Agent Email Overview
Agent Email connects MCP-compatible agents to Microsoft 365/Outlook and Gmail mailboxes through a local stdio server. It supports email search and reading, thread retrieval, drafts, replies, sending, folders, labels, attachments, scheduling, and inbox rules. Sending is protected by an explicit recipient allowlist, while observation-only deployments can expose read-focused tools through a scope profile. Reach for it when an agent needs mailbox access without each workflow implementing provider-specific email APIs.
Primary Use Cases for Agent Email:
- Search a mailbox for messages matching a full-text query
- Draft threaded replies without sending them
- Send approved messages to allowlisted recipients
- Download email attachments into a sandboxed directory
