Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Bearer token: a scoped Mailbuttons MCP token, sent as 'Bearer mb_sandbox_...' (or mb_production_... once promoted). Get one free: sign in with an email code to get an mbk_ API key, then POST https://mailbuttons.com/api/v1/mcp/sandbox-inboxes with it. Guide: https://mailbuttons.com/developers/#mcp
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

}Export the customer's tamper-evident audit log for a SIEM, including the hash-chain fields (entry_hash, prev_hash) so a recipient can verify integrity. Business-tier only: requires the token's `siem_export` flag, otherwise returns `siem_export_not_enabled`. Read-only.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | Max entries to export. |
| since | string | Inclusive lower bound on created_at (RFC3339) — pass the last export's high-water mark for incremental pulls. |
| until | string | Inclusive upper bound on created_at (RFC3339). |
| format | string | Export format (default jsonl). |
| inbox_id | integer | Optional inbox filter. |

}Extract a one-time / verification code (a 4–8 digit number) from recent mail in a scoped inbox. GOVERNED: codes are only ever read from senders ALLOWLISTED in the mailbox policy — mail from any other sender is ignored, never scanned. Returns {status:"found", code, from, message_id} or {status:"not_found"}. Read-only; requires the `read` capability.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| from | string | Optional sender filter (the expected code sender). |
| inbox_id* | integer | Inbox (mailbox) id. Must be in scope for the token. |

}Extract inline text from a message attachment (text/* and text/csv). PDF and other binary types are not extracted yet and return an `error` with a next step. Read-only; requires the `attachments` capability.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| blob_id* | string | Attachment blob id (from message attachments meta). |
| email_id* | string | JMAP email id the attachment belongs to. |

| Argument | Type | Description |

| Argument | Type | Description |

}List sends that were held for human approval (e.g. an external recipient on a sandbox token, or mode="draft"). Scoped to the token's customer and inbox set. Read-only; requires the `read` capability. A human releases a draft out-of-band — the agent cannot send it.

| inbox_id | integer | Optional inbox filter; omit for all in-scope drafts. |

}Propose adding an address to an inbox's send allowlist. This NEVER grants access directly — it files a request for human approval and returns its id. Requires the `propose_policy` capability.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| address* | string | Email address to propose adding to the inbox's allowlist. |
| inbox_id* | integer | Inbox (mailbox) id the proposed sender would be allowed to reach. |

}
}
}File a human-approval request to grant additional capabilities (e.g. send_external) or promote a sandbox token to production. The token CANNOT widen its own scope; this only opens a request and returns an approval URL.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| inbox_id | integer | Optional inbox to scope the requested grant to. |
| promote_to | string | Request promotion of a sandbox token to production. |
| grant_capabilities* | array | Capabilities to request, e.g. send_external, attachments. A token can never widen its own scope — this only files a request. |
{
"type": "object",
"required": [
"grant_capabilities"
],
"properties": {
"inbox_id": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "Optional inbox to scope the requested grant to."
},

}
}
}Send or reply from a scoped inbox, subject to send policy. Sandbox tokens can never deliver to external recipients — such sends return `draft_pending_approval`; disallowed recipients return `blocked` with the matched rule. Both are EXPECTED governed outcomes, not errors. Requires the `send_internal` capability.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| to* | array | Recipient addresses. External recipients on a sandbox token become drafts. |
| html | string | Optional HTML body. |
| mode | string | "send" (default) attempts delivery; "draft" always parks for approval. |
| text | string | Plain-text body. |
| subject* | string | Email subject. |
| inbox_id* | integer | Sending inbox (mailbox) id. Must be in scope for the token. |
| thread_id | string | If set, send as a threaded reply rather than a fresh message. |
