Fast path (recommended) — use verify_email for the common case:

1. Create inbox — create_inbox({ prefix: "signup", name: "test" })
2. Use the address — Enter it in a sign-up form, invite field, etc.
3. Verify in one call — verify_email({ address: "test", subject_contains: "confirm" }) — polls for the email, extracts the link, visits it via HTTP.
4. Clean up — delete_inbox({ address: "test" })

Manual path — when you need more control:

1. Create inbox — create_inbox({ prefix: "signup", name: "test" })
2. Use the address — Enter it wherever the service asks for an email.
3. Wait for email — wait_for_email({ address: "test", from: "[email protected]", timeout_seconds: 60 }) — polls with backoff until a matching email arrives.
4. Act on links — Navigate to the confirmation link via browser automation or HTTP.
5. Clean up — delete_inbox({ address: "test" })

<important_notes>

• Named inboxes: pass name to create_inbox, then use that name in all other tools instead of the full email address.
• Fallback providers: mail.tm is primary, 1secmail kicks in automatically if mail.tm is down.
• Inboxes are cleaned up automatically when the MCP server shuts down.
• Some services block disposable email domains. If sign-up is rejected, the service may have these domains on a blocklist. </important_notes>
