Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a Postbag MCP key (create it on the maker’s site) · Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

  1. Install Node.js

    One time only; it works for every server that needs Node.js

    Open the Node.js download page ↗

  2. Sign up and create a Postbag MCP key

    Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. Check the maker’s site for pricing and free plans.

    Open the Postbag MCP site ↗

  3. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

    SettingsDeveloperEdit Config

  4. Paste these settings and save the file

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "postbag": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [

          ],
          "env": {
            "POSTBAG_API_KEY": "your-value",
            "POSTBAG_API_URL": "your-value"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Paste the key only into the app’s field, never into a chat or to anyone

  5. Quit Claude and open it again

  6. Try it

    Use Postbag MCP and tell me what you can do for me, then show me one thing

    ✓ If Claude says it is using Postbag MCP or shows a Postbag MCP tool in the answer, you are connected

Common questions

Is Postbag MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: POSTBAG_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 2 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Postbag

A form backend that routes. Point any HTML form at a Postbag endpoint and it lands in your inbox — then goes wherever it should: email, Telegram, a webhook, a partner, your CRM. Built for people who run many sites, and for the AI agents that build them.

<form action="https://api.postbag.dev/s/fm_8f3kq2" method="POST">

Send

That's the whole integration for one form. Everything else — grouping forty forms into one stream, mapping their different fields onto one shape, sending that shape to a partner between two dates, a daily digest, never losing a submission — is there when you need it and invisible when you don't.

New here (human or AI agent)? Read [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md) first.

Why it exists

Every website has forms. Every form needs somewhere to go. Formspree and friends solve "somewhere" for one site; they fall over when you have fifteen sites feeding one partner with fifteen slightly different forms. Postbag is the source of truth for what each form collects, what each downstream system receives, and the versioned contract between them.

The one idea

The database makes it correct; events make it fast.

A submission is accepted the instant it is a row. Delivery is a durable outbox that a worker drains with retries. Realtime nudges are an accelerator, never a transport. If every event stream in the system died, every submission would still arrive — late, never lost. (Inherited from the lead pipeline this generalises; see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.)
