Mail-in-a-Box Email Instance Management for Admins

This Connector changes that by putting the power of the Mail-in-a-Box REST API into your chat interface. You can just tell your agent to create a new mailbox or update a password, and it handles the backend calls for you. You get to stay in your flow while the agent handles the heavy lifting of instance administration.

Before you connect

Questions about Mail-in-a-Box.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can I use Mail-in-a-Box MCP to create new email accounts?

Yes, you can use it to create new mailboxes for your team by providing the email address and password in plain text.

Does Mail-in-a-Box MCP work with my existing private server?

Yes, it connects directly to your existing Mail-in-a-Box instance to manage your existing infrastructure.

How do I manage email aliases with this Connector?

You can create or update forwarding rules by telling your agent which email address should route to which destination.

Can I check my server's health using Mail-in-a-Box MCP?

Yes, it can pull real-time diagnostic data to show you if your mail services like DNS and SMTP are running correctly.

Does this Connector let me read my emails?

No, this Connector is designed for backend administration tasks like user management and system monitoring, not for reading personal messages.

Is it safe to use my admin password with this Connector?

For better security, it's recommended to use an API key from your Mail-in-a-Box dashboard rather than your primary admin password.

What format is required for the instance host?

Provide the full hostname without the 'https://' prefix, for example: box.yourdomain.com.

Can I add multiple forwarding targets to an alias?

Yes, when using the create_or_update_alias capability, provide a comma-separated list of emails in the forwards_to field.

Does this work with 2FA enabled accounts?

The current API implementation uses Basic Auth. If 2FA is enabled on your admin account, you may need to use an API key or a dedicated admin user without 2FA for the integration.
