SolMail MCP Server

Send real physical mail using Solana cryptocurrency from your AI agent.

SolMail MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents like Claude to send physical letters and postcards to real addresses worldwide, paid for with Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency. Perfect for agents that need to interact with the physical world.

Features

  • πŸ“¬ Send Real Mail: Physical letters printed and mailed to any address

  • πŸ’° Crypto Payments: Pay with SOL on Solana (devnet or mainnet)

  • 🌍 Worldwide Delivery: Send to 200+ countries

  • πŸ€– AI-Native: Built specifically for AI agent integration

  • ⚑ Fast & Cheap: Solana's sub-second finality and ~$0.00025 transaction fees

  • πŸ”’ Non-Custodial: Direct wallet control, no intermediaries

Use Cases

  • Autonomous Customer Service: AI agents sending thank-you notes or receipts

  • AI-Driven Marketing: Personalized postcards generated and sent by AI

  • Smart Contracts: Trigger physical mail based on on-chain events

  • AI Personal Assistant: "Claude, send a birthday card to my mom"

  • Automated Reminders: Physical notifications for important events

Installation

# Clone or create the project git clone <repository-url> cd solmail-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the TypeScript code npm run build

Configuration

Create a .env file based on .env.example:

# SolMail API Configuration SOLMAIL_API_URL=https://solmail.online/api # Solana Wallet (your agent's wallet private key) # IMPORTANT: Use a dedicated wallet with limited funds for AI agents SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY=your_base58_private_key_here # Solana Network SOLANA_NETWORK=devnet # Options: devnet (for testing), mainnet-beta (for production) # Optional: Merchant wallet (where payments go) # If not set, uses SolMail's default merchant wallet MERCHANT_WALLET=<merchant_solana_address>

Getting a Solana Wallet

To use this MCP server, your AI agent needs its own Solana wallet:

# Install Solana CLI (if not already installed) sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/stable/install)" # Generate a new keypair solana-keygen new --outfile ~/.config/solana/agent-wallet.json # Get the private key in base58 format solana-keygen pubkey ~/.config/solana/agent-wallet.json # This is your public address # To get the private key as base58 (for .env file): # The keypair JSON file contains the private key bytes

Important: For AI agents, create a dedicated wallet and only fund it with the amount needed for mail sending. Never use your primary wallet.

Funding Your Wallet

For Devnet (Testing):

# Airdrop free devnet SOL solana airdrop 2 <your-wallet-address> --url devnet

For Mainnet (Production): Transfer SOL to your agent's wallet address. Each letter costs approximately:

  • Domestic (US): $1.50 = ~0.015 SOL (at $100/SOL)

  • International: $2.50 = ~0.025 SOL (at $100/SOL)

  • Plus Solana transaction fee: ~$0.00025

Usage with Claude Desktop

Example Conversations

With Claude:

You: Send a thank you note to John Doe at 123 Main St, San Francisco, CA 94102 Claude: I'll help you send that thank you note via physical mail using Solana! Let me first check the cost and then send the letter. [Uses get_mail_quote tool] The cost will be $1.50 (approximately 0.015 SOL) for domestic US mail. [Uses send_mail tool] βœ“ Letter sent successfully! Your thank you note has been sent to John Doe and should arrive in 3-5 business days.

How It Works

  1. Agent composes letter content

  2. MCP server validates recipient address

  3. Solana transaction is created and signed by agent's wallet

  4. Payment is sent to SolMail merchant wallet

  5. Transaction signature is submitted to SolMail API

  6. SolMail verifies the on-chain payment

  7. Letter is printed by fulfillment partner (Lob.com)

  8. Letter is mailed via USPS/postal service

  9. Tracking info returned to agent

Development

# Watch mode for development npm run dev # Build for production npm run build # Run the server npm start

Security Considerations

  1. Dedicated Wallet: Create a separate wallet for your AI agent with limited funds

  2. Private Key Security: Store SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY securely, never commit to git

  3. Devnet Testing: Test thoroughly on devnet before using mainnet

  4. Rate Limiting: Implement spending limits for autonomous agents

  5. Content Review: Consider reviewing mail content before sending (for production)

Limitations

  • Currently supports plain text letters only (PDF support coming soon)

  • Requires wallet with SOL balance

  • Subject to postal delivery times (not instant)

  • Mail content reviewed by fulfillment partner (Lob.com) for policy compliance

Roadmap

  • PDF attachment support

  • Multiple letter templates

  • Postcard support

  • Package/merchandise shipping

  • Return address management

  • Bulk sending optimization

  • USDC payment support

  • Multi-chain support (EVM chains)
