Email tools over MCP against inboxes you already own

Inbox Triage exposes list, read, draft, and approve-in-chat send tools over the Model Context Protocol against mailboxes you already own: Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, iCloud, and IMAP. Billing is per connected inbox, not per seat.

HTTPS MCP at /mcp · OAuth 2.1 Connect or bearer API key · /llms.txt for discovery

Public MCP URL

Add https://getinboxtriage.com/mcp as a connector in your client and sign in with OAuth 2.1 Connect. Clients without Connect can use a bearer API key from Account.

Tool surface

Core: list_inboxes, list_folders, sync_inbox, list_messages, get_message, create_draft, send_draft, trash_message. Connection: propose_connection, add_inbox, start_google_oauth, start_microsoft_oauth, start_imap_secret_capture, get_connection_status. On IMAP, iCloud, and Google, the agent drafts, you approve in chat, and only then does it send. Microsoft stays draft-only.

Your API key is not your mail password

Agents authenticate with OAuth 2.1 Connect or a bearer API key. Google/Microsoft tokens and IMAP passwords live in a separate encrypted vault, reachable only through the connect link you open yourself.

Plans and fair use

Machine-readable limits: /pricing.json. The limit that bites is connected inboxes: 5 on Pro, 1 on the trial.

Discovery

/llms.txt and /capabilities.json for machines. Agent setup guide for call order.

What the website is for

Approving billing, opening sign-in links and masked password forms, and revoking or repairing connections. It is not a mail client.

FAQ

Can an agent read a mail credential through a tool?

No. Connection tools return a link for you to open. No tool accepts a password, app password, or OAuth code as an argument.

Is there a send tool?

Yes. The agent calls create_draft, shows you the full message, and calls send_draft only after you approve in chat. This works on IMAP, iCloud, and Google (via users.drafts.send) once sendEnabled is on; it is off by default. Microsoft stays draft-only.

Where is the full tool schema?

The agent setup guide at /docs/agents walks through tools in call order.
