# AgentMail MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> AgentMail gives your AI agents a dedicated inbox to read, send, and reply to messages natively. Instead of juggling complex API integrations for every conversation, your agent gets a functional email account. It can handle threads, process attachments, and manage multiple distinct inboxes for different tasks like support, sales, or personal follow-ups.

## Description

Imagine your AI agent actually having a seat at the table. Instead of you constantly copy-pasting emails into a chat window or trying to glue together messy webhooks, AgentMail gives your agent its own functional inbox. It can see the history of a conversation, grab a PDF attached to a message, and send a follow-up that actually feels like it belongs in the thread. You can spin up new addresses for different projects, like a dedicated support line or a sales outreach handle, and let the agent manage them independently. It's a way to move from "AI that talks about emails" to "AI that actually handles your correspondence." You'll find it's much easier to manage when you're using the Vinkius catalog to keep your tools organized. It handles the heavy lifting of thread preservation and message metadata so you can focus on what the agent is actually supposed to accomplish.

## Tools

### create_inbox
Generate a new email address for an agent, with the option to link a custom domain. This is how you scale different agent identities.

### delete_inbox
Remove an inbox and all its associated emails from your account permanently. Use this to clean up old agent accounts.

### list_threads
View all active conversation threads within a specific inbox to see recent previews. This helps the agent identify which conversations need attention.

### get_thread

### get_attachment
Download and read files attached to messages, which might be encoded in base64. This lets your agent process PDFs or images directly.

### reply_to_message

### forward_message
Forward an email to a new recipient with the option to add extra text. This is perfect for escalating hot leads to humans.

### update_message
Modify message metadata, such as marking a specific email as read. This helps your agent track which items it has already processed.

### list_inboxes
Get a list of all email addresses and IDs assigned to your API key. This lets you see what accounts your agent can access.

### get_inbox
Fetch the specific details and status of a single inbox by its unique ID. Use this to check the status of a specific account.

## Capabilities

### Create dedicated email addresses
Spin up new inboxes on the fly for different agent tasks or projects.

### Read full conversation histories
Let your agent see the entire history of a thread to maintain context.

### Send new emails and replies
Your agent can send brand new messages or reply to existing threads natively.

### Extract and process attachments
Automatically download and read files attached to incoming emails.

### Update message statuses
Let your agent mark messages as read or update other metadata automatically.

## Use Cases

### Support Triage
A customer sends a ticket with a screenshot. The agent uses get_attachment to see the error and reply_to_message to ask for more details.

### Sales Outreach
An agent uses create_inbox to set up a new lead handle, then uses send_message to start a sequence.

### Thread Monitoring
A user asks the agent to "summarize my recent emails." The agent uses list_threads and get_thread to digest the last few days.

### Lead Forwarding
An agent detects a hot lead and uses forward_message to send the details to a human sales rep.

## Benefits
