x402mail 0.2.4

Send and receive emails with crypto micropayments via x402

x402mail

Send and receive emails with crypto micropayments. No accounts, no API keys — just a wallet.

Built on the x402 protocol — every API call is paid with USDC on Base.

Install

pip install x402mail[cdp]

Quick Start

export CDP_API_KEY_ID="your-key-id"          # from cdp.coinbase.com
export CDP_API_KEY_SECRET="your-key-secret"
export CDP_WALLET_SECRET="your-wallet-secret"

from x402mail import X402Mail

mail = X402Mail.from_cdp()   # wallet created automatically
print(mail.address)          # fund this with USDC on Base

# Send an email ($0.005 USDC)
result = mail.send(
    to="[e-mail]",
    subject="Hello from x402mail",
    body="Sent with 3 lines of Python!"
)
print(result)
# {"message_id": "abc-123", "inbox": "[e-mail]"}

# Check your inbox ($0.001)
inbox = mail.inbox()
# {"inbox": "[e-mail]", "total": 5, "unread": 2}

# List messages ($0.002)
messages = mail.messages(limit=5, unread_only=True)

# Read a message ($0.001)
if messages:
    msg = mail.read(message_id=messages[0]["id"])
    print(msg["body"])

Or with a private key: X402Mail(private_key=os.getenv("EVM_PRIVATE_KEY"))

MCP Server for AI Agents

Run a local MCP server so LLMs (Claude, GPT, etc.) can send and receive emails:

x402mail mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x402mail": {
      "command": "x402mail",

      }
    }
  }
}
