# Maillayer

> Email for your product and your AI agents. Campaigns, transactional email, templates and contacts on your own domain, run from an AI agent through an MCP server, or from code through a REST API. Pay per email with one-time credit packs that never expire.

Key facts:

- MCP server: https://agent.maillayer.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer ml_...` using an API key from the dashboard.
- MCP tools: send_email, get_email, list_domains, list_templates, get_template, save_template, upsert_contact, list_lists, create_campaign, send_campaign, get_campaign, list_campaigns. send_campaign emails real people, so confirm with the user first.
- REST API base URL: https://agent.maillayer.com/api/v1, JSON, same API keys. Errors look like `{ "error": { "code", "message" } }`.
- Sending requires a verified domain (DKIM, return-path and DMARC records). Campaigns add the sender's postal address and an unsubscribe link automatically.
- Pricing: $9 for 10,000 emails, $29 for 50,000 emails, $99 for 250,000 emails, $499 for 2,000,000 emails. One credit sends one email. No subscription; credits never expire. Optional auto-recharge.
- New accounts warm up over 14 days: 1,000, then 5,000, then 20,000, then 50,000 emails a day.
- Works with Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot and any MCP client.

## Getting started

- [Introduction](https://agent.maillayer.com/docs): Maillayer is email you run by asking your AI agent: campaigns, transactional email, templates and contacts, with an MCP server and a REST API.
- [Quickstart](https://agent.maillayer.com/docs/quickstart): Sign up, verify your domain, connect your AI agent and send your first email by asking for it, in about five minutes.
- [Connect your AI agent](https://agent.maillayer.com/docs/mcp): Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client to Maillayer, then just ask: send email, add contacts, write templates and run campaigns.
- [Verify a sending domain](https://agent.maillayer.com/docs/domains): Add your domain to Maillayer and publish the DKIM, return-path and DMARC records so inboxes trust your email.
