How it works

How do I set it up?

1. Add the connector in your AI app. In Claude, for example: Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste https://getinboxtriage.com/mcp, then sign in to Inbox Triage in the browser window that opens and choose Allow. Steps for ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, n8n and others are in Connect your AI app.
2. Confirm your email address. If you signed up with an email and password, click the link we email you. Until you do, Allow says "Confirm your email address first", and you cannot add inboxes or API keys. Signing up with Google confirms it for you. If the email is lost, send a new one from Settings. Once confirmed, connect from your AI app again.
3. Start free. You get 7 days and 3 inboxes with no card. When you want more, your AI app gives you the pricing link and you pay on our checkout page. The AI never sees your card.
4. Connect each inbox. Ask your AI app to connect an inbox and give it the address. It gives you a link. Open it in your browser and finish there: Google or Microsoft sign-in, or a masked form for iCloud, Yahoo, AOL, and other IMAP inboxes. Those need an app password from your account's security page, which you type into our form, not into chat. Links expire after 10 minutes; ask for a new one if yours does.
5. Ask for what you want. "What needs me today?", "Archive the shipping notices", "Draft a reply to Sam saying Tuesday works." Your AI reads the newest 300 or so messages in each folder, sorts and archives, writes drafts in your mailbox, and reports spam for you to approve.
6. Only if your app cannot sign in through a browser: open Settings, then Advanced, then Agent API keys, and choose Create API key. Confirm your email address first. The key is shown once. Trial accounts get 1 key, Pro gets 3. Anyone with the key can read and change your mail, so store it like a password.

What do I approve, and what does the AI do?
