### Description (declared)

# MCP Agent Mail

![Agent Mail Showcase](screenshots/output/agent_mail_showcase.gif)

> "It's like gmail for your coding agents!"

## Fork Improvements

This fork extends the [original MCP Agent Mail](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/mcp_agent_mail) with several production-ready enhancements:

- **🚀 Lazy Loading System (Phase 2)** - Reduces token usage by ~65% with core mode (10 essential tools vs. 27), plus meta-tools (`list_extended_tools`, `call_extended_tool`) for dynamic tool discovery and invocation
- **🎯 Globally Unique Agent Names** - Prevents agent name confusion across projects with database-enforced uniqueness, flexible coerce/strict enforcement modes, and automatic migration for existing deployments
- **⚡ Simplified Registration** - `register_agent` now auto-creates projects, eliminating the need for separate `ensure_project` calls in most workflows
- **🔧 Flexible Project Keys** - Supports any string identifier (repo names, custom IDs) as project keys, not just absolute paths
- **💬 Contact-Free Messaging** - Direct agent-to-agent messaging without contact request approval, streamlining multi-agent coordination

These improvements make the system more efficient, flexible, and easier to use in production multi-agent workflows.

---

A mail-like coordination layer for coding agents, exposed as an HTTP-only FastMCP server. It gives agents memorable identities, an inbox/outbox, searchable message history, and voluntary file reservation "leases" to avoid stepping on each other.

Think of it as asynchronous email + directory + change-intent signaling for your agents, backed by Git (for human-auditable artifacts) and SQLite (for indexing and queries).

Status: Under active development. The design is captured in detail in `project_idea_and_guide.md` (start with the original prompt at the top of that file).

## Why this exists

Modern projects often run multiple coding agents at once (backend, frontend, scripts, infra). Without a shared coordination fabri…
