HERMES + ANIMA

Give your Hermes agents an identity

Give your Hermes agents an identity that spans email, phone, voice, and a credential vault. Self-onboard from a prompt or call the REST API directly.

Connect

Connect Hermes in one step

Pick a path — each gives Hermes its own identity. The self-onboard prompt is the fastest; the MCP server and SDK wire it into your stack.

The fastest path — the agent reads the skill, signs itself up, and asks you to confirm the email.

Why give it its own identity

Its own identity

Not your inbox or your number — your Hermes agent gets its own. Every email, call, and login is attributable to the agent, not to you.

Compliant by default

TCPA, RND, and DNC checks run server-side before any call or text leaves the agent. You don't wire up compliance — it's on by default.

Use, never see

The agent authenticates with vaulted credentials it can use but never reads in plaintext, and clears its own 2FA challenges from SMS.

Working code

Prompt it, or drop in the SDK

Once connected, Hermes acts as itself. Prompt it in plain language:

“Read useanima.sh/skill.md and provision yourself an identity.”
“Email me from your inbox and wait for my verification code.”
“Once verified, text me from your new number.”

Provision an identity in code, then send from it.

import { Anima } from "@anima-labs/sdk";

const anima = new Anima(); // reads ANIMA_API_KEY

const agent = await anima.agents.create({
  orgId: process.env.ANIMA_ORG_ID,
  name: "My Agent",
  slug: "my-agent",
  provisionPhone: true,
});

console.log(agent.emailIdentities[0].email);
// my-agent@agents.useanima.sh

Credential vault

Compliance rails

FAQ

Anima + Hermes

How do I connect Anima to Hermes?: Paste the self-onboard prompt and your agent reads useanima.sh/skill.md, signs itself up, and unlocks a full identity once you confirm the email — or point Hermes at the hosted MCP server. No SMTP or provider setup.
Do I need to run my own email or phone infrastructure?: No. Anima provisions the inbox, handles deliverability (DKIM, SPF, DMARC), and supplies the phone number and voice pipeline. You just need an API key.
Can the agent receive, not just send?: Yes. Every identity can send and receive email and SMS, place and answer calls, and get webhooks in real time.
Is there an MCP option?: Yes — point Hermes at https://mcp.useanima.sh/mcp with a Bearer key. The MCP server, CLI, and SDK all expose the same operations, so pick whichever fits your setup.
How are credentials kept safe?: Secrets live in an encrypted vault. The agent uses them to log in but never reads them in plaintext — reveal ≠ use — and every use is logged with a correlation ID.
Is there a free tier?: Yes. Start free with email included and no credit card. Phone, voice, and vault unlock on a paid plan.
