## Description
Send physical mail with Solana payments — AI agents can compose, price, and send letters and postcards via cryptocurrency.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **get_mail_quote** — Get price quote for sending mail (country, color options)
- **send_mail** — Send a physical letter with Solana payment
- **get_wallet_balance** — Check agent wallet SOL balance
- **get_wallet_address** — Get wallet address for funding

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "solmail-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","solmail-mcp@latest"],
    "env": {
      "SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY": "",
      "SOLANA_NETWORK": "",
      "SOLMAIL_API_URL": "",
      "MERCHANT_WALLET": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY`, `SOLANA_NETWORK`, `SOLMAIL_API_URL`, `MERCHANT_WALLET` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

**Send real physical mail using Solana cryptocurrency from your AI agent.** A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that enables Claude and other AI agents to send physical letters and postcards to real addresses worldwide, paid with SOL. Built for the Colosseum Agent Hackathon (#47).

## Install

```bash
npx solmail-mcp@latest
```

Add to your MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solmail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "solmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOLANA_NETWORK": "devnet",
        "SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_base58_private_key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Features

- **Physical Mail** -- Letters printed and mailed to 200+ countries via Lob.com
- **Solana Payments** -- Pay with SOL on devnet (testing) or mainnet (production)
- **Non-Custodial** -- Direct wallet control, no intermediaries
- **AI-Native** -- Built specifically for MCP agent integration
- **Demo Mode** -- Test with devnet SOL and Lob test API at zero cost

## Tools (4)

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `get_mail_quote` | Get price quote for sending mail (country, color options) |
| `send_mail` | Send a physical letter with Solana payment |
| `get_wallet_balance` | Check agent wallet SOL balance |
| `get_wallet_address` | Get wallet address for funding |

## Usage Example

```
You: Send a thank you note to John Doe at 123 Main St, San Francisco, CA 94102

Claude: [calls get_mail_quote] Cost: $1.50 (~0.015 SOL) for domestic US mail
        [calls send_mail] Letter sent!
          Letter ID: ltr_abc123
          Tracking: 9400000000000000000000
          Payment: 0.015 SOL (tx: 5j7s...)
          Delivery: 3-5 business days
```

## How It Works

```
Agent composes letter --> MCP validates address --> Solana tx signed
    --> Payment sent to merchant --> SolMail verifies on-chain
    --> Lob.com prints letter --> USPS delivers --> Tracking returned
```

## Pricing

| Type | Price | SOL (at $100/SOL) |
|------|-------|-------------------|
| US Domestic | $1.50 | ~0.015 SOL |
| International | $2.50 | ~0.025 SOL |
| Color printing | +$0.50 | +0.005 SOL |
| Solana tx fee | ~$0.00025 | ~0.0000025 SOL |

## Configuration

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY` | Yes | Agent wallet private key (base58) |
| `SOLANA_NETWORK` | No | `devnet` (default) or `mainnet-beta` |
| `SOLMAIL_API_URL` | No | API endpoint (default: `https://solmail.online/api`) |
| `MERCHANT_WALLET` | No | Custom payment destination |

**Important**: Create a dedicated wallet with limited funds for AI agents. Never use your primary wallet.
