Give your own agent every inbox
Frameworks that speak MCP connect to the same server as Claude and Cursor. Everything else uses the REST API with a key you can scope to specific mailboxes.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer aik_..." \
"https://emailgents.com/api/public/v1/messages?q=invoice&unread=true&limit=10"server: https://emailgents.com/mcp
Setup
Sign in happens in the browser once; the client remembers it.
- 01Connect your mailboxes in EmailgentsSign up at emailgents.com and add your accounts under Mailboxes.
- 02Pick MCP or RESTMCP SDKs connect to https://emailgents.com/mcp with OAuth. For plain HTTP, create a key under Agents; keys start with aik_ and can be limited to chosen mailboxes and to read-only.
- 03Make a callSearch with GET /api/public/v1/messages?q=invoice&unread=true and follow the message id to the body, thread or attachments.
- 04Watch the logEvery call made with the key appears on your Activity page with the actor, tool and parameters.
Things to ask
- “Nightly job: collect every invoice attachment from all accounts into cloud storage.”
- “Support bot: find the customer's previous conversations before answering a ticket.”
- “Personal agent: morning digest of what arrived overnight across every inbox.”
Custom agents questions
Where is the API documented?
See the REST API reference for endpoints, parameters, pagination cursors, coverage metadata and error codes.
Which inboxes will it see?
Every mailbox you have connected in Emailgents: Gmail and Google Workspace, Outlook and Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail, AOL, Zoho, GMX, WEB.DE and any IMAP server. Add or remove mailboxes in Emailgents and the agent sees the change on its next call.
Can it read several accounts at once?
Yes. search_messages and inbox_overview cover every connected mailbox by default. Pass account_ids to narrow to one; each result carries its account so the agent can tell them apart.
Can it send, delete or move my mail?
No. The tool set is read-only apart from set_flags, which toggles read and starred. An instruction hidden inside an email cannot make the agent send anything on your behalf, and every call is listed on your Activity page.
