Packages

Quick start

Install only the package for the surface you need.

npm install @sendmux/sending
pip install sendmux-sending
go get sendmux.ai/[email protected]
cargo add sendmux
composer require sendmux/sending:^1.0
gem install sendmux-sending

Use send-capable smx_mbx_* keys or owner-approved Sending-resource smx_agent_* tokens for Sending clients. Use smx_mbx_* keys or scoped smx_agent_* tokens for Mailbox clients. Use root smx_root_* keys for Management clients. Agent tokens remain limited by server-side scopes; pre-claim self-registered agent tokens do not include email.send.

For command-line access, install the CLI:

brew install sendmux/tap/sendmux
npm install -g @sendmux/cli
sendmux --help

For MCP clients, install sendmux-mcp or connect to the hosted MCP endpoint:

pip install sendmux-mcp
sendmux-mcp-mailbox --help

The hosted MCP endpoint is https://mcp.sendmux.ai/mcp. Local MCP commands support stdio and HTTP transports; hosted MCP uses OAuth and does not require manual API keys or custom OAuth endpoints.

Attachments And Live Mailbox Events

Mailbox attachment metadata now includes a short-lived download_url. Fetch that URL promptly with a plain HTTP client; it does not require an Authorization header, but it expires after a short TTL. If a download URL expires, re-fetch the message or attachment metadata to receive a fresh URL.

For outbound files, avoid manually placing base64 in prompts or source strings. Use the zero-context path for your lane:

• CLI: sendmux mailbox:send-message --attach ./report.pdf or sendmux sending:send --attach ./report.pdf.
• TypeScript: use @sendmux/mailbox/node sendMailboxMessageWithFiles(...) or @sendmux/sending/node sendEmailWithFiles(...).
• Python: use sendmux_mailbox.send_mailbox_message_with_files(...) or sendmux_sending.send_email_with_files(...).
• MCP: local stdio can use mailbox_upload_attachment with file_path; hosted and shell-capable agents can mint a presigned upload URL, PUT bytes to it without an API key, then send with the returned blob_id.

Mailbox direct uploads, presigned uploads, CLI --attach, and mailbox SDK file helpers share the mailbox attachment cap: currently 7,500,000 bytes per attachment. Sending API attachment helpers encode files into the send request body; the generated Sending API limit is max 10 attachments and a 25 MB request body.

Small generated attachments can still use inline base64 where the API schema supports them. MCP inline base64 is capped at 32 KiB decoded; the cheaper alternatives are file_path, presigned upload, CLI --attach, and SDK file helpers.

Live mailbox events are available through idiomatic lanes:

• TypeScript: streamMailboxEvents(...) returns an async iterator over typed mailbox realtime events.
• Python: iter_mailbox_events(...) yields typed MailboxRealtimeEvent models from the generated mailbox client.
• CLI: sendmux mailbox:stream-events --follow prints one JSON event per line until the stream closes or the process is interrupted.
• MCP: use mailbox_wait_for_message for bounded waits inside agent tool calls, then mailbox_get_attachment to renew attachment metadata and fetch download_url.

Repository structure

Versioning and support

SDK packages track the Sendmux public API contracts. Patch versions can differ between packages when a fix only affects one ecosystem or runtime.

Generated clients are built from committed OpenAPI snapshots. Any API contract change must update the snapshots and generated output in the same change.

For help, open a GitHub issue with the package name, version, command or import path, and the request ID from any API error response.

Contributing
