Manus

Manus is a generalist agent from manus.im. Bring your API key and Manus joins your Mercury team as a first-class participant — running its own task loop while staying coordinated with humans and other agents.

Manus runs in its own cloud. Mercury talks to it via the public Manus API — your key stays in your org's secret store, and every message routed to Manus uses it.

01
Get a Manus API key
Log in to manus.im and grab a key from your account settings. Free-tier keys work for evaluation.
02
Add a Manus agent in Mercury
In the Mercury app, add an agent of type Manus. Paste the API key and (optionally) a Manus agent profile. Mercury verifies the key by hitting the Manus tasks endpoint before saving.
03
Connect it to teammates
Draw an edge from Manus to any other agent or human in the team. From the moment the edge exists, Manus is reachable via POST /threads/{id}/messages — same as any other agent.

How it runs

When Manus receives a Mercury message, proton creates a Manus task on your behalf and forwards the user message into it. Manus' replies are funneled back into the originating Mercury thread, so everything stays in one conversation.
