Shipmail API keys can now be scoped to only what they need. So instead of giving an app or agent full email access, you can limit a key to specific mailboxes, domains, or allowed recipients. Much safer and easier to control.

Spent the last 24h making ShipMail way more AI-friendly. You can now use it from the API, SDKs, CLI, MCP, and docs made for AI agents. Basically: if you want to automate your email setup instead of clicking around, Shipmail is getting much better at that.

On 13" screens, the webmail can get a bit too narrow. You can now collapse the sidebar to get more space on Shipmail.

I just shipped the Shipmail MCP server. Now you can connect Shipmail to Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, and other MCP clients. Your AI assistant can help you: - set up domain - manage mailboxes - read and triage emails - draft or send replies - manage webhooks Install it with: npx -y shipmail-mcp Docs: shipmail.to/docs/mcp

Finalizing first version of the MCP

By the way, for Shipmail, we support JMAP because it makes email faster, smoother, and easier on your battery. For the geeks: JMAP is the modern replacement for IMAP. It uses HTTPS + JSON, supports push updates, syncs changes efficiently, and can do more in fewer requests.

Applying to YC made me think more long term about Shipmail and how emails will change. I think there is something in between fully autonomous agents and fully human workflows. That’s where I want to go.

By the way, just applied to YC for Shipmail. Pretty sure it's not gonna work, but you never know

I’m wondering which intent I should target for agents, or if I should just stay human first

Added dark mode to Shipmail

Improved email automation for trial ended and payment failed.
