Overview

Hermes Agent is an autonomous AI agent framework designed for complex, multi-step task execution. By integrating BounceRaptor's MCP server, Hermes Agent can independently verify email addresses as part of autonomous data operations, list management, and email deliverability monitoring.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Get Your MCP Key

Navigate to Settings → MCP Keys in your BounceRaptor dashboard. Create a new key labeled "Hermes Agent" and copy it.

Step 2: Register BounceRaptor as an MCP Tool

Add BounceRaptor to your Hermes Agent tool registry by updating the MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounceraptor": {
      "serverUrl": "https://bounceraptor.com/api/mcp/verify-email/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Define an Agent Task

Create a Hermes Agent task definition that uses BounceRaptor for email verification:

{
  "agent": "email_list_cleaner",
  "description": "Clean and verify a list of email addresses",
  "tools": ["bounceraptor.verify-email", "bounceraptor.verify-batch"],
  "task": "Verify the provided email list. For each email, return the verification status. Flag invalid and catch-all addresses for manual review.",
  "input_schema": {
    "emails": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" } }
  }
}
