Hermes Agent
An open-source agent on your own machine, working on your project. You approve the send.
Hermes Agent, from Nous Research, runs on your computer and learns from what you ask it. Add Instasent's MCP server to its config and its tools show up like any other: it reads your audience, campaigns and results, writes the report or the segment you asked for, and the same agent answers from Telegram, Discord or WhatsApp when you are away from the terminal. Sending waits for you.

Connect Hermes Agent to your project
The fast way. Paste this prompt into Hermes Agent and it does the three steps for you.
Or do it by hand:
- 1
Add the server
In ~/.hermes/config.yaml, add Instasent under mcp_servers with the server address (HTTP transport), or pick it from the catalog with hermes mcp. Restart Hermes or run /reload-mcp.
- 2
Give it the token
Hermes calls the server with the token Instasent gives you for the project: paste it into the Authorization header. Its tools register as mcp_instasent_…, and you can limit which ones Hermes sees.
- 3
Check it
On startup Hermes lists the MCP servers it registered. Ask it how many contacts you can reach by SMS. If the figure matches your project, you are connected.
What to ask Hermes Agent
- Review last quarter's results and write a quarterly-review.md with findings and next steps.
- Every Monday, tell me on Telegram how many contacts came in this week and where they came from.
- Who has not bought anything in 90 days? Save them as a segment.
- Draft a short SMS for that segment with a reason to come back, in the brand's voice.
What Hermes Agent will not do on its own
- It reads everything.
- Audience, campaigns, flows and results of the project you connect.
- It creates and leaves it ready.
- Segments, campaign drafts and files in your folder, prepared for you to review.
- It never sends.
- Sending waits for your approval, every time. No agent sends on its own.
