What problem does it solve?

Agent autonomy is limited by relying on the user's email for external communication. AgentMail provides the agent with its own dedicated inbox so it can send, receive, and manage messages independently.

Core Features & Use Cases

Own inbox for the agent to sign up for services, receive verifications, and respond to human or automated requests.
Manage threads and conversations using an agent-owned address (e.g., [email protected]).
Simple MCP integration with a provided API key to enable workflow automation.

Quick Start

Configure AgentMail with an API key, set up the MCP server in ~/.mercury/config.yaml with your key, and restart Hermes to enable AgentMail tools.
