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 terminal tool.
• 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](references/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](https://agentmail.md): hosted copy.
• [AgentMail](https://agentmail.to): product landing page.
• [Console](https://console.agentmail.to): API keys and account management.
• [Docs](https://docs.agentmail.to): full product documentation.
• [signup.md](references/signup.md): self-signup and OTP verification.
• [core.md](references/core.md): inboxes, messages, threads, labels, attachments.
• [webhooks.md](references/webhooks.md): events to a public HTTPS server.
• [websockets.md](references/websockets.md): events to a local agent process.
• [mcp.md](references/mcp.md): MCP integration.

Procedure

1. Install agentmail-cli@latest and verify agentmail inboxes list --format json.

2. If no API key is available, complete [signup.md](references/signup.md).

3. Use [core.md](references/core.md) for inbox, send, read, reply, forward,

label, thread, and attachment flows.

4. Add [webhooks.md](references/webhooks.md) or

[websockets.md](references/websockets.md) only when polling is not enough.

Pitfalls

• Prefer AGENTMAIL_API_KEY over --api-key.
• Never expose AGENTMAIL_API_KEY in prompts, logs, URLs, or committed files.
• Use stable client_id values for retried create operations.
• Prefer extracted_text or extracted_html for LLM input when present.
• React to message.received, not messages the agent sent.
