AgentMail MCP Server

Connect AgentMail to any MCP-compatible AI client. Three setup options available.

Prerequisites

Get your API key from console.agentmail.to.

Option 1: Remote MCP (Simplest)

No installation required. Connect directly to the hosted MCP server.

      "url": "https://mcp.agentmail.to",
      "env": {
        "AGENTMAIL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Local npm Package

Run the MCP server locally via npx.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AgentMail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTMAIL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tool Selection

Load only specific tools with the

--tools

argument:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AgentMail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "agentmail-mcp",
        "--tools",
        "send_message,reply_to_message,list_inboxes"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AGENTMAIL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Local Python Package
