Email MCP server

Samva's hosted email MCP server gives your agent a real address at samva.email or on your own domain. It sends, reads the replies as threads, answers in the thread, and waits for a person where you say so.

A send-only email tool lets your agent talk and never listen. The reply lands in an inbox it cannot read, so the conversation ends after the first message.

## From the server to the first reply.

1. **Add the server.** Point your MCP client at https://mcp.samva.dev and connect your account.
2. **Pick a mailbox.** Your agent lists the mailboxes it can reach. An admin's connection can create a new one.
3. **Send.** The agent sends from the mailbox's address.
4. **Read the reply.** The answer arrives in the same thread, and your agent replies there.

## An inbox, not just a send button.

- **A real address**: The mailbox lives at samva.email under your organization's subdomain, or on a domain you verify.
- **Replies stay in the thread**: When your agent replies, Samva sets the recipients, the subject, and the threading headers.
- **Search what came in**: Your agent searches a mailbox by meaning and by keyword, or across every mailbox it can read.
- **The agent sets up your domain**: It adds the domain, reads the DNS records to publish, and checks that sending is ready.
- **A person decides what waits**: Decision rules hold the sends you choose for approval, and quarantined mail waits for a person to release or discard it.
- **A retry never sends twice**: Sends, replies, and forwards take an idempotency key, so repeating a call returns the same action.

## Common questions.

### Can my agent use my own domain?

Yes. Verify the domain and the mailbox can live on it. Without one, the mailbox lives at samva.email under your organization's subdomain.

### Does it connect to my Gmail or Outlook account?

No. Samva hosts the mailbox your agent uses. It does not connect to a Gmail or Outlook account.

### Which MCP clients work with it?

Any MCP client that supports OAuth. A client that cannot run OAuth can send an API key in a header instead.

### Do I have to run a server?

No. The server is hosted at mcp.samva.dev. You add that URL to your client and connect your account.

### Can my agent send without asking me?

You decide. Decision rules on each mailbox, key, and sender let a send go ahead or wait for a person. A held send comes back as waiting for approval and goes out only when someone approves it.

### Does email need a paid plan?

No. The free plan covers email.
