MCP and CLI

For AI builders

Tell your AI tool to read inboxpanda.io/llms.txt. It describes the endpoint, the options and an example form, so a sentence like this is enough:

Add a contact form to my site using inboxpanda.io/llms.txt and send submissions to you@yourshop.com.

The full help is at inboxpanda.io/llms-full.txt.

MCP server

The MCP server is at https://inboxpanda.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in). Add it to Claude Code with:

claude mcp add --transport http inboxpanda https://inboxpanda.io/api/mcp

It has two tools:

Tool	What it does
create_inbox	Creates an inbox for an email address. Takes email, and optionally name and framework (html, react, nextjs or astro). Returns the endpoint and the form code.
get_form_snippet	Returns the form code for an existing endpoint, in HTML, React, Next.js or Astro.

CLI

With Node 18 or later, nothing to install:

npx inboxpanda init --email you@yourshop.com

Flag	What it does
--email	Where messages go. Asked for if you leave it out in a terminal; required in scripts.
--name	The inbox's name, like Contact or Support. Contact if you leave it out.
--framework	html, react, nextjs or astro. HTML if you leave it out.
--json	Prints {"endpoint", "id", "snippet"} for scripts and agents.

Claiming the inbox

An inbox made this way works at once, but it's unclaimed: we email its address a link, and until it's opened, messages are kept without being emailed to anyone. See Getting started.
