LetterAgent

Mail physical letters by just asking your AI assistant.


Frequently Asked Questions

How it works

How do I send a letter online?
Ask an AI assistant that has LetterAgent connected — it will draft your letter, show you a preview, and get you an exact quote. You approve the price, pay through a one-time Stripe Checkout link, and after payment goes through, your letter is printed and mailed. There's no account to create and no app to download.

Can I mail a letter without a printer?
Yes — that's exactly what LetterAgent is for. You never need a printer, envelopes, or stamps; just tell your AI assistant what the letter should say and who it's going to. It handles the drafting, quoting, and payment link, and the letter is printed and mailed after you pay.

Where do I upload my letter on your website?
There's no upload form on the website — LetterAgent works through an AI assistant that has it connected, or through the REST API for developers. Just describe or paste your letter text into the chat with your assistant and it takes care of the rest.

Do I need an account to use LetterAgent?
No. There's no signup, no login, and no API key — you simply pay per letter through a one-time Stripe Checkout link. Nothing is stored on file and there's nothing to manage.

How does the AI assistant mailing flow work?
Your assistant drafts the letter and shows you a preview, then gets a quote with the verified page count and the exact price. You approve that exact price, the job is created, and you get a Stripe Checkout link to pay. After payment goes through, your letter is printed and mailed.

What do I need before I can send a letter?
Just three things: what you want the letter to say, the recipient's name and address (in the US or Canada), and a way to pay online. Your assistant handles everything else — drafting, quoting, and the payment link.

Can I send a letter from my phone?
Yes, as long as you can chat with an AI assistant that has LetterAgent connected. There's nothing to install — the whole flow happens in the conversation, and payment is through a standard Stripe Checkout page that works on any phone browser.

Is there an app I need to download?
No app and no software to install. LetterAgent lives inside AI assistants and the API — you interact with it through conversation, and pay via a Stripe Checkout link in your browser.

How do I pay for a letter?
Each letter is paid individually through a one-time Stripe Checkout link — the same secure checkout used by millions of online stores. You pay by card, and there's no account, subscription, or stored payment method involved.

Do you keep my credit card on file?
No. Every payment goes through a one-time Stripe Checkout session, and LetterAgent never sees or stores your card details. Each letter is a separate, one-off payment.

How do I know what my letter will cost before I pay?
Before anything is created, your assistant gets a quote with the verified page count and the exact final price, and shows it to you for approval. For Canadian letters, any applicable tax is shown as its own line at checkout. You never pay a price you haven't approved.

Can I see a preview of my letter before it's mailed?
Yes. Your assistant shows you a preview of the letter content before getting the quote, so you can review the wording. Only after you approve both the content and the exact price does the job get created and the payment link issued.

For AI assistants and developers

What is the MCP server URL for LetterAgent?
https://api.getletteragent.com/mcp. It speaks Streamable HTTP with JSON-RPC 2.0 and exposes four tools: quote_letter, create_letter_job, get_job_status, and cancel_letter.

What tools does the LetterAgent MCP server have?
Four: quote_letter (price a letter with verified page count), create_letter_job (create the job and get the Stripe Checkout link), get_job_status (check job and tracking status), and cancel_letter (cancel while the fulfilment window is open). Full schemas are documented at api.html.

Do I need an API key to use LetterAgent?
No. There's no API key, no signup, and no authentication — the API and MCP server are open, and payment happens per letter through Stripe Checkout. It's designed so any AI assistant can use it without credentials.

Where is the API documentation?
At api.html. It covers the REST API at https://api.getletteragent.com/v1, the MCP server, request and response formats, and the end-to-end flow.

What is the REST API base URL?
https://api.getletteragent.com/v1. It offers quotes and job management over plain HTTPS, with the same pricing and flow as the MCP server.

How does quote-then-approve protect against price surprises?
The quote verifies the actual page count and returns the exact final price before anything is created or charged. The job — and the payment link — only happens after the user approves that exact price, so the amount can never drift between quote and payment. For Canadian letters, the provincial tax is shown as its own checkout line.

Can I check the status of a letter through the API?
Yes — get_job_status on the MCP server (or the equivalent REST endpoint) returns the job's current status, including tracking status for certified and registered mail. Your assistant can poll it or check on demand.

Can I cancel a letter programmatically?
Yes, with cancel_letter (or the REST equivalent), as long as the fulfilment window is still open. Once printing has started, cancellation is no longer possible — the status check will tell you where the job stands.

Privacy, security, and payments

What information do you collect about me?
Only what's needed to provide the service: your letter content, the sender and recipient addresses, and whatever Stripe needs to process your one-time payment. There's no account, no profile, and no data collected beyond what's required to print and mail your letter.

Do you store my credit card?
No. Payments go through Stripe Checkout, and LetterAgent never sees or stores your card number. Each letter is a separate one-time payment with nothing kept on file.

Who processes payments for LetterAgent?
Stripe — the same payment processor used by millions of online businesses. You pay through Stripe's secure Checkout page, and your card details never touch LetterAgent's systems.

Is my letter content private?
Your letter is used only to provide the service — printing and mailing it. LetterAgent follows a minimal-data principle: it collects only what's needed for the service and nothing more. For questions about data handling, contact hello@getletteragent.com.

Do I need to create an account to send a letter?
No account, no signup, no password, no API key. You approve a quote, pay a one-time Stripe Checkout link, and the letter is mailed. That's the whole relationship.

Will I get a receipt for my payment?
Yes — Stripe sends a receipt for every Checkout payment. Your assistant also shows you the exact quoted price before you pay, so you always know what you're approving.

What if I need help or something goes wrong?
Contact hello@getletteragent.com — that's the support address for LetterAgent. Your assistant can also check a job's status or cancel it while the fulfilment window is still open.

Do you sell my data?
No. LetterAgent collects only the minimum needed to print and mail your letter, and doesn't sell data. There's no account or advertising profile to sell from in the first place.
