SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Historically, agents lacked their own persistent email identity and could not autonomously send, receive, or manage emails without user involvement. AgentMail gives the agent its own inbox so it can operate independently for communications, signups, verifications, and notifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent-owned inbox: A dedicated address owned by the agent (e.g. [email protected]) for outbound and inbound messages.
  • Autonomous email workflows: Compose, send, read, and reply to emails, and organize threads without human intervention.
  • Use Case: Use the agent’s inbox to sign up for services, verify accounts, or manage ongoing conversations while you focus on higher-value tasks.

Quick Start

Create an AgentMail inbox using your API key, configure Hermes MCP to reference the inbox, and restart Hermes to enable agent email capabilities.
