Cove Mail

Bring Your Own AI

Bring your own AI
to your inbox.

Cove Mail is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridge between your email accounts and an AI agent you choose. Any agent that can connect to a local MCP server can work with Cove Mail. You control which accounts and actions it can use.

Cove Mail does not include or require a specific AI model. It connects your chosen agent to email through MCP.

How it works

Your agent meets your inbox through MCP.

Cove Mail runs a local MCP server on your Mac. Any agent that can connect to a local MCP server can work with Cove Mail, using only the email accounts and actions you enable.

Connect your AI agent

Cove Mail does not require a specific model. Use any agent that can connect to its local MCP server, whether it uses a cloud or local model.

02

Choose the email accounts

Select the accounts the agent can use. Adding an account to Cove Mail does not grant the agent MCP access.

03

Choose the allowed actions

Allow only the actions you need, such as search, read, draft, send, or delete. An enabled action can run without another Cove Mail approval.

Native Mac feature

Compass puts mail and settings in one place.

Stored on your Mac

Cove Mail does not keep a hosted copy of your mailbox.

Cove Mail keeps your email data, account information, and preferences on your Mac. Sign-in credentials are protected using macOS Keychain. A connected MCP agent receives only data allowed by the settings you choose.
