generate_inboxGenerate a disposable email inbox for testing signups, OTP verification, magic links, and password resets. Instant and local — no network request. Use the returned address wherever an email is required, then call wait_for_email to read what arrives. Free tier: 30-minute retention, no signup needed.wait_for_emailWait for an email to arrive in a ZeroDrop inbox and return it with the OTP and magic link already extracted — no parsing needed. Blocks until an email matching the filters arrives or the timeout is reached. Use after triggering a signup, login, or password-reset flow.check_inboxCheck a ZeroDrop inbox right now without waiting. Returns the most recent emails with OTPs and magic links already extracted, or an empty list if nothing has arrived yet.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
