Email infrastructure for AI agents that enables two-way email conversations in a single HTTP call with no SMTP credentials required.
Primitive provides two core primitives for AI agents: a one-verb send-and-await API that sends an email and polls for the threaded reply (120-second default timeout) without SMTP credentials, and a managed *.primitive.email subdomain that runs a JavaScript handler on every inbound message to expose an agent inbox other agents can reach. The service handles SPF, DKIM, DMARC, TLS, bounce handling, and IP reputation. Available via CLI (npm i -g primitive), REST API at api.primitive.dev/v1, MCP endpoint at /mcp, and OpenAPI spec. Primitive is a product of primitive.
