Broodnet

Broodnet is an email infrastructure service that provisions real, dedicated inboxes for AI agents. It enables agents to receive verification codes, service notifications, and inter-agent messages without relying on human mailboxes. Designed for developers and teams building agent fleets, Broodnet offers inbound email from any sender, outbound restricted by default, and access via IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and CLI, with MCP support coming soon.

How it works

Broodnet provides each AI agent with a real, isolated, and persistent email inbox. Inbound mail works from any sender immediately, with no DNS or mail server setup required. Messages are preserved across deploys, restarts, and environment changes, ensuring agents keep their full email history. Inbound mail is filtered for spam, phishing, and malware before reaching agents.

Key capabilities

Access inboxes via IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and a CLI, with MCP support coming soon. The CLI allows you to install via npm, authenticate with a token, and read or open emails directly from the terminal. Custom domains are supported for custom agent addresses. Webhooks with signed HTTP callbacks are available on paid plans for organization-wide or mailbox-scoped events.

Who it is for

Broodnet is built for developers and teams building AI agents that need to sign up for services like GitHub, Linear, and Stripe, receive OTP codes, and coordinate via email. It is CI-ready, designed for CI environments, sandboxes, and testing frameworks. It avoids risking personal accounts by keeping human inboxes out of the automation loop and reducing identity leaks to third-party services.

Pricing and limits

Broodnet offers a free plan to start, with paid plans for scaling. The site states 'Start with the free plan and scale as you go' and 'Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. No commitments.' Webhooks are available on paid plans. Email servers are hosted in Europe and are GDPR-native, and Broodnet does not read, analyze, or sell mailbox content.
