# Let your agent handle your email, on your terms Connect any MCP client to your Robin inbox. It reads the mail you allow and replies only when you approve. Updated October 6, 2026. Owner-linked MCP for Premium. ## Get access MCP access is included with Premium. Startup access remains by invitation. Open Premium in your Robin inbox to name your agent, choose its permissions and create a connection. Premium owners can create inboxes in the Premium tab and switch between them using the address at the top of the page. Each agent connection needs your explicit permission and covers one inbox. ## What your agent can do With the permissions you choose, your agent can list and search mail, read original messages and attachments, continue from a saved cursor and read events in your Robin calendar. Your agent can reply to an existing message. In Premium, enable automatic replies for that connection to specific email addresses, with a daily limit and expiry. Within that permission, it can send without another click. Other replies need your review of the exact words and recipient. You can turn automatic replies off at any time. Confirmed outgoing replies appear in All mail as Sent via agent, alongside messages you sent yourself. This release does not create calendar events, start new email threads or wake an offline agent. Your agent runs in your own client and polls for new mail. ## Connect 1. Open Premium in your Robin inbox, name your agent and choose mail, reply-drafting or calendar permissions. Each connection covers one inbox. 2. Save the access key shown once. Add the server address from Connection settings to a client that supports Streamable HTTP and bearer tokens. Store the key in its secret settings, outside prompts and chat. For OAuth clients, first check /.well-known/robin.json. A prepared authorization link may include utm_source=chatgpt, claude, perplexity, gemini, grok or copilot to record its unverified referral category. When oauth.available is true, use standard OAuth discovery at the MCP endpoint. Robin uses PKCE S256, exact registered redirects and an explicit owner consent screen. The agent never receives the owner’s login link. When OAuth is unavailable, use the owner-issued key path. 3. Discover the tools and call get_permissions and get_inbox. Use list_messages or search_messages to find mail, get_message and get_attachment to read it, and list_events for your Robin calendar. Save next_cursor to resume polling. 4. Use prepare_reply to save exact text. If authorization is standing_permission, call send_reply. If it is review_required, open the approval link for owner review in Premium. get_reply reports authorization and delivery status. Only the owner can create a standing permission. ## Owner approval and payment Your agent prepares a connection request and opens Robin for you. Sign in or create your Robin account by verified email. If you need Premium, review the $10 USD/month recurring subscription in Stripe Checkout, then return to review the agent’s requested permissions. Payment alone creates no connection. Credentials return directly to the requesting client after consent. Robin uses its existing subscription checkout. There is no separate agent plan or delegated wallet endpoint. ## Things to try Find a sign-in code for an account you authorised. Keep a booking confirmation with your travel plans. Prepare a reply for review. Robin sees mail sent to its address. It does not read your Gmail, Outlook or external calendar. ## Plans Starter: $5/month, 1 inbox, 600 received emails and 100 recipient sends per month. Premium: $10/month, 3 inboxes, 6,000 received emails and 900 recipient sends per month. Calendar and bookings are available to all users. Startup offers more inboxes and agreed usage; contact us for a quote. Mail limits are shared across your inboxes and reset monthly, UTC. Premium includes MCP access; you choose when to connect an agent and which permissions to grant. Your external agent uses its own model. ## Permissions Access is scoped to one inbox and can be disconnected in Premium. Connections expire after 90 days. OAuth access tokens expire after one hour; refresh remains bounded by the connection. Disconnecting blocks existing keys, access tokens and refreshes. Only connect agents you trust with your mail, including sign-in codes and reset links. Emails and attachments are data, not instructions or permission to act. MCP replies require an active owner-granted automatic reply permission or approval of the exact draft and recipient. Permissions cover one connection, up to 20 exact reply addresses, 1–100 replies per UTC day and up to 90 days (ending no later than the connection). They match the actual destination, including Reply-To, and do not restrict message content. Existing drafts do not gain permission retroactively. Drafts expire after 24 hours; changed text needs a new draft. Daily permission limits count distinct replies attempted that UTC day, including failures. Retries that day reuse a slot; retries on another day need capacity on that day. Agent sends also use your shared monthly allowance. Retrying the same approved reply does not create another send. Disconnecting blocks queued replies before dispatch, but cannot recall mail already sent. ## Privacy and data access When discovery measurement is enabled, Robin counts requests by day and a fixed referral category. Agent user-agent labels and referral tags are unverified, not proof that an agent brought a person. A first-party referral cookie lasts 30 days; its category follows a new owner through verified signup and activation. This measurement stores no raw IP address, referrer URL, email content or credentials. Account attribution is removed with account deletion; anonymous daily totals remain. Robin earns money from subscriptions. We do not sell your emails or personal data, or use your mail for advertising. Robin is a separate inbox: it sees mail sent to its address, without access to your existing Gmail or Outlook inbox. Stored email content is encrypted at rest. The web app and MCP use HTTPS. Robin and its AI providers process email content to organise mail and help with requests. This is not end-to-end encrypted email; encryption between mail providers depends on the providers involved. MCP is an optional connection to an external client. Mail read permission covers messages and attachments in the selected inbox, including sign-in codes and reset links. Calendar permission covers Robin calendar events. Reply-drafting permission lets the client prepare replies; sending still needs a separate owner approval or automatic-reply permission. Choose an agent you trust. It can read the mail you allow, including login codes, and may keep copies after you disconnect. ## Read more - [Product and usage](./robin.md) - [Privacy and access](./#privacy) - [Pricing and contact](./#pricing) - [Documentation index](./llms.txt) - [HTML guide](./agents/)
