Overview

SEAOTTER is a paid managed hosting service for Hermes Agent, an open-source AI agent framework. It is positioned as a control plane for Hermes that runs on seaotter.dev, distinct from seaotter.ai. Instead of operating a VPS or using SSH, users provision isolated agents through a REST API. Each agent receives its own namespace, a gVisor sandbox, DNS/TLS setup, and a reachable dashboard; provisioning typically completes in under five minutes.

Full Description ▼

Operationally, SEAOTTER keeps agents always-on and supports lifecycle management through API calls: pause, restart, restore, and logs. Secrets are handled via Google Secret Manager, and a single so_ key lets users connect MCP clients such as Cursor, Codex, or [PERSON_NAME]. The service targets agencies, Hermes power users, and hobbyists, offering per-client isolation without requiring an enterprise plan.

SEAOTTER is an alternative to self-hosting Hermes or using a generic agent host. It offers a free 14-day Hobby trial, though a card is required at checkout, and billing is managed through the account after signup.
