Email infrastructure for AI agents. Create accounts, send/receive emails, manage webhooks, and check karma balance via the AgentMail API.
npx skills add https://github.com/lingxling/awesome-skills-cn --skill agentmail
AgentMail gives AI agents real email addresses (@theagentmail.net) with a REST API. Agents can send and receive email, sign up for services (GitHub, AWS, Slack, etc.), and get verification codes. A karma system prevents spam and keeps the shared domain's reputation high.
Base URL: https://api.theagentmail.net
All requests require Authorization: Bearer am_... header (API key from dashboard).
curl -X POST https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/accounts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"address": "[email protected]"}'
Response: {"data": {"id": "...", "address": "[email protected]", "displayName": null, "createdAt": 123}}
curl -X POST https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/accounts/{accountId}/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"to": ["[email protected]"],
"subject": "Hello from my agent",
"text": "Plain text body",
"html": "<p>Optional HTML body</p>"
}'
Optional fields: cc, bcc (string arrays), inReplyTo, references (strings for threading), attachments (array of {filename, contentType, content} where content is base64).
# List messages
curl https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/accounts/{accountId}/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..."
# Get full message (with body and attachments)
curl https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/accounts/{accountId}/messages/{messageId} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..."
curl https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/karma \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..."
Response: {"data": {"balance": 90, "events": [...]}}
curl -X POST https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/accounts/{accountId}/webhooks \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://my-agent.example.com/inbox"}'
Webhook deliveries include two security headers:
X-AgentMail-Signature -- HMAC-SHA256 hex digest of the request body, signed with the webhook secretX-AgentMail-Timestamp -- millisecond timestamp of when the delivery was sentVerify the signature and reject requests with timestamps older than 5 minutes to prevent replay attacks:
import { createHmac } from "crypto";
const verifyWebhook = (body: string, signature: string, timestamp: string, secret: string) => {
if (Date.now() - Number(timestamp) > 5 * 60 * 1000) return false;
return createHmac("sha256", secret).update(body).digest("hex") === signature;
};
curl https://api.theagentmail.net/v1/accounts/{accountId}/messages/{messageId}/attachments/{attachmentId} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer am_..."
Returns {"data": {"url": "https://signed-download-url..."}}.
| Method | Path | Description | Karma |
|--------|------|-------------|-------|
| POST | /v1/accounts | Create email account | -10 |
| GET | /v1/accounts | List all accounts | |
| GET | /v1/accounts/:id | Get account details | |
| DELETE | /v1/accounts/:id | Delete account | +10 |
| POST | /v1/accounts/:id/messages | Send email | -1 |
| GET | /v1/accounts/:id/messages | List messages | |
| GET | /v1/accounts/:id/messages/:msgId | Get full message | |
| GET | /v1/accounts/:id/messages/:msgId/attachments/:attId | Get attachment URL | |
| POST | /v1/accounts/:id/webhooks | Register webhook | |
| GET | /v1/accounts/:id/webhooks | List webhooks | |
| DELETE | /v1/accounts/:id/webhooks/:whId | Delete webhook | |
| GET | /v1/karma | Get balance + events | |
Every action has a karma cost or reward:
| Event | Karma | Why |
|---|---|---|
| money_paid | +100 | Purchase credits |
| email_received | +2 | Someone replied from a trusted domain |
| account_deleted | +10 | Karma refunded when you delete an address |
| email_sent | -1 | Sending costs karma |
| account_created | -10 | Creating addresses costs karma |
Important rules:
When karma reaches 0, sends and account creation return HTTP 402. Always check balance before operations that cost karma.
