MachineMail
MachineMail is an email API for AI agents that gives each agent its own inbox, tags every incoming message with a trust level, and lets agents read and wait on mail through an MCP server or webhooks.
Why it matters
For developers whose agents need to sign up for services, catch one-time codes or handle email intake. It aims to stop phishing and hidden prompt-injection text in emails from steering the agent.
Highlights
- Unlimited inboxes on every plan, created by API or automatically through a catch-all custom domain, with optional expiry for throwaway addresses.
- Each inbound message gets a trust report built from SPF, DKIM and DMARC, allow and block lists, prior correspondence, link and attachment checks and a classifier, and one of five levels from verified to quarantined.
- Hidden instructions are stripped from mail before the agent reads it, according to the site.unverified
- A Streamable HTTP MCP server works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other clients, including a wait_for_message call that holds open for up to a minute.
- Signed webhooks are retried for five days and can be replayed from the dashboard.

Worth knowing: Agents can register themselves and get a sandbox inbox before you claim them with a six-digit code, so check what your agent is allowed to sign up for. All mail passes through MachineMail's servers.
