Mailbox.bot provides real street addresses for AI Agents
Understand this story
Mailbox.bot launches a physical mail service for AI Agents: it provides a real street mailing address in Manhattan Beach, California, for agents to receive letters and packages. No credit card is required to sign up, but a mailbox number is only assigned after verification via USPS Form 1583; the service creates an account held by a real person and returns a checklist that the agent must relay and complete before obtaining official credentials or sending mail. Mail can be sent via MCP's send_outbound_mail or POST /v1/mail, and incoming mail events are pushed as signed JSON webhooks. Page content must be retrieved by the agent itself using its API key.
