MailHog in one click.
MailHog is a smtp email capture server for local development you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.
What is MailHog?
MailHog is a development SMTP server written in Go that captures outgoing emails and presents them in a web UI. It provides an HTTP API for inspecting captured messages and supports MailDir storage.
Run MailHog in Even
Even Stacks launches MailHog as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.
- Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
- Find MailHog in the one-click services and click Launch.
- Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8026, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at
https://mailhog.localhost.
Drive MailHog with your AI agents
Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate MailHog directly, at both the UI level and the container level.
Through the Even MCP an agent can drive its web UI, create channels or users, and post messages. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up MailHog and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.
