mailsocket SDKs & MCP server
mailsocket is an inbox API for OTP and magic-link
signup automation: email in, JSON out. GET /inboxes/{id}/messages/wait?require=otp blocks and returns the OTP the
instant it arrives — no polling, no IMAP. Built for signup automation, E2E
tests, and AI agents.
This repo holds the official client packages.
