Frequently asked questions about the Lob MCP Server
What types of physical mail can I send with Lob?
Lob supports three main mail types: Letters (formal correspondence, invoices, notifications with customizable color, double-sided printing), Postcards (marketing campaigns, invitations, reminders in 4x6, 6x9, or 6x11 sizes), and Checks (vendor payments, payroll, refunds, rebates with customizable memo lines and company logos). All mail is printed and mailed within 24 hours via USPS.
How does Lob address verification work?
Lob's address verification validates and standardizes addresses using USPS data. It corrects formatting, adds missing ZIP+4 codes, fixes typos, and confirms deliverability. The service returns a deliverability status: 'deliverable' (valid and deliverable), 'undeliverable' (cannot be delivered), or 'deliverable_unnecessary' (valid but additional info not needed). This reduces returned mail by up to 5% and ensures your mailings reach the correct destination.
Can I use HTML templates for personalized mailings?
Yes! Lob supports HTML templates with merge variables using the Handlebars templating engine. Create a template with placeholders like {{name}}, {{order_number}}, {{delivery_date}}, then pass actual values when creating letters or postcards. This enables personalized, scalable direct mail campaigns. Templates are reusable and can be referenced by ID when creating mailings. You can also embed CSS styling for professional-looking mail designs.
How long does it take for mail to be delivered?
Lob prints and mails all items within 24 hours of creation. Delivery time depends on the mail type selected: USPS First Class Mail typically delivers in 2-5 business days, while USPS Standard Mail takes 3-7 business days. You receive a tracking number for each piece of mail to monitor delivery status. Lob also provides expected delivery dates in API responses for planning purposes.
