receive-email-api

Receive email API for AI agents. HTTP API to create inboxes and retrieve OTP codes, magic links, and verification emails. No signup. No OAuth.

This is a discovery alias for Courier — agent-native email infrastructure. Courier is the email layer agents can actually use.

Why AI agents need this

AI agents need to receive email for:

• OTP / 2FA codes — one-time passwords for signup and login
• Magic links — passwordless authentication URLs
• Verification emails — account confirmation codes
• Password reset links — account recovery

Most email services require human interaction, browser-based OAuth, or complex API setup. Courier gives your agent a disposable inbox in under 5 seconds with zero setup.

How to use

# MCP server for any agent framework
npm install -g courier-mcp

# Python (zero deps)
pip install courier-agent-email

# One API call
curl -X POST https://getcourier.dev/alias \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"purpose":"test"}'

# Check for codes
curl -s https://getcourier.dev/messages | jq '.messages[] | {subject, codes, links}'

Key features

• No signup, no API keys, no auth — create an inbox in one API call
• No Gmail API, no OAuth — real SMTP email, not API integrations
• Automatic OTP and magic link extraction — codes are parsed and ready to use
• Works with any agent framework — Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Agents, CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen
• Real SMTP email — not simulation, not test modes
