## Documentation & README

# assistantmail-mcp

MCP server for [AssistantMail](https://assistant-mail.ai) — give AI agents a managed mailbox to send and receive email.

Built for personal and small-team OpenClaw / Hermes operators who want agent email with allowlist, consent, retention, and spend caps you control. Listed on ClawHub for easy install — not an official OpenClaw endorsement.

## OpenClaw / ClawHub

```bash
openclaw skills install @assistantmail/assistant-mail
```

Then configure your MCP client to run this server and set `ASSISTANT_MAIL_API_KEY` (Claude Desktop and Cursor examples below). Skill: [assistant-mail on ClawHub](https://clawhub.ai/assistantmail/skills/assistant-mail). Same MCP works with Hermes.

## Installation

```bash
npx -y @assistantmail/assistantmail-mcp
```

Node 24+.

### Claude Desktop

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "assistantmail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@assistantmail/assistantmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ASSISTANT_MAIL_API_KEY": "amk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor / VS Code (`.cursor/mcp.json` or `.vscode/mcp.json`)

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "assistantmail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@assistantmail/assistantmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ASSISTANT_MAIL_API_KEY": "amk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Prerequisites

1. Create a free account via the [Get Free](https://app.assistant-mail.ai/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=clawhub_readme_amplify) link above (1 agent, 25/day; current limits: [Docs](https://assistant-mail.ai/docs)).
2. Go to **API Keys** and create a key (`amk_...`). Copy it immediately — it is only shown once.
3. Set `ASSISTANT_MAIL_API_KEY`; call `assistantmail_list_mailboxes` to get your `mailboxId` UUID. Mail API routes use that UUID, not an email address.

Paid plans: upgrade in-app only (not Payment Links). Use **Upgrade** in the AssistantMail app — checkout is not sold via Stripe Payment Links. Docs: [assistant-mail.ai/docs](https://assistant-mail.ai/docs)
