Give Hermes Agent its own inbox
Gork Mail is the best way to give Hermes Agent its own inbox. Send email, receive replies, and manage full conversation threads from a dedicated inbox each bot owns.
One command
Add the Gork MCP server with the command or config below, then restart Hermes Agent. 13 email tools appear, each call scoped to the inbox you connect. The same MCP server serves CLI agents, editors, and the Gork API.
Run directly in your terminal to install the MCP tool.
hermes mcp add gork -- npx -y -p @gork/sdk gork-mcp --api-key=$GORK_API_KEY
One prompt away
Give Hermes this instruction to test inbox provisioning and verification code listening. Copy it, paste it into Hermes Agent — it calls the tools itself.
Paste into Hermes Agent — no code, no config
Why your Hermes Agent agent needs its own inbox
One address per bot
Not one connection shared across the fleet. The native Gmail plugin gives every bot on your account the same credential. Gork Mail gives each bot a real address it owns.
Real inbound
The Gmail plugin lets your bot read your inbox. Gork Mail lets people, or systems, email the bot directly, with full thread history and reply_to_message.
Scoped blast radius
One flagged send scopes to one bot's address, not your entire Gmail reputation.
