Give Claude Code its own inbox
Gork Mail is the best way to give Claude Code its own inbox. Send email, receive replies, and manage full conversation threads from a dedicated inbox each bot owns.
One command

Run directly in your terminal to install the MCP tool.
claude mcp add gork -- npx -y -p @gork/sdk gork-mcp --api-key=$GORK_API_KEY
One prompt away
Run Claude Code in your terminal with this direct instruction. Copy it, paste it into Claude Code — it calls the tools itself.
Paste into Claude Code — no code, no config
Why your Claude Code agent needs its own inbox
One address per bot
Not one connection shared across the fleet. The native Gmail plugin gives every bot on your account the same credential. Gork Mail gives each bot a real address it owns.
Real inbound
The Gmail plugin lets your bot read your inbox. Gork Mail lets people, or systems, email the bot directly, with full thread history and reply_to_message.
Scoped blast radius
One flagged send scopes to one bot's address, not your entire Gmail reputation.
Working code
Automate email reading and parsing directly from your shell:
# Run Claude Code in your workspaceclaude "Read the latest verification email sent to test-runner@yourcompany.com, extract the 6-digit OTP code, and run 'pnpm test:auth --code <OTP>'"# Claude Code automatically:# 1. Invokes gork_read_emails({ inbox: "test-runner@yourcompany.com" })# 2. Extracts regex match for r"\b\d{6}\b"# 3. Executes the test script with the parsed code
