How to Install and Use AgentMail MCP

If you want to use the AgentMail MCP tool, this guide will help you install and start working with it quickly. Follow the steps below to set everything up and run AgentMail MCP with real examples.

Step 1: Get Your API Key

Before using AgentMail MCP, you need an API key from AgentMail. This key lets the tool connect to your AgentMail account securely.

To get your API key, visit the AgentMail website and sign up or log in. After that, you can find your API key in your account settings.

Step 2: Prepare Your Configuration

Next, you need to set up a configuration for the AgentMail MCP server. This setup tells the server how to run and where to get your API key.

Here is a simple example of the configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AgentMail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTMAIL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with the real API key you got from AgentMail. This configuration uses the npx command to run AgentMail MCP and sets the environment variable for your API key.

Step 3: Install AgentMail MCP Tool

AgentMail MCP can be run using Node.js’s npx without installing globally. Make sure you have Node.js installed on your computer. If you don’t have it, download and install it from the official website.

To run AgentMail MCP, open your terminal or command prompt and use this command:

npx -y agentmail-mcp

This command downloads and launches the AgentMail MCP tool quickly so you can start using it.

Step 4: Choose Which Tools to Use

AgentMail MCP comes with many tools by default. But sometimes, you only want to load specific tools to keep things simple.

For example, if you want to use only these tools: get_message, send_message, and reply_to_message, you can change your configuration like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AgentMail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentmail-mcp", "--tools", "get_message,send_message,reply_to_message"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTMAIL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

This will start AgentMail MCP with only the tools you need.

Step 5: Start Using AgentMail MCP

After you have your API key, configuration, and tools set, you are ready to use AgentMail MCP for managing emails and messages through AgentMail API.

Just run the configured command using npx, and the MCP server will be ready to accept commands.
