.3+, Node.js 18+ and a Meshy API key. - Spending is gated by an approval prompt with a cost estimate and a 200-credit per-chat limit. - Download what you want to keep: the video says hosted files expire after three days. ## More Hermes news [▶ Sage A1.5 in Hermes Agent: a 35B open model run locally with llama.cpp, tested on a Jupiter flyby and parallel sub-agents 2026-10-30](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-10-30-sage-a15-hermes-agent-local-llamacpp-sub-agents-jupiter-test/) [▶ Hermes Agent end to end: a VPS install, Hermes Desktop on a remote gateway, memory and SOUL.md, skills, and Bot Mode with group chats 2026-10-27](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-10-27-hermes-agent-full-setup-vps-desktop-remote-gateway-bot-mode-soul-memory/) [▶ Hermes Advanced Delegation: send each subagent to a different model or profile with hermes delegation config 2026-10-27](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-10-27-hermes-advanced-delegation-plugin-model-routes-profile-routes-0-22-5/) [▶ Local AI on a new Mac from scratch: size the model to your RAM, serve it with LM Studio, point Hermes at it 2026-10-21](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-10-21-local-ai-on-a-mac-lm-studio-qwen-hermes-custom-endpoint/) [▶ Let a local Hermes agent change your smart TV: developer mode, the TV's IP address, and a safety prompt with an undo list 2026-10-21](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-10-21-hermes-ollama-local-model-controls-smart-tv-undo-list-prompt/) [▶ Hermes Agent v0.22, the Threshold release: one-click local models, a first-launch setup chat, connectors and password-manager logins 2026-10-15](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-10-15-hermes-v0-22-threshold-release-local-models-connectors-password-logins/) [See all Hermes news →](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/hermes/) ## Go deeper: Hermes guides Hands-on guides to put this into practice: [⚡ Quick Start — 20 Minutes](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/setup/) [🧠 Persistent Memory Architecture](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/memory/) [🗓 Long-Running Tasks & Scheduling](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/tasks/) [⚖️ Hermes vs OpenClaw](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/vs-openclaw/) [🧭 Compare Agents Which agent fits your use case — side-by-side.](https://openclawdatabase.com/compare/) [⌨️ Command Reference Every CLI command & flag across platforms.](https://openclawdatabase.com/commands/)
