What the LZ Virtual Mail connector does

The LZ Virtual Mail MCP server connects a LegalZoom Virtual Mail box — a service that receives your physical postal mail at a business address, photographs the envelope and scans the contents — to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible agent. Twenty-eight tools search mail, read scanned text, file and tag items, and request scans or shredding.

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.

Limits

  • One application scope covers everything. The server's RFC 9728 descriptor, fetched 2026-08-24, advertises openid, email, profile, offline_access and legalzoom_mcp. Four are identity claims and a refresh grant. legalzoom_mcp is unqualified — it names no object and no verb, so granting it grants whatever the server implements now and later. No boundary falls between reading a letter and shredding one. The read-only endpoint is the only granularity available, and it lives in your client config rather than in the token.
  • The undo window is a race, not a guarantee. cancel_mail_items_shred works only while the request is still pending. Once the mailroom acts, the paper is gone.
  • No confirmation is enforced server-side. LegalZoom states the server executes any authorized request and places approval responsibility on your MCP client.
  • We could not read tool schemas or annotations. An anonymous request to the endpoint returned HTTP 401 on 2026-08-24, so no tools/list response was seen and no parameter detail is published here. LegalZoom's claim that every tool carries readOnlyHint / destructiveHint is the vendor's, not our observation.
  • The tool surface is explicitly growing. LegalZoom writes that it is "actively developing the MCP server — more tools and capabilities will be gradually added." Today's clean 28-name diff is a snapshot; the REST API already exposes shipment creation and scan-emailing that MCP does not.
  • AI summaries are account-gated. The document type and summary fields in list_mail_items and get_mail_item appear only "on accounts with AI features," per LegalZoom's documentation. Plans and feature availability vary.
  • Usage summaries are admin-only. LegalZoom notes account standing and usage counts are read-only and that usage summaries are limited to account admins, so a non-admin connection sees less of get_inbox_overview than an admin one.
  • OAuth access dies after 7 days of inactivity. LegalZoom states refresh tokens last up to 30 days, but that not using the server for 7 consecutive days automatically removes the OAuth client and invalidates its refresh token, requiring re-authorization. API-key access is unaffected.
  • Rate limited to 300 requests per minute per client IP, which LegalZoom notes is subject to change. Exceeding it throttles requests.
  • An API key reaches every mailbox you can. LegalZoom is explicit that the key is per-user, not per-mailbox, and there is no narrower key.
  • Scanning is not instant. Both scan and shred are performed by mailroom staff. An agent that requests a scan and immediately reads the text will find nothing.
  • We did not call any tool. No tool on this server was invoked, no account was authenticated, and no mail was scanned, shredded or moved in producing this page.

Frequently asked questions

Can the LZ Virtual Mail connector destroy my physical mail?

Yes. Two tools request permanent destruction: request_mail_items_shred, and request_mail_items_scan_then_shred which digitizes an item and then destroys the paper. LegalZoom's documentation calls shredding irreversible and distinguishes it from moving mail to trash. A third tool, cancel_mail_items_shred, undoes a pending request only while the mailroom has not yet acted.

Does the LZ Virtual Mail MCP server have a read-only mode?

Yes, and it is the strongest safety feature on this connector. LegalZoom publishes a separate endpoint at api.earthclassmail.com/v2/mcp/readonly, plus an equivalent X-MCP-ReadOnly header on the standard URL. Both drop every tool that scans, shreds, moves, tags or transfers mail. The directory lists the full-access Claude endpoint, not this one.

Can the connector forward or ship a piece of mail to an address?

No tool among the 28 creates a shipment. get_shipment_by_mail_item only reads tracking for a shipment someone else already created. LegalZoom's own REST API does expose Create Shipment and Get Shipping Rates, and its MCP limitations page states the assistant cannot create or modify shipping addresses. Forwarding stays outside this tool surface.

Does calling a LZ Virtual Mail tool cost money?

Scanning can. LegalZoom's pricing page includes 5 digitized items monthly on the $39 Starter MailBox plan and charges $3 per mail item received over plan limits, plus $0.15 per colour page beyond 20 pages per document. Secure shredding is listed as free. No tool in the 28 reports a credit balance or remaining quota.

What personal data can the LZ Virtual Mail connector read?

The contents of your postal mail. get_mail_item_text returns extracted text from scanned documents, get_mail_item_pdf_url returns temporary links to scanned PDFs, and get_mail_item_envelope_image_url returns exterior photos showing sender details on unopened items. get_current_user returns your name, email and phone. Links expire after roughly an hour.

What OAuth scopes does the LZ Virtual Mail MCP server request?

Five, and only one is application-specific. The server's RFC 9728 descriptor advertises openid, email, profile, offline_access and legalzoom_mcp. The first four are OpenID identity claims and a refresh grant, so legalzoom_mcp alone carries the mail permission. It names no object and no verb, so it cannot separate reading a letter from shredding one.

How do I connect LegalZoom Virtual Mail to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add with the HTTP transport against the server URL, then approve the browser sign-in. LegalZoom documents OAuth Dynamic Client Registration as the recommended path, so no client ID or secret is needed. An API key generated under Settings then Integrations is the documented fallback for clients without OAuth support.

Is LZ Virtual Mail the same connector as LegalZoom?

No. They are separate servers on separate hosts from the same company. LegalZoom's other connector runs at legalzoom.com and dispatches matters to attorneys through request_attorney_review. This one runs at api.earthclassmail.com and manages postal mail. LegalZoom's machine-readable capability catalogue covers the attorney server only and names none of these 28 tools.
