AgentMail Skill
AgentMail gives an agent its own email inbox for sending mail, receiving replies, completing email OTP flows, and running inbound email loops. Use it for agent-owned inboxes, not a user's existing IMAP/SMTP mailbox.
Use the agentmail CLI first. Use MCP only when the harness expects MCP tools;
use REST only when the CLI is missing a required operation.
When to Use
- The agent needs an email address it owns.
- The task involves email OTP flows, replies, threads, labels, or attachments.
- The agent needs webhook or WebSocket delivery for inbound mail.
Prerequisites
- Run commands through the
terminaltool. - Install the CLI:
npm install -g agentmail-cli@latest
- Export an API key:
export AGENTMAIL_API_KEY="am_..."
No API key yet? Use signup.md.
How to Run
Use --format json whenever another command or script needs IDs.
agentmail inboxes list --format json
Quick Reference
- AgentMail agent reference: hosted copy.
- AgentMail: product landing page.
- Console: API keys and account management.
- Docs: full product documentation.
- signup.md: self-signup and OTP verification.
- core.md: inboxes, messages, threads, labels, attachments.
- webhooks.md: events to a public HTTPS server.
- websockets.md: events to a local agent process.
- mcp.md: MCP integration.
Procedure
- Install
agentmail-cli@latestand verifyagentmail inboxes list --format json. - If no API key is available, complete signup.md.
- Use core.md for inbox, send, read, reply, forward, label, thread, and attachment flows.
- Add webhooks.md or websockets.md only when polling is not enough.
Pitfalls
- Prefer
AGENTMAIL_API_KEYover--api-key. - Never expose
AGENTMAIL_API_KEYin prompts, logs, URLs, or committed files. - Use stable
client_idvalues for retried create operations. - Prefer
extracted_textorextracted_htmlfor LLM input when present. - React to
message.received, not messages the agent sent.
Verification
agentmail inboxes list --format json
