How to give an AI access to mail and stay in charge of your data
The story of Universal Mail MCP: from a question to a closed beta. The interfaces below are illustrations, not screenshots; the data is fictional.
The question
An AI client needs mail. A person needs control.
Claude, Codex and ChatGPT can work with mail, files, a calendar and contacts once they are given access. The simplest path is one key for everything. We were interested in another: a person who sees each right separately and decides which to switch on.
The system
One path instead of a separate setup for each client
An AI client calls one address. The path runs through the rights you set for the connection and through the key's scope. Real access is the intersection of those conditions and what the provider can do.

Permissions
Permissions are switches, not legal text
Each right is its own card. Off means forbidden. One “Save” for the whole set, and what a provider cannot do is never shown as working.
Connection permissions
Not checkedOff means forbidden. No health is shown here: it has not been checked.

The key
A key is shown once
When a key is created its value is visible once. After that only the name and the last characters remain. A key can be revoked at any time, and the connection stops working at once.
Where we are
Closed beta: the cabinet works, registration is by invitation
We do not call this a launch for everyone. To get into the beta, write to us: addresses are added to the list by hand.
