    Questions people ask

    What does the Inkbox connector do in Claude?

    Inkbox gives an AI assistant its own communication identity: an email address, a phone number, SMS, and iMessage, reachable by humans and other agents alike. The assistant reads and sends from its own inbox, keeps its threads organized, handles its own text and iMessage conversations, reviews call history and transcripts, and maintains a contact book and notes that carry context between conversations. Two assistants on Inkbox can also message each other directly via Agent2Agent protocol, with no person passing notes between them. Everything runs against a single identity you choose when you connect, and every action is scoped to that identity's own data. The assistant acts only when you ask it to: Inkbox does not watch your inbox in the background, wake the model, or send anything on its own. Note: Voice is not part of this connector. It cannot place, answer, or end calls, and it generates no audio or synthetic speech. Calls are read-only here; the assistant can review the history and text transcripts of calls that already took place.

    Is the Inkbox connector official?

    It is made by Inkbox and carries the Anthropic verified mark in Anthropic’s directory. This site is independent and lists it from the official directory.

    What is the Inkbox MCP server URL?

    https://inkbox.ai/mcp/anthropic. It is a remote MCP server hosted at inkbox.ai. Paste it into Claude as a custom connector, or add it to Claude Code with: claude mcp add --transport http inkbox https://inkbox.ai/mcp/anthropic

    How do I add Inkbox to Claude Code?

    Run "claude mcp add --transport http inkbox https://inkbox.ai/mcp/anthropic" in your terminal, then start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose inkbox and sign in to Inkbox. Add "--scope user" to make it available in every project.

    Do I need a Inkbox account?

    Yes. You sign in to Inkbox when you connect it, and Claude works through that account.

    Can Claude change or delete my Inkbox data?

    Judging by tool names, 15 of its 59 tools can change data, including 3 that delete or remove things. The other 14 only read. In Claude you can choose, per tool, whether Claude must ask before using it.
