Give Hermes Agent a NZ number, SMS and email

Short answer

Run hermes mcp add agentline --url https://agentline.nz/mcp --auth oauth, then hermes mcp login agentline to sign in to Agentline NZ, or add an agentline entry under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml. Hermes Agent can then text people from your New Zealand 028 number, read their replies, and send and receive email from your @agentline.nz inbox.

Before you start

An Agentline NZ account. Start free with an email inbox (no card), or take a 7-day trial of Starter or Pro to get a number.
Your 028 number is set up within a few days of signup. Your email inbox works straight away.
Hermes Agent installed. It's open source from Nous Research.

Steps

Add the server. Run:

hermes mcp add agentline --url https://agentline.nz/mcp --auth oauth

Sign in. Run hermes mcp login agentline and sign in with your Agentline NZ email link.
Test the connection. Run hermes mcp test agentline. In a running session, use /reload-mcp to pick up the change.

Config file version

In ~/.hermes/config.yaml, with OAuth:

mcp_servers:
  agentline:
    url: "https://agentline.nz/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Or with an API key from Dashboard → API keys, stored in ~/.hermes/.env as AGENTLINE_KEY:

mcp_servers:
  agentline:
    url: "https://agentline.nz/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer ${AGENTLINE_KEY}"

Try it

Once it's connected, ask your assistant:

"Text my mobile when the overnight job finishes."
"Check my Agentline NZ inbox and draft replies to anything that needs one."

Good to know

Hermes uses Streamable HTTP by default for url servers, which is what Agentline NZ uses.
Keep keys in ~/.hermes/.env, not in config.yaml.
Standard NZ mobile numbers only (020–029). No landlines, short codes, premium or international numbers.
