# Send a real letter from Claude

Claude can send a paper letter for you through Agent Letter Desk, a connector
that you add once. Claude writes the letter with you and shows you the preview
and the price. Only after your yes do we print the letter, put it in an
envelope and hand it to the post in your name. Letters go to 31 countries: the
United States and 30 countries in Europe.

## How it works

1. **Connect once.** In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, and select
   "Add custom connector". Enter the name Agent Letter Desk and the URL
   `https://agentletterdesk.com/mcp`. Select Add, then Connect. Our sign-in
   page opens. Sign in with Google or with a code that we send by e-mail, enter
   your full name once, and allow the access.
2. **Turn it on in a chat.** Select the + button in the chat, then Connectors,
   and turn on Agent Letter Desk.
3. **Ask.** Tell Claude who gets the letter, the address and what it must say.
   Claude asks for anything that is missing.
4. **Check the preview and the price.** Claude shows a link to the PDF
   preview, the recipient, the postal service, what that service records and the
   price. The PDF is exactly what we print.
5. **Say yes.** Claude asks for permission to use the send tool. Then we print
   and post the letter.

Example requests:

> Write a letter to my landlord at [address]. The heating in my flat has not
> worked since Monday. Ask for a repair this week. Send it as a registered
> letter.

> Send a GDPR access request to [company and address] by registered letter.
> They list no e-mail address for data protection requests.

On Claude's Free plan you can add one custom connector
([Claude documentation](https://claude.com/docs/connectors/custom/remote-mcp)).

**Claude Code:** run
`claude mcp add --transport http letter-desk https://agentletterdesk.com/mcp`,
then type `/mcp` and select Authenticate.

### What our server enforces

These rules are checked by our server, not only by Claude:

- No letter goes out without a preview and a price.
- The send must match the price and the recipient that you saw.
- A send that comes seconds after the preview is refused. A person must have
  time to read.
- The same letter is not sent twice by mistake.
- The sender name comes from your account. Claude cannot change it.

## Which service fits

| Service | What the post records | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Standard letter | The status shows when the letter was handed to the post. The post does not record the delivery. | All 31 countries (US: USPS First-Class Mail) |
| Registered letter | Deutsche Post records the drop into the mailbox, without the recipient's signature. On its own, not proof of delivery in court (see below). | Germany |
| Registered letter | bpost records the posting and the delivery. There is no signature. On its own, the receipt is proof of posting, not proof of delivery. Proof of delivery needs an acknowledgement of receipt (avis de réception). We do not offer it yet. | [Belgium](https://agentletterdesk.com/guides/registered-letter-to-belgium) |
| Registered letter with signature | The post records the delivery and the recipient's signature. | [Spain](https://agentletterdesk.com/guides/registered-letter-to-spain) |
| Certified Mail with return receipt | USPS records the delivery and the signature. You can request the signed return receipt with the tracking number at usps.com. | United States |

Where a registered letter exists, it is the default; you can ask for a standard
letter instead. Where none exists, for example to Austria or the United
Kingdom, the preview names the service and says that the post does not record
the delivery. More detail:
[Send a registered letter from ChatGPT](https://agentletterdesk.com/guides/send-registered-letter-from-chatgpt).

**What the German Einschreiben Einwurf proves in court.** Deutsche Post
records that the carrier put the letter into the mailbox. On its own, that is
not firm proof of delivery: since May 2026, the modernised
Einwurf-Einschreiben gives no prima facie proof of delivery, because the
carrier confirms the drop on the scanner before putting the letter in
([Federal Labour Court, 7 May 2026, 2 AZR 184/25](https://www.beck-aktuell.de/heute-im-recht/rechtsprechung/bag-2AZR18425-arbeitsrecht-kuendigungsschutzklage-einwurf-einschreiben-zustellung-anscheinsbeweis-2026-07-10), in German). In 2025
the court already held that the posting receipt and the online tracking status
are not enough ([2 AZR 68/24](https://www.bundesarbeitsgericht.de/?p=1985317)). We cannot fetch the post's delivery
record for you yet. Where delivery must be proven, for example for a
dismissal, people in Germany have a messenger deliver the letter as a witness,
or have a bailiff serve it ([§ 132 BGB](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgb/__132.html)).

## Price

| Recipient in | Service | 1 page |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Certified Mail with return receipt (USPS) | $14.99 |
| United States | Standard letter (USPS First-Class Mail) | $2.99 |
| Belgium | Registered letter (bpost recommandé / aangetekend) | €13.90 |
| Belgium | Standard letter (bpost Non-priority) | €2.90 |
| Germany | Registered letter (Deutsche Post Einschreiben Einwurf) | €5.90 |
| Germany | Standard letter (Deutsche Post Standardbrief) | €2.90 |
| Spain | Registered letter with signature (Correos carta certificada) | €8.90 |
| Spain | Standard letter (Correos carta ordinaria) | €2.90 |
| Italy, Latvia and Norway | Standard letter | €3.90 |
| Ireland and United Kingdom | Standard letter | €4.90 |
| Malta | Standard letter | €5.90 |
| Austria, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland and 17 more European countries | Standard letter | €2.90 |

Longer letters cost more. The price depends on the country, the service and
the number of pages; the preview shows the full price before you approve.

You pay the price that you approved: our server refuses a send with any other
price. A letter to the United States needs a sender in the United States.

## Delivery time

- **Europe:** printed and handed to the post on the same or the next business
  day. Then the post's usual time: 1 business day in Germany and Austria,
  more for countries served by DHL (see the [table of destinations](https://agentletterdesk.com/#destinations)).
- **United States:** printed within 2 business days, then about 3–5 business
  days with USPS.

## What you get afterwards

- **Status:** ask Claude at any time. It shows where the letter is: accepted,
  printing, or handed to the post.
- **Tracking number:** for registered mail, as soon as the post gives one.
  With it, you follow the delivery on the post's website.
- **Cancel:** you can stop a letter until it is printed.
- **Planned:** an e-mail at each step.

## FAQ

### Is Agent Letter Desk in Claude's connector directory?

Not yet. Add it by URL as a custom connector, as described above.

### Can Claude send a letter without asking me?

Our server refuses a send that does not match the preview, the price and the
recipient, or that comes seconds after the preview. Claude also asks before it
uses the send tool. Do not choose "Always allow" for sending letters, so that
you confirm each one.

### Can I give Claude read-only access?

Yes. When you connect, untick "Prepare, send and cancel letters". Claude can
then only read your account, your letters and their status.

### Who is the sender?

You, the account holder. The name comes from your account and only you can
change it, on the account page. The letter carries your typed name, not a
handwritten signature.

### Which letters are worth sending by post?

Letters where e-mail is not enough: the recipient has no e-mail address, you
need proof that the letter arrived before a deadline, or a law or the
recipient asks for a letter. Examples: a US credit report dispute or debt
dispute by Certified Mail, a notice of a defect to a landlord in Germany, a
GDPR request to a company without an online channel. More:
When a letter is the right choice.

### Which letters do not work?

Letters that need your handwritten signature, for example ending a job or a
flat lease in Germany. Our letters carry your typed name. For these, let
Claude write the text, then print, sign and post the letter yourself.

### What happens to my letter text?

We keep it only until the letter reaches a final state, for example sent or
cancelled. Then we delete it. We do not keep the PDF. See our
[privacy policy](https://agentletterdesk.com/privacy).

## Not legal advice

Agent Letter Desk mails your letter. It does not give legal advice and does not
promise a result.
