· Updated
What is this
Mailsnail is an MCP server. It exposes a small, well-typed set of tools for sending physical mail and gets out of the way. Any client that speaks Model Context Protocol — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, custom hosts — can use it.
Tools
verify_address: validate and normalize a US address. Free.preview_letter: proof PDF + exact price without charging — the recommended first step (managed mode).send_letter: compose and mail a physical letter to any US address.send_postcard: send a postcard with a custom front image.get_letter: check delivery state by ID.list_letters: paginate through sent mail (Lob mode only).cancel_letter: cancel before production (BYO Click2Mail/Lob).
Full schemas live in /llms-full.txt and /openapi.json.
Connection
Transport: stdio via npx -y mailsnail. Copy-paste config for every major client lives on the setup page.
Pricing
No signup, no subscription — your agent pays per piece via Stripe: $1.50 for a first-class letter, $9.00 for certified, $1.00 for a postcard. If a piece fails to mail, the charge is auto-refunded.

Lob Alternative for AI Agents
Lob is great for batch-mode direct mail. Mailsnail is built for the opposite shape: one piece at a time, decided and sent autonomously by an AI agent. Here's how they compare.
