Fortmail gives your AI agent a real email client: every mailbox you own, aggregated and triaged, with send-as for those same boxes — so you stop living in the inbox.
It is one Cloudflare Worker (~550 lines, zero deps). Free-tier friendly. No framework, no server to babysit, no LLM inside the worker itself.
What it does
- Owns Gmail (API/OAuth) and any IMAP/SMTP provider over raw TLS — no forwarding middleman
- Seals mailbox credentials in the worker (AES-GCM); you do not store plaintext passwords
- Triages with a deterministic regex classifier into desk / record / ignore (no model cost, no hallucination in the plumbing)
- Speaks MCP at
/mcp— connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, or your own harness - Optional steward bridge: mail to an agent address → GitHub PR with TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED stamp so the agent knows instructions vs data
- Newsletter lists live in your KV (double opt-in, one-click unsub); relay is just a pipe
Trust rule baked in: only OWNER_EMAILS may issue commands; everything else is data to triage, never obeyed.
Repo
MIT: https://github.com/TheFortThatHolds/mail
Point any coding agent at AGENTS.md and it can stand the whole thing up; you only do the human-gated steps (Cloudflare login, OAuth, mailbox passwords).
If you want the written route these organs came from — same stack, documented for your own agent — the free repos and optional Selfware seeds live at https://thefortthatholds.xyz. The code above is complete without that.
