Pombus

Pombus gives an AI assistant its own email mailbox, letting it read, draft, send and triage mail through a local MCP process.

What you can do

• Read mail in the agent's Pombus mailbox
• Draft and send messages
• Triage and organize incoming mail
• The manifest lists no individual tools, so exact operations depend on the API key's scope

When to use it

Useful when you want an assistant to handle email on its own address — reading incoming messages, preparing drafts, sending replies and sorting the inbox — rather than only summarizing mail you paste in.

Requirements

Runs locally over stdio, started with npx from the npm package pombus, so Node.js is needed. Requires a Pombus API key supplied in the POMBUS_API_KEY environment variable; the key's scope determines which tools the agent can see. Desktop only.
