AI assistants

Use BumbleBox from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code

BumbleBox is an MCP server: your AI assistant can search and read all your connected mailboxes, see what is waiting for a reply, prepare drafts and reply — at the level you set in BumbleBox, by default one tap from you. You approve the connection once on bumblebox.ai.

Server URL

https://api.bumblebox.ai/api/mcp

Set it up in your assistant

Claude (web and desktop)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the server URL, then sign in to BumbleBox and allow.

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps & Connectors → create a connector (developer mode), paste the server URL, authentication OAuth.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bumblebox": { "url": "https://api.bumblebox.ai/api/mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "bumblebox": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.bumblebox.ai/api/mcp" }
  }
}

Claude Code

In a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http bumblebox https://api.bumblebox.ai/api/mcp

Claude Code plugin

With the /bumblebox:to-answer and /bumblebox:tidy commands, inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add BumbleBox/bumblebox-mcp
/plugin install bumblebox@bumblebox

What your assistant can do

✓Search and read your emails across every connected mailbox
✓List the emails waiting for your reply
✓Look up your contacts, folders and calendar
✓Prepare a reply draft — it waits in BumbleBox for your click on Send
✓Reply to the sender of an email: by default the reply waits for one tap from you; you can allow more in BumbleBox for replies in a thread you already answered, capped at 20 a day and always cancellable
✓Write and edit the drafts of your campaigns — the campaign leaves only from BumbleBox
✓Archive, move or trash an email — certified noise goes to the trash, anything else waits for your tap — and put it back

What it can never do

✕Change what it is allowed to send: that is set only by you, in BumbleBox
✕Send anything that commits you (amounts, bank details, contracts, dates, links) without you
✕Delete anything permanently
✕Touch a reply you already validated

How the connection works

•Your assistant opens bumblebox.ai, where you sign in and see its name and the address it will return to before you allow anything.
•Your assistant never receives your BumbleBox or mailbox password, only an access key that BumbleBox stores hashed.
•Your plan is checked on every request: if you leave Pro or Business, the assistant loses access at once.
•It works on every mailbox connected to BumbleBox — Gmail, Outlook or any IMAP account — without connecting them again.
•The assistant only sees what its tools return for the question you ask; nothing is copied to it in the background.
