MCP support
Mailows provides a hosted remote MCP server at `https://mcp.mailows.com/mcp` for Grok Build and other MCP clients. It uses OAuth authorization, with tokens stored by the MCP client.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEMailows for Grok
Remote MCP plugin that connects Grok Build to the hosted Mailows server at https://mcp.mailows.com/mcp.
Mailows gives AI agents their own real email inboxes — not a shared human mailbox. Each agent gets a dedicated address on your domain; you decide which inboxes it may touch and can revoke grants independently.
Install
Once listed in the xAI plugin marketplace:
grok plugin install mailows --trust
Or add the remote server directly:
grok mcp add --transport http mailows https://mcp.mailows.com/mcp
First use triggers an OAuth browser flow (authorization code + PKCE). Tokens stay in the MCP client credential store.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
