Problem

cPanel shared hosting provides:

  • PHP 8.x only
  • No SSH access
  • No exec()/shell_exec()/system() allowed
  • WP-Cron only for scheduled tasks
  • No persistent daemons or background processes

This means the full Hermes agent (Python + tools + persistent loop) cannot run natively on cPanel.

Solution Implemented

Hermes AI Bridge WordPress plugin in this repo provides the agent runtime inside WordPress:

  • REST API endpoints for agent communication
  • WP-Cron scheduler for periodic tasks
  • AI provider integration (OpenClaw compatible)
  • Nextcloud bridge for team hub sync

This IS the cPanel agent. PHP acts as the agent runtime inside WordPress.
