Install samva. Send in one call.

Install samva, pass your key, and call email.send. Then get back to the product. Or copy the setup brief and let your agent write the integration.

import { createClient } from "samva";

const samva = createClient({ apiKey: process.env.SAMVA_API_KEY });

const message = await samva.email.send({
  to: "ada@example.com",

  html: "<p>Order #1042 is on its way.</p>",

#02 — Replies

Replies come back to your app.

Turn on receiving for your domain. A reply to an email you sent arrives at your webhook as message.received, with the conversationId of the email it answers. Answer in the same thread by passing that id.

#03 — Effect-native

The SDK ships an Effect-native client too.

Import Pascal-cased modules from samva/effect/* and call operations directly. Each operation composes into your Effect v4 program.

import { Effect } from "effect";
import * as Client from "samva/effect/client";
import * as Email from "samva/effect/email";

const send = Email.send({ to, subject, html }).pipe(
  Effect.catchTags({
    RateLimitedError: (e) => Effect.sleep(e.retryAfterSeconds * 1_000),
    ValidationError: (e) => Effect.log(e.fields),
  }),
  Effect.provide(Client.layerFetch({ apiKey })),
);
Typed errors
Failures arrive as tagged errors you narrow with catchTags. RateLimitedError carries retryAfterSeconds, ValidationError carries the offending fields.
Layer-based services
Domain operations require Client.Service. Build Client.layerFetch once and provide it around the part of your program that calls Samva.
Schema-driven
Requests and responses are decoded through Schema, so a malformed payload fails at the boundary, not three calls later.

#04 — Agent tooling

Build it with your agent.

Samva publishes setup at /auth.md, so your agent picks the credential and writes the integration. Point it at hosted MCP, or paste the brief below.

COPY FOR YOUR AGENT
$ Read samva.dev/auth.md, create an API key, then follow the quickstart to integrate email.

Questions from developers.

Which languages can I use?

TypeScript has a typed SDK (npm install samva). Anything else calls REST, and the OpenAPI 3.1 spec generates a client in your language.

How do I verify a webhook?

Every event is signed and follows the Standard Webhooks spec. @samva/webhooks checks the signature for you in TypeScript. In other languages, verify with any Standard Webhooks library and your signing secret.

Can my coding agent set it up?

Yes. Point any MCP client that supports OAuth at mcp.samva.dev, or run samva login. A person approves the first credential.

What does it cost?

3,000 emails a month free, no card. Paid plans start at $5 for 15,000.

Send the first email from your editor.

Install samva, pass your key, and call email.send. The response carries the message id you track from there.
