MailKite Homebrew tap

Homebrew formulae for MailKite — receive email as a webhook, send over a verified domain, give an AI agent its own inbox.

Install

brew install mailkite/tap/mailkite

That single command taps this repo and installs the mailkite CLI (the npm package @mailkite/cli). Then:

mailkite login --email you@example.com
mailkite domains add mail.myapp.ai
mailkite send --from hello@mail.myapp.ai --to you@example.com \
  --subject "It works" --html "<p>Hi from MailKite</p>"
mailkite messages tail

Full command reference: https://mailkite.dev/docs/cli.

Upgrade

brew update
brew upgrade mailkite

Uninstall

brew uninstall mailkite
brew untap mailkite/tap   # optional

Why a tap and not homebrew-core?

Homebrew requires self-submitted software to have at least 225 GitHub stars before it is accepted into homebrew-core. Until the MailKite CLI crosses that bar, this tap is the official Homebrew distribution channel; brew install mailkite/tap/mailkite works exactly the same for you either way.

Alternatives

npx @mailkite/cli --help     # no install
npm i -g @mailkite/cli       # install via npm
