What is Tempx?
Tempx is a free temporary email service. It gives you a real, working email address that you use for a short time and then discard — ideal for confirmation links, verification codes and testing, without giving out your personal address.
The address is fully functional: messages arrive within a few seconds. When you are finished, close the tab — everything is removed automatically.
How it works
Three steps, no account:
- Get an address. Pick any name for your inbox — or use a private random address instead. It works the moment you choose it; see it at the top of this page.
- Use it. Paste the address into a form, or send a message to it from another account. Email arrives in your Tempx inbox.
- Read and move on. Open the message you need. Everything is removed automatically after the retention period, or delete it yourself.
Why people use temporary email
Keep your inbox clean
Sign-ups, trials and downloads often lead to weeks of marketing email. A temporary address absorbs it instead of your main account.
Reduce your exposure
The less your primary address is spread across the web, the less it turns up in data breaches and marketing lists.
Test and develop
Developers and QA teams use disposable addresses to test registration, password-reset and notification email.
One-time reads
Sometimes you just need one link or code, once. A throwaway inbox is the quickest way to receive it.
Built for AI agents
Your coding agent or automation can have its own inbox. Tempx ships a read-only MCP server, so agents receive verification links and read mail directly — no forwarding by hand.
Read-only by design
Six tools: list inboxes, open one, list messages, read a message, search, and wait_for_email. Nothing can send, delete or change anything.
Scoped, revocable tokens
Each connection is limited to a single inbox, expires on your schedule, and can be revoked in one click. Only a hash of the token is stored.
Works with any MCP client
Create a connection on the account page, paste the config into your client, and the agent is ready. Streamable HTTP with Bearer auth.
Client configuration (get your token on the account page):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tempx": {
"url": "https://tempx.uk/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer tmcp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" }
}
}
}
What to know before you use it
Temporary email is short-lived and not confidential. Do not use a Tempx address for anything important or sensitive.
- Tempx is receive-only — you cannot send email or reply.
- Messages are permanently deleted after the retention period shown in the app (7 days for a named inbox, 1 hour for a random one). Deleted mail cannot be recovered.
- Do not use it for banking, government, work or school accounts, or for password recovery / two-factor codes you may need later.
- Email is not private in transit — and a named inbox is readable by anyone who knows its name. Treat anything sent to a temporary address as potentially readable by someone else.
- Using disposable email to evade bans, abuse services or break the law is not allowed — see our Terms.
Common questions
- Is Tempx free?
- Yes. Tempx is free to use and needs no account.
- How long do messages last?
- Messages in a named inbox are kept for 7 days; in a random private inbox, 1 hour. The current retention period is always shown in the app.
- Can I pick my own address?
- Yes — type any name and open that inbox. It is public: anyone who knows the name can read it. For anything sensitive, use a random private address instead.
- Can I send email with Tempx?
- No. Tempx only receives email.
