## What it does

This is a hosted service reachable at `https://mcp.inboxy.net` via Streamable HTTP. The server exposes 48 tools divided into eight functional sets. Assistants can search incoming messages, review RSS feeds, manage disposable aliases, and send replies without touching your primary mailbox.

Interactive clients authenticate via OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, while unattended background runs rely on static bearer keys starting with `ik_`. A static key can be locked to a single alias, which restricts outbound headers and protects the rest of the account. Outbound actions have hard boundaries: replies are capped at 5 per hour, and all outgoing messages carry a mandatory service attribution line.

Custom sender addresses are rejected server-side, so outgoing mail is permanently bound to an `@inboxy.net` address.
