# TextForge — Human Approval for AI Email

AI agents can read your inbox, draft replies, and manage threads — but nothing sends without you.

**[Start free trial →](https://textforge.net/login)** — 7 days free, no credit card required.

## What It Does

TextForge is a hosted MCP server that gives AI agents access to Gmail with a mandatory human approval step on every outgoing email. Your agent handles the reading, searching, and drafting. You review and approve before anything sends.

Works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.
