Quick start
Create an account, connect an inbox on the Inboxes page, add the MCP URL to your AI app, and ask it
to triage today's email.
1. Create your account
- Go to Pricing and choose Start free trial. No card is needed.
- Sign up with your email address or with Google.
- Open the confirmation email and click the link. You need a confirmed address before you can add inboxes or connect an AI app.
2. Connect an inbox
- Open Inboxes and find Add an inbox.
- Enter a label, like "Work Gmail", and the email address. We work out the mail service from the address.
- Choose Add inbox, then Connect. Sign in with Google or Microsoft, or enter an app password on the private form.
- Wait for the first sync. The page updates on its own when it finishes.
Details for each provider: Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, other mail.
3. Add Inbox Triage to your AI app
Copy the MCP URL, https://getinboxtriage.com/mcp, and add it to your AI app as a connector. Then sign in and choose
Allow. Steps for Claude,
Claude Code, and ChatGPT.
4. Try your first triage
In a new chat, ask:
- "Show me today's email and tell me what needs me."
- "Which newsletters do I never read?"
- "Draft a reply to the email from Dana. Don't send it."
More ideas: Starter prompts.
You can connect inboxes and your AI app in either order. If your AI app is connected first, it can walk you through adding an inbox and hand you the sign-in link.
