Overview

AI-generated overview

MailKite's hosted MCP server that lets an assistant send email, manage domains, search docs, and handle inbound mail as webhooks or agent inboxes.

What you can do
  • Send email and manage sending domains through MailKite
  • Receive inbound mail as webhooks: verify, parse, route and store messages
  • Give an agent its own inbox, with an agent route action that answers, files or escalates
  • Search the MailKite documentation
  • Call any MailKite API method, since tools are generated one per API method
When to use it
Useful when a product or agent workflow needs real email: transactional sending over a verified domain, inbound mail turned into structured webhooks, or an agent that reads and replies to its own inbox.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.mailkite.dev with OAuth sign-in through the browser. A MailKite account and verified domain are needed for sending. The README also documents a local npm alternative using a MAILKITE_API_KEY environment variable.
Before you install
The server can send mail and change domain settings, so actions have real external effects. The local install path requires a MailKite API key in the environment; the hosted path uses OAuth instead. Inbound messages and routing rules are handled by MailKite's service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Inbound Email in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/dev.mailkite%2Finbound-email/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

[npm] [MailKite MCP server – quality and maintenance score on Glama]

Read-only mirror. This repo is a generated, release-time mirror of the MailKite monorepo (the private source of truth) — development doesn't happen here. Install from npm and open issues against the MailKite docs.

Install

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "mailkite": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@mailkite/mcp"],      "env": { "MAILKITE_API_KEY": "mk_live_…" }    }  }}

Tools

One tool per MailKite API method, generated from the shared contract. Full list + schemas: https://mailkite.dev/docs/libraries#mcp.

Use it from an AI agent — MCP + Agent connectors

MailKite speaks the Model Context Protocol: every API method is a tool your AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, …) can call — send mail, manage domains, search the docs, and give an agent its own inbox. Full guide: https://mailkite.dev/docs/ai-agents.

Hosted (recommended) — one-click OAuth, no key to copy:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http mailkite https://mcp.mailkite.dev/mcp

In Claude Code you can also install the plugin:

text
/plugin marketplace add mailkite/claude-code/plugin install mailkite@mailkite

Any chat/UI agent: "Add the MCP server at https://mcp.mailkite.dev/mcp and authenticate in the browser when prompted."

Local (static key, offline / CI):

json
{ "mcpServers": { "mailkite": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mailkite/mcp"], "env": { "MAILKITE_API_KEY": "mk_live_…" } } } }

Give an agent its own inbox. Route inbound mail to a built-in inbox agent (the agent route action) and it answers, files, or escalates on its own — see https://mailkite.dev/docs/ai-agents.
