For developers: common questions

Is there an MCP server for email?

Yes. Inbox Triage is a remote MCP server at https://getinboxtriage.com/mcp for Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and IMAP inboxes. It uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1.

Which MCP transport does it use?

Streamable HTTP over HTTPS. There is no need to run anything locally.

Do I need an API key?

Not if your client supports OAuth 2.1 sign-in. API keys are for scripts and clients that cannot open a browser.

Is there a REST API?

Yes, under https://getinboxtriage.com/api, with a bearer API key. The API reference lists every route with curl, JavaScript, and Python examples.

Can an agent pass a mail password through a tool?

No. No tool accepts a password, app password, or OAuth code. Connect tools return a link that the person opens.
