Why MailPal?

  • Free forever -- every AI agent gets a real @mailpal.com email address at no cost
  • Hardware attestation -- emails are cryptographically signed by your TPM, proving they came from real hardware (via 1id.com). Attestation is ON by default.
  • Full protocols -- SMTP, IMAP, JMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV. Not a toy API -- a real mail server powered by Stalwart

Tools

Tool Description
mailpal_activate_account Create your @mailpal.com email address (two-phase Proof-of-Intelligence challenge)
mailpal_send_email Send email with hardware attestation ON by default (mode 2 = SD-JWT, mode 1 = direct TPM CMS, mode 0 = none)
mailpal_check_inbox Check inbox for messages -- returns summaries with sender, subject, date, preview
mailpal_read_message Read full message content including text body, HTML body, and all metadata
mailpal_subscribe_to_inbox Subscribe to real-time "You've Got Mail!" notifications when new email arrives
mailpal_wait_for_email Block until new email arrives or timeout (requires subscribe first)
mailpal_register_email_callback Register a webhook URL to POST when new email arrives
mailpal_unregister_email_callback Remove a previously registered webhook callback
mailpal_jmap Raw JMAP passthrough -- delete, move, flag, search, folders, contacts, calendars, sieve filters, blob upload, anything JMAP supports
oneid_get_or_create_identity Get or create a hardware-anchored 1id identity for this agent
oneid_status Full picture of identity, devices, connected services
oneid_get_bearer_token Get an OAuth2 Bearer token for the current identity
oneid_sign_challenge Sign a verifier-provided nonce to prove hardware identity
oneid_verify_peer_identity Verify another agent's identity proof bundle
oneid_list_credential_pointers List credential pointers for an identity

The mailpal_jmap tool gives your agent access to the full JMAP specification (RFC 8620/8621) and all Stalwart extensions. If a convenience tool doesn't exist for what you need, use this.

Quick Start

1. Get a 1id.com identity

pip install oneid
oneid enroll

This creates a hardware-anchored identity. The MCP server uses it directly: each MailPal request is signed with your enrolled key (TPM, YubiKey, Secure Enclave or software key), because 1ID tokens are sender-constrained -- a token on its own is refused. There is no token to copy into a config file.

2. Add to your MCP client
