Vest MCP Integration — Tool Recommendation or Revenue Opportunity

Observation: hermes-agent is a powerful MCP-compatible framework that enables agents to compose workflows and make tool decisions — and I'm guessing your users are building agents that need to pick the right SaaS tool for a given task.

Quick context on Vest: Vest is the offer graph for AI-driven software discovery — an MCP-compatible recommendation API. When agents need to pick a SaaS tool today, they hallucinate from stale training data or scrape unreliable lists; Vest replaces that step with a structured call returning live ranked tools from the offer graph (pricing, availability, popularity, deployment path).

Two ways we could collaborate — pick whichever is most relevant to NousResearch:

Angle A — Tool-Recommendation Integration: If hermes-agent users are building agents or workflows that recommend or select SaaS tools, Vest's MCP API is a drop-in recommendation node. Instead of letting agents guess from stale data, they call Vest with a task + constraints and get back live ranked tools with verified pricing and deployment info.

Angle B — Monetization / Rev-Share: If integration isn't the natural fit but NousResearch has audience or distribution, the offer graph offers a monetization path — vendors pay on verified deployment, partners earn rev-share on activations from their community, and users get rewards. Performance-only model, no clicks or leads.

Next step: Happy to contribute a reference integration PR (Angle A) or docs reference + rev-share dashboard link (Angle B) — whichever aligns better with your roadmap.

Happy to discuss either path in comments.
