From nothing installed to inbox handled.
A Microsoft 365 mailbox on a Monday morning: 47 unread, six invoices to file, one reply three days overdue. Connect the mailbox, add the connector, then say one sentence and watch the mailbox do the rest.

47 unreadRe: Maintenance contract, one more question
Hi Michael,
Sorry to chase, but we need to know whether the maintenance contract covers the two Hamburg sites as well, and whether the per-site fee changes if it does. Our board meets Friday and I would like to bring them a straight answer.
Thanks, Anna
Re: Maintenance contract, one more question
Hi Anna,
Thanks for following up, and apologies for the slow reply. Yes, the maintenance contract covers both Hamburg sites, and the per-site fee is unchanged at the rate in the annex.
I have asked our office to send the updated annex over today, so you have it in writing before Friday. If anything is still open after that, call me directly.
Best regards, Michael Keller

Six invoices filed. The reply is in your Drafts, read it before you send it.
Pick your provider. Microsoft 365 signs in with OAuth. The IMAP presets take a host, a port and your login.

https://mcp.inboxmcp.io/mcpCopyAdd a custom connector. Claude registers itself with inboxmcp automatically, so there are no client IDs to copy across.
Nothing outside this list can happen, and every call lands in your audit log.
An illustration of the real flow, not a screen recording. The mail app shown is a generic drawing, not any particular product. The people, companies and messages are invented. The connector URL, the setup steps and the tool names are the real ones.
Works with the AI assistants you already use.
inboxmcp speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so any spec-compliant client can use it. Add it once on our side, then point any client at the same URL.

Anthropic
Available as a Custom Connector in Claude Web and Desktop. We're working on getting inboxmcp listed in the official Claude connector catalogue too.
ChatGPT
OpenAI
Available as a Custom MCP Connector for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu. Enable Developer Mode once to add it, then turn it back off. The connector stays. The listing in OpenAI's official app directory is still in review.
2026-05-26ChatGPT setup guide published. See the help center.
Gemini
We'll add Gemini as soon as Google supports the same connector format Claude and ChatGPT use.
Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft
We're following Microsoft's connector roadmap. Copilot will be added once it's ready on their side.
Why not just use Copilot or the Claude plugin?
Both work. But only if you live entirely inside Microsoft 365 and never want to switch AI tools. Most people don't.
