# AgentMail MCP tool for ADK

<div class="language-support-tag">
  <span class="lst-supported">Supported in ADK</span><span class="lst-python">Python</span><span class="lst-typescript">TypeScript</span>
</div>

The [AgentMail MCP Server](https://github.com/agentmail-to/agentmail-mcp)
connects your ADK agent to [AgentMail](https://agentmail.to/), an email inbox
API built for AI agents. This integration gives your agent its own email
inboxes to send, receive, reply to, and forward messages using natural
language.

## Use cases

- **Give Agents Their Own Inboxes**: Create dedicated email addresses for your
  agents so they can send and receive emails independently, just like a human
  team member.

- **Automate Email Workflows**: Let your agent handle email conversations end
  to end, including sending initial outreach, reading replies, and following up
  on threads.

- **Manage Conversations Across Inboxes**: List and search across threads and
  messages, forward emails, and retrieve attachments to keep your agent informed
  and responsive.

## Prerequisites

- Create an [AgentMail account](https://agentmail.to/)
- Generate an API key from the
  [AgentMail Dashboard](https://agentmail.to/)
