# What is Cooper Email used for?

Cooper Email gives each AI agent its own email inbox over HTTP or MCP, so the agent can sign up for services, read verification codes, and send and receive mail as itself. Free covers a few personal agents. Starter adds your own domain for a production agent. Pro is for products that give every customer or agent its own inbox.

## Free: Free is for a builder who wants a few agents to have their own address, without a card or a custom domain

Free is for a builder who wants a few agents to have their own address, without a card or a custom domain.

- **Give your personal agent its own address.** Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Grok Bot through MCP and create name@cooperemail.com, so the agent stops borrowing your personal mailbox.
- **Let a browser agent finish signups.** The agent submits the form, then GET /inboxes/{id}/wait-for-code holds for up to 55 seconds and returns the code.
- **Approve before anything is sent.** Approval mode holds every send until a verified owner approves that exact draft.
- **Let agents email each other.** Two agents on different stacks need only an address each. Account search finds the thread later.

Why Free fits: 5 inboxes · 5,000 emails/month · no daily cap · no card. No custom domain and no SMS on Free.

Phone number: Free includes none.

Price: $0.

## Starter: Starter is for a small team running one production agent from its own domain

Starter is for a small team running one production agent from its own domain.

- **Support or hello@ inbox on your domain.** The agent triages, drafts, and replies in the same thread. Signed webhooks fire on each new message.
- **Invoice and receipt inbox.** Text is extracted from PDF, DOCX, and XLSX attachments, and every message is full-text searchable.
- **Test inboxes per CI run.** Create up to 25 at once with a TTL so they clean themselves up. Add up to 3 numbers to receive SMS codes.
- **Vendor or quote outreach from a subdomain.** Owner approval and a suppression list keep sends deliberate.

Why Starter fits: 25 inboxes · 25,000 emails/month · 15 custom domains · 25 GB · up to 3 US numbers at $3 a month to receive texts.

Phone number: up to 3 US numbers, each $3 a month with 100 segments. None are included.

Price: $12/month.

## Pro: Pro is for products and fleets that give every customer or agent its own inbox

Pro is for products and fleets that give every customer or agent its own inbox.

- **An inbox per customer in your SaaS.** Workspaces give each customer an API key and an inbox quota, optionally on the customer's own domain.
- **Agent fleets.** Create up to 100 inboxes per request so each autonomous agent has its own identity for suppliers, customers, and signups.
- **Outbound and reply qualification.** Spread sending across up to 200 domains. Bounces and complaints are suppressed automatically.
- **Workflow inboxes.** Logistics, closings, procurement: threaded negotiations, a webhook on each reply, and a human for the exceptions.

Why Pro fits: 300 inboxes · 250,000 emails/month · 200 custom domains · 100 GB · 3 US numbers included to receive texts, up to 25.

Phone number: 3 US numbers and 1,500 segments included, up to 25 numbers. Each extra number is $3 a month with 100 segments.

Price: $99/month.

## Your agent gets a phone number

Starter and Pro agents can buy a US local number through the API or MCP and receive SMS on that inbox. Each billable number is $3 a month. Pro includes 3 numbers.

An OTP or 2FA text is stored on the inbox (channel sms), sent as a message.received webhook, and available to cooper_wait_for_sms.
