Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Agent mail through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Agent mail MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Agent mail MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Agent mail account. It provides structured and secure access to your agent's dedicated inbox, so your agent can send emails, receive incoming messages, fetch specific conversations, and automate email-based workflows on your behalf. - Automated email sending: Instruct your agent to compose and send emails to any recipient, perfect for status updates, notifications, or outreach. - Message listing and inbox scanning: Let your agent quickly list all recent messages in the inbox to summarize, monitor, or trigger follow-up actions. - Targeted message retrieval: Have your agent fetch a specific message by ID, making it easy to pull full email content for context-aware decisions or replies. - Streamlined agent-to-agent communication: Enable your AI to directly interact with other agents or services via email, automating routine communication flows. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `AGENT_MAIL_CREATE_INBOX` | Create Inbox | Create a new AgentMail inbox via API. Returns the inbox_id and email address for sending/receiving messages. Use when provisioning new inboxes for agents or workflows. | | `AGENT_MAIL_GET_MESSAGE` | Get Message | Retrieve the complete details of a specific email message from an AgentMail inbox. This action returns the full message content including sender, recipients, subject, body (both text and HTML), attachments, labels, and metadata. Use this to read individual messages after discovering them via LIST_MESSAGES or webhooks. | | `AGENT_MAIL_LIST_INBOXES` | List Inboxes | List all inboxes available to the authenticated AgentMail account. Use this to discover valid inbox_id values for message operations. | | `AGENT_MAIL_LIST_MESSAGES` | List Messages | List messages from an AgentMail inbox. Returns a `messages` array; each message uses `message_id` and `timestamp` fields (not `id`, `date`, or `items`). | | `AGENT_MAIL_SEND_EMAIL` | Send Email | Send an email using AgentMail API | ## Supported Triggers | Trigger slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `AGENT_MAIL_NEW_EMAIL_TRIGGER` | New Email Received | Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox | ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Agent mail MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Agent mail account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Agent mail tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Agent mail MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/agent_mail/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Gmail](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gmail) - Gmail is Google's email service with powerful spam protection, search, and G Suite integration.

With a standalone Agent mail MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Agent mail tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Agent mail and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Agent mail tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Agent mail while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Agent mail scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Agent mail data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
