GrabMail MCP server
Which MCP servers are GrabMail's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Once connected
- For "read verification codes inside automated test suites", the likely first call is create_inbox.
- create_inbox, delete_message change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 3 of 6 tools: check arguments before calling.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look
- Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_inbox, delete_message
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
create_inboxInvent a fresh, unused disposable email address you can give out immediately. Nothing is created or reserved server-side — an address exists as soon as mail arrives at it — so this never fails and needs no account. Public domains…
list_domainsThe public domains anyone may use. A domain of your own needs no account or key either — just an MX record pointing here. These public domains are on disposable-mail blocklists; if a form rejects them, see the premium pool noted in the…
list_messagesEverything waiting at an address, newest first. Returns immediately, including when the mailbox is empty — use wait_for_message if you are expecting something that has not arrived yet.
read_messageThe full message: sender, subject, plain text, HTML and any attachments. This is where a confirmation code or a sign-in link will be. Read `text`: when the sender shipped HTML only, as most transactional mail does, it holds a plain-text…
wait_for_messageBlocks until a new message arrives at the address, then returns it in full — the tool to use after submitting a sign-up form. Waits at most 25 seconds and then returns with timed_out set to true; call it again to keep waiting. Optionally…
delete_messageRemove a message now rather than waiting for it to expire. Idempotent.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"grabmail": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://grabmail.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http grabmail https://grabmail.io/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://grabmail.io/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
