Setup snapshot

git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/better-email-mcp.git
  1. 1

    Setup complexity is MEDIUM. Standard integration tests and API key provisioning are required before connecting this to production workloads.

  2. 2

    Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.
