It is available with a Quill-issued key. Quill ranks urgent threads with a reason, such as a failed payment, and keeps a record of every reply an agent sent, including whether the mail actually left. Through Claude, Quill's tools include list_inboxes, list_threads, send_email and mailbox_connect.

In Claude Code, add it with: claude mcp add --transport http quill https://quill.advisorppc.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_QUILL_KEY". Treat the key like a password: never paste it into a chat, a shared file or a screenshot. To connect a mailbox from Claude, ask for it: mailbox_connect hands back a one-time connect page, and Claude never asks for your mailbox password. You finish the connection on that page.

For a mailbox on your own domain, Quill's Connect tab guides the DNS records the domain needs and checks what is published today. It never writes to your DNS and never asks for a registrar login; you apply the records yourself. Quill does not take a password for Google or Microsoft mailboxes; those need their own sign-in.

Second: "List this week's threads in my main inbox, urgent ones first." Third: "Summarise the thread from the customer who wrote about a refund." Fourth: "Draft a short, friendly reply to that customer here in the chat." The fifth sends mail: Claude calls send_email; check your Quill settings first. Quill does not ask for a confirm before send_email runs, so read the draft yourself before you ask Claude to send it. If you want a pause on the WordPress side, turn on Hold for approval in Quill Mail.

If Claude says the mailbox is not connected, ask for a new connect page, or connect your accounts at https://mcp.advisorppc.com/dashboard. If a reply shows as filed in Sent but not delivered, Quill says so in the record; check the domain records on the Connect tab. Support: support@advisorppc.com.

On Monday it asks Claude for this week's threads and sees two urgent ones: a failed card payment and a burst pipe follow-up. It asks for a summary of the burst pipe thread, then a short draft in the chat, and edits one line itself. Before asking Claude to send, the owner checks the Quill settings and reads the draft once more, because the send happens as soon as Claude calls it. This example is invented to show the flow, not a measured result. The firm reviews the record afterwards to confirm the mail left. ## Try it Which inboxes are connected? Read only; do not send anything. ## Before you move on - Keep the Quill key out of chats and screenshots. - Connect a mailbox from a one-time page, never a password in chat. - Read every draft yourself before asking Claude to send. ## Terms to know - **Bearer key:** A secret your client sends with each request to prove it may use the connector. - **Mailbox connection:** Quill's authorized access to read and send from your mailbox. - **DNS record:** A published setting that tells other mail servers how to trust your domain. ## Sources and review dates - [AdvisorPPC dashboard: Quill (sign-in required)](https://advisorppc.com/app/quill) (checked 2026-10-24) - [AdvisorPPC home: connectors](https://advisorppc.com/) (checked 2026-10-24) - [AdvisorPPC connector docs: Troubleshooting](https://mcp.advisorppc.com/docs/troubleshooting) (checked 2026-10-24) - [AdvisorPPC pricing](https://advisorppc.com/pricing) (checked 2026-10-24)
