## What it does

Mailows is a remote MCP server reachable at `https://mcp.mailows.com/mcp`. Your agent gets a dedicated address on your domain instead of borrowing a human mailbox, and you choose which inboxes it can reach. Grants are revoked one agent at a time.

The first call opens a browser for OAuth, using authorization code with PKCE. Tokens live in the MCP client's credential store rather than in a project file. The service is operated by DW Technology LLC.

Because the server is hosted, mail passes through someone else's infrastructure. Teams with rules about where correspondence is stored should read the terms before wiring it in.
