FAQ

Common questions

Are all tools available on the free tier?

Read and search tools are free. Bulk cleanup, write, and automation tools require Pro ($9/mo) or Power ($25/mo).

Can your AI use these tools autonomously?

Read tools can run autonomously. Write and delete tools always show a simulation preview and require user confirmation.

Is there a rate limit on MCP tool calls?

Free tier has standard rate limits. Pro and Power have higher limits suitable for bulk operations.

Can I call CME tools from code directly?

Yes — CME also exposes a REST API at api.connectmyemail.com for programmatic access without MCP.
