Use this page to connect Sendmux MCP to your AI client. Prefer hosted OAuth when your client supports it. Use local stdio or private HTTP when the client cannot complete hosted OAuth.
Replace placeholder keys and tokens before running any snippet. Do not commit smx_root_, smx_mbx_, or private HTTP bearer tokens to version control.
This page connects live Sendmux MCP tools. To install the Sendmux skills or plugin marketplace first, use Agent skills.

Choose a setup

Hosted OAuth

Use this for Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Kiro, OpenCode, Zed, Visual Studio, Hoot, and ChatGPT.

Local stdio

Use this when your client can launch sendmux-mcp on your machine.

Private HTTP

Use this when your client needs a URL or runs outside your laptop.
A client can still use Sendmux when hosted OAuth is not listed. Use local stdio if the client can launch commands, or private HTTP if it needs a URL.
Use the hosted endpoint when the client supports remote MCP OAuth:

Local stdio clients

Install the local package once:
Use a mailbox key for Mailbox or Sending:
Use a root key for Management:

Private HTTP clients

Start a local HTTP MCP server:
Use http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp as the client URL.

Verify the connection

1

Reconnect the server

Restart or reconnect the MCP server in the client.
2

Check the tools

Open the client’s MCP server list or tool picker and confirm Sendmux tools appear.
3

Select a mailbox when needed

For a hosted multi-mailbox grant, call mailbox_list_granted_mailboxes before mailbox-specific work.
4

Check private HTTP auth

For private HTTP, confirm the client sends Authorization: Bearer local-mcp-token.
