Capability

This skill gives AI agents a consistent way to discover Assistant Mail endpoint details and directly fetch mailbox/message data through MCP.

Critical Access Model

• Knowing an email address like [e-mail] does not grant mailbox access.
• Backend mail APIs are keyed by mailboxId (UUID path parameter), not by mailbox email address.
• Mailbox operations are authorized by account ownership (mailbox.accountId === auth.accountId).

What this means for agents:

• The mailbox email address is a routing address, not an authentication secret.
• Your client must call mailbox routes with the correct mailboxId.
• A valid API key or Cognito JWT is still required.

Agent Bootstrap (Required)

1. Human owner registers or signs in on assistant-mail.ai (Free: 1 mailbox, 25 emails/day). Docs
2. Human owner creates an API key with POST /v1/api-keys.
3. Human owner shares the returned amk_... key securely with the agent runtime.
4. Agent lists mailboxes via GET /v1/mailboxes and stores the target mailboxId.
5. Agent uses that mailboxId for send/list/get/usage routes.

Notes:

• API keys are only shown once at creation.
• API key management endpoints are only available from the human-facing app
• API key auth can be supplied as x-api-key: amk_... or Authorization: Bearer amk_....
• Outbound send is gated by the recipient allowlist. On paid plans, recipients must confirm a consent invite before the agent can send.
• Paid plans: Upgrade in-app only (not Payment Links).
