# Welcome

OpenEmail is an email client built around domains you own rather than mailboxes we rent you. This is the whole product, written down.

## What OpenEmail is

You point a domain at OpenEmail and every address you create on it becomes real. With catch-all switched on, so do the ones you have not created. One inbox holds all of them, and you send from any address on any verified domain.

- Priced per workspace rather than per seat, so adding a colleague to a paid plan never changes the bill.
- Operable by software as well as by people: the MCP server exposes the mailbox to any MCP client.

## Where to go next

- [Connect a domain](https://openemail.uk/docs/get-started/domain.md): The one step everything else depends on.
- [Knowledge base](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/addresses.md): Every feature in the product, one page each.
- [MCP server](https://openemail.uk/docs/mcp/overview.md): Connect a client and sign in, with no key to paste. The endpoints, the tools it registers, and the one caveat.
- [API](https://openemail.uk/docs/api/overview.md): Every resource in the mailbox over HTTP, with keys, scopes and idempotency. On in every environment.
