Connect every inbox you manage to every AI you use.
InboxBridge is a single MCP server that gives Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT GPTs, and any other MCP-compatible AI client unified access to your Gmail, Outlook (Microsoft 365 / Hotmail / Live), and IMAP accounts (Yahoo, iCloud, FastMail, custom domains).
Once connected, your AI can search across every inbox in one call, read full threads, apply labels and folders, archive, mark read, draft replies, send mail, and download attachments — all without the user copy-pasting between Gmail and their chat window. Email content is fetched on demand and never stored on InboxBridge servers.
Quick Start
Under two minutes once you've signed up.
- Sign up or log in to your InboxBridge dashboard.
- Connect one or more email accounts (Gmail, Outlook, or any IMAP server).
- Go to LLM Connections and create an API key.
- Copy the config snippet below into your AI client. Replace
YOUR_API_KEY_HEREwith your actual API key. - Start a conversation and ask your AI to search or read your email. That's it.
