An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that puts your **Instantly.ai**
cold-email workspace in front of an AI client. Ask Claude for last week's reply
rate, load enriched leads into a campaign, triage the Unibox, pause a mailbox
that's burning reputation — 40 tools over the Instantly v2 API.

**The point of the project is the safety model.** Every write is gated behind an
explicit `confirm`, autonomy is a tiered policy with volume caps and a
hard-block list, and all of it is enforced in code — not asked for in a prompt.
An agent cannot talk its way past a cap, because the cap is an `if` statement.

```
You:    "Launch the Design Partners campaign."
Claude: → launch_campaign(campaign_id="camp-1")
        ← "Would LAUNCH (activate) campaign camp-1 — it will start sending.
           AUTONOMY_LEVEL=manual — every write needs confirm=true.
           Re-call with confirm=true to execute."
        This will start sending from your mailboxes. Confirm?
You:    "Yes."
Claude: → launch_campaign(campaign_id="camp-1", confirm=true)   ← now it runs
```

The preview costs **zero HTTP calls**, so nothing reaches Instantly until you say so.

- **Transport:** local stdio by default — no hosting, no public URL, no token. One env var switches it to hosted HTTP/SSE ([Hosting](docs/hosting.md)).
- **Auth:** your Instantly v2 key, read from `INSTANTLY_API_KEY`, never hardcoded and never logged.
- **Verified:** paths and payload shapes checked against the live v2 reference; every place the real API differs from the obvious…
