Mailsnail
Open-source, provider-agnostic physical mail for AI agents.
Agents have every channel except one. They can email, text, call, and post to every feed — but until now, putting a real, postmarked envelope in a mailbox meant a human signing up for a print-provider account, provisioning API keys, and wiring billing. Mailsnail closes that gap:
- Nothing to install. Add one URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and sign in. Pay for one letter by card or fund a balance, priced at our cost: from $1.21 first-class and $8.61 certified, no subscription. Agents that can mint a Stripe Shared Payment Token can also pay per piece with no account, over the Machine Payments Protocol (HTTP 402).
- No lock-in, ever. The provider layer is open and swappable: bring your own Click2Mail or Lob account, self-host the whole gateway, or chain providers for failover. The managed service is a convenience, not a cage.
- Built for compliance mail. Certified letters with
extra_service: "certified"— the mail that legally *must* be physical (preliminary lien notices, legal notices) and must not miss its deadline because one print API had a bad day.
claude mcp add -t http mailsnail https://api.mailsnail.dev/mcp
then /mcp → mailsnail → Authenticate, and: "Mail a thank-you letter to my aunt."
In Claude Desktop or ChatGPT, add https://api.mailsnail.dev/mcp as a custom connector. Steps for every app: mailsnail.dev/setup. Running your own Click2Mail or Lob account instead? See Ways to run it.
Hosted connector and plugins
The quickest start needs no install. Add https://api.mailsnail.dev/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client that supports remote servers, then sign in. Each app's setup steps are at mailsnail.dev/setup.
plugins/mailsnail packages that connector with skills for sending letters, sending certified mail and tracking mail. It works in Claude (chat, Cowork and Claude Code) and in Cursor. To install it in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add iancollins27/mailsnail
/plugin install mailsnail@mailsnail
Packages
| Package | What it is |
|---|---|
mailsnail | MCP server — 11 tools (doctor, verify_address, preview_letter, send_letter, send_postcard, get_balance, top_up, get_letter, get_postcard, list_letters, cancel_letter) over any provider below. Works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenAI Agents SDK. |
@mailsnail/core | Provider-agnostic core: adapters (Click2Mail, Lob, any Mailsnail gateway), multi-provider failover router, request validation. Zero dependencies. |
@mailsnail/gateway | Self-hostable REST API: BYO provider credentials, body_text→PDF rendering, proofs, invocation logging. The managed service at api.mailsnail.dev runs the same wire protocol. |
spec/ | The provider-neutral mail-piece schema + the failover-safety contract. Implement it and anything — including a print shop — becomes a Mailsnail-compatible node. |
Ways to run it
| Mode | Credentials | Paying | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
hosted connector (api.mailsnail.dev/mcp) | none; you sign in | you, per letter by card or from a balance | people in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor; zero-setup |
| managed (stdio default) | none | agent, per piece (Stripe SPT) | agents that can mint an SPT |
| gateway | your own, on your server | your provider account | teams; PII stays in your infra |
| click2mail / lob (BYOK) | yours, local env | your provider account | direct control, one provider |
| failover chain | yours, per provider | your provider accounts | mail that must not miss deadlines |
Failover is deliberately conservative: a send moves to the next provider only when the failed provider guarantees nothing entered production and no money moved (safeToRetry — see the spec). A duplicate certified letter is worse than an error.
Running behind an egress proxy or allowlist
Sandboxed agents — CI runners, enterprise agent platforms, hosted agent sessions — usually sit behind an egress allowlist, and that is the environment managed mode is *for*. Two minutes of setup:
npx mailsnail doctor # says exactly what it can and can't reach, and why. Free; never mails.
Allow this host:
| Mode | Host to permit | Port |
|---|---|---|
| managed (default) | api.mailsnail.dev | 443 (TCP / HTTPS CONNECT) |
| self-hosted gateway | whatever MAIL_API_BASE_URL points at | its port |
| click2mail (BYOK) | rest.click2mail.com | 443 |
| lob (BYOK) | api.lob.com | 443 |
Allowlist by hostname, not IP: the managed gateway runs on managed infrastructure and its addresses change without notice. If your policy is IP-only, self-host @mailsnail/gateway on an address you control — that escape hatch is the whole point of the open provider layer.
Through an HTTP proxy. Node's fetch ignores HTTPS_PROXY unless you tell it not to, so an allowlisted gateway can still time out silently. Either:
export NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 # Node >= 22.21
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.example:8080
or install undici alongside mailsnail (npm i undici) and Mailsnail routes through HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/ALL_PROXY itself, honoring NO_PROXY. mailsnail doctor tells you which of these is actually in effect.
TLS-inspecting proxy? Point NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS at your organization's CA bundle.
When it's blocked anyway, the failure says so instead of guessing: transport errors carry a code of unreachable, egress_blocked, or tls_untrusted, plus the exact host:port to permit. Any of those codes means the request never reached the backend — nothing mailed, nothing was charged, and the fix is network policy, not your account.
Safety
- Dry-run by default everywhere; live mail requires an explicit
MAIL_MCP_ALLOW_LIVE=1. - Per-session spend caps in the MCP server; auto-refund in managed mode when a paid piece fails to mail.
preview_letterreturns a proof PDF and exact price before anything is charged — show it to your user first.- Don't use this for spam, harassment, or fraud. Provider terms and USPS regulations apply; managed mode enforces its own abuse screening.
Why open source
You're letting software put paper in mailboxes and spend money doing it. Read the code. Run it yourself with your own provider account for free. Use managed mode when you'd rather not hold credentials at all. If we ever disappoint you, MAIL_PROVIDER=click2mail and your mail keeps moving — that's the deal, and it's enforceable because this repo exists.
Status
Early. US-only today. Letters, certified letters, and postcards. The managed API, MCP server, self-host gateway, and Click2Mail/Lob adapters are live; additional adapters (PostGrid, Stannp) are next — CONTRIBUTING.md has the adapter guide if you want one sooner.
