Summary
Connects Claude directly to Hermes Asia's paid intelligence endpoints covering Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwan markets. Uses HTTP 402 with USDC payments on Base chain instead of API keys. Eight tools exposed: Asia trade policy intel, Japanese research from Nikkei and BOJ, CN-JP patent translation, anime industry analysis, Tokyo nightlife business data, China's silver economy and lying flat trends, and 2026 real estate outlook. Prices run $0.02 to $0.03 per call. Agent automatically signs payment manifests with your wallet, pays on-chain, and receives data. Requires a funded Base wallet and small ETH for gas. Good fit if you need Asia market intelligence without subscriptions and want agents to purchase data autonomously.
