Set up Hermes

Give your Hermes agent the ability to make phone calls through Vocaleo.

Install the Vocaleo skill

On the computer that runs Hermes, run this command:

If you use a named Hermes profile, select that profile with --profile <name> before skills install.

Review the skill and the installer scan before you accept installation. Do not bypass a blocked scan.

If Hermes cannot install a URL, follow the manual installation steps in the Hermes skill guide.

Read the Vocaleo skill. The skill uses Vocaleo's public API and needs no MCP connection.

Start a new conversation with your agent after installation. Send this message:

Your agent needs an HTTP tool to contact Vocaleo and a secret store that retains your key between sessions.

Give your agent your phone number when it asks. Reply with the verification code from Vocaleo.

Your agent saves the account key securely. Do not paste the key into chat.

After setup, tell your agent whom to call and what to ask. Installation does not place a call.

If your agent cannot keep credentials securely, stop setup until you configure its secret store.

Your agent checks the call status and reports the outcome and charge.

If the conversation stops, ask your agent to resume the last Vocaleo call. It uses the saved call reference.

Automatic notices require background tasks on your agent host. The skill alone cannot wake an idle agent.
