What TempMaily is
TempMaily provides disposable email inboxes for receiving verification codes and signup messages through the web or API. Its free inbox is ready without an account, password, or personal details, and messages appear in the browser as they arrive. Mailboxes only receive email; they cannot send it. The free option allows one shared-domain address at a time, with transient storage and ads, and the inbox and its messages are permanently deleted 24 hours after creation. Incoming mail can include attachments. Premium is designed for people who need addresses to last longer and for developers or QA teams automating email verification. It supports up to 10 addresses at once, custom and dedicated domains, long-term or permanent addresses, and 2GB of email storage. Premium also includes a REST API and MCP server for creating inboxes and reading verification mail programmatically; the MCP server works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP-capable agent frameworks. Premium costs $7.50 a year when billed annually ($90/year), or $9.90 a month. TempMaily uses HTTPS, sanitizes incoming HTML, displays it in a sandboxed frame with scripts disabled, and blocks remote images.
