InboxPilot connector for Claude
Last updated November 8, 2026
The InboxPilot connector lets Claude work through the email requests InboxPilot tracks for you. Claude can list what you owe people, read the conversation, check your knowledge base, and leave a finished draft in Gmail or Outlook for you to review and send.
Claude can't send email through this connector.
What you need
- An InboxPilot account with at least one Gmail or Outlook inbox connected
- A Claude account
Set it up
- In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
- Find InboxPilot in the directory. If it isn't listed for you yet, choose Add custom connector and enter
https://www.inboxpilot.co/api/mcp. - Select Connect and sign in to InboxPilot.
- Choose which inboxes Claude can use, then select Allow.
- In a chat, turn the connector on and ask something like "What do I owe people today?"
What it can do
| Tool | What it does | Changes anything? |
|---|---|---|
| List requests | Lists what you owe, what you're waiting on, and what closed recently | No |
| Get a request | Reads a request's emails, its draft, and what InboxPilot knows about the customer | No |
| Search knowledge base | Finds passages in your InboxPilot knowledge base. Workspace Admins only | No |
| Update a draft reply | Rewrites the draft in Gmail or Outlook, or creates one if there is none | Yes. Claude asks first by default |
| Close a request | Marks a request done. It reopens if the other person writes again | Yes. Claude asks first by default |
A draft goes to the person the conversation is with. Claude can't change who it goes to. If someone has edited a draft in Gmail or Outlook, Claude leaves it alone.
Example prompts
- "What do I owe people today? Start with the oldest."
- "Read the Lumen Studio quote request and tell me what's still missing."
- "Check our returns policy and improve the draft reply to Orbit Coffee."
- "Close the Fern & Co request. We sorted it out on a call."
Who can see what
Claude sees what you can see in InboxPilot, limited to the inboxes you chose. If someone is removed from your workspace or loses access to an inbox, Claude loses it too on its next request.
Your data
When Claude uses a tool, InboxPilot sends the result to Claude: request details, email text, drafts, customer notes, and knowledge base passages. Anthropic handles it under the terms of your Claude account.
InboxPilot doesn't receive or store your Claude conversations. We keep a record of who connected, which inboxes they chose, and when it was last used, plus login tokens in hashed form. See our Privacy Policy.
Disconnect
Remove the connector in Claude's connector settings. A workspace Admin can also end anyone's connection in InboxPilot under Integrations, then Claude. Access stops on the next request.
