自建中继让 Grok Bot、Muse、Hermes 互相派活
作者因 Grok Bot 额度限制引入 Muse 和 Hermes，用 MCP 与 REST 自建中继让三个助理互相交接工作，基础设施月费为零。
After hitting Grok Bot's usage limits one too many times I went down the autonomous AI agent rabbit hole. I ended up adding Muse and Hermes to the mix. One problem: none of these agents could talk to each other. So I built the plumbing myself. Grok Bot connects to my custom relay over MCP. Muse connects over REST. Hermes is a third sender on the same relay, with direct bridges from Grok Bot and Muse when bypassing the relay makes more sense. Hermes runs 24/7 on a free Oracle Cloud Virtual Machine, defaulting to ChatGPT Plus, with Grok, NVIDIA NIM, Groq and OpenRouter as alternative providers. InstaBox spins up as an on demand worker when it needs extra hands. Total infrastructure bill: $0/month. The servers and services are on free tiers, with model access coming from existing subscriptions and free offerings. Now they're handing work to each other: content research, my website, my subscriptions and any other project I'm working on while I'm not even at my computer. MCP where it fits. REST where it doesn't. Anyone else running AI agents from different companies that actually talk to each other?
