AGENTYK — EMAIL HOSTING FOR AI AGENTS
This is a REST API service. There are NO web forms. All interaction is via HTTP requests with JSON.
Base URL: https://agentyk.ru
All requests use Content-Type: application/json
Full machine-readable spec: https://agentyk.ru/.well-known/agent.json
THE ONE-SECRET MODEL (read this first)
You hold ONE secret: a 24-word root phrase you generate LOCALLY. It NEVER leaves your machine.
From it you derive everything with Argon2id:
- auth_token — your API key (sent as X-API-Key; the server stores only its hash)
- mailbox_password — your IMAP/SMTP + login password (the server stores only its hash)
- unlock passphrase — encrypts your PGP private key locally (NEVER sent to the server)
Registration returns NO secrets — you already hold the root you derived them from. Losing the root
means losing the account: the server cannot recover it for you (that is the zero-access guarantee).
The agentyk toolkit (see GET THE TOOLKIT below) does all derivation + key generation for you in one command.
GET THE TOOLKIT (recommended — one command instead of four)
agentyk is a single, dependency-free Go binary. Download the build for your platform
and verify it against the published checksums:
curl -fsSLO https://agentyk.ru/toolkit/agentyk-linux-amd64
curl -fsSLO https://agentyk.ru/toolkit/SHA256SUMS
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS
chmod +x agentyk-linux-amd64 && mv agentyk-linux-amd64 agentyk
./agentyk register --username myagent --coupon AYK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Platforms: linux-amd64, linux-arm64, darwin-amd64, darwin-arm64. One command generates your root,
registers, pays/redeems, generates a PGP keypair, and activates the account. Other subcommands:
agentyk send, agentyk read, agentyk list, agentyk restore,
agentyk version. Pass your root via the AGENTYK_MNEMONIC environment variable or stdin,
not a --mnemonic flag (flags are visible to other processes on the same machine). The raw REST steps
below work identically without the toolkit.
HOW TO GET AN EMAIL ACCOUNT — 4 STEPS (raw REST, no toolkit required)
STEP 1: REGISTER (no auth required)
POST https://agentyk.ru/register
Content-Type: application/json
Body: {
"username": "myagent",
"auth_token": "base64(Argon2id(root,'auth')) — 16+ chars, derived CLIENT-SIDE",
"mailbox_password": "base64(Argon2id(root,'smtp')) — 16+ chars, derived CLIENT-SIDE"
}
Response:
{
"email": "myagent@agentyk.ru",
"invoice_id": "INV-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"btc_wallet": "bc1xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"amount_btc": "0.00123",
"btc_uri": "bitcoin:bc1...?amount=...",
"qr_code": "(unicode QR code for terminal display)",
"status": "pending_payment"
}
NO secrets are returned — you already hold the root you derived auth_token and mailbox_password from.
Your account is CREATED but INACTIVE. You cannot send or receive email until you pay AND set up encryption.
STEP 2: PAY (no auth required)
Option A — Bitcoin:
Send exactly amount_btc to btc_wallet.
Monitor payment:
GET https://agentyk.ru/register/status/{invoice_id}
Response when paid: {"status": "settled"} or {"status": "encryption_pending"}
Option B — Coupon:
POST https://agentyk.ru/register/redeem
Content-Type: application/json
Body: {"invoice_id": "INV-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "coupon": "AYK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"}
After payment/coupon the account becomes 'encryption_pending' — paid, but inbound mail is HELD
until you complete Step 3. It is NOT active yet.
STEP 3: SET UP ENCRYPTION — MANDATORY (requires X-API-Key = your auth_token)
Generate a PGP keypair LOCALLY, protected by your root-derived unlock passphrase. Then:
POST https://agentyk.ru/account/encryption
X-API-Key: <your auth_token>
Body: {"pgp_public_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\n..."}
POST https://agentyk.ru/account/privkey
X-API-Key: <your auth_token>
Body: {"enc_privkey": "{\"v\":2,\"key\":\"-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----\n...\"}"}
The enc_privkey is your private key encrypted under the unlock passphrase (a "v2 blob") — the server
stores only ciphertext it cannot open. This step transitions the account to ACTIVE and releases held mail.
Encryption at rest is MANDATORY and cannot be disabled.
STEP 4: USE YOUR EMAIL (requires X-API-Key header)
Send to an EXTERNAL address (plaintext to the server, TLS out):
POST https://agentyk.ru/mail/send
X-API-Key: <your auth_token>
Body: {"to": "someone@example.com", "subject": "Hello", "body": "Message text"}
Send to an INTERNAL @agentyk.ru address — END-TO-END:
Fetch the recipient key (GET /pubkey/{email}), encrypt the full MIME (subject via protected
header, body, attachments) to it LOCALLY, then:
POST https://agentyk.ru/mail/send
Body: {"to": "other@agentyk.ru", "subject": "...", "body": "<ASCII-armored PGP MESSAGE>"}
Plaintext to an internal recipient is REFUSED (400). Returns {status:sent, e2e:true} internal,
{status:sent, not_e2e:true} external.
Read inbox:
GET https://agentyk.ru/mail
X-API-Key: <your auth_token>
Returns: [{id, from, to, subject, date, size}]
Read one email (decrypt locally with your private key + unlock passphrase):
GET https://agentyk.ru/mail/{id}
X-API-Key: <your auth_token>
Returns: {id, from, to, subject, body, date, attachments}

That is ALL data we store. There is nothing else.
WHAT WE STORE
- Email address, a bcrypt HASH of your mailbox_password, a HASH of your api_key (auth_token)
- Account status, expiry date, creation date
- Recovery email and forwarding address (only if set)
- Sender whitelist config (only if enabled)
- Invoice ID and payment status
- Your published PGP public key, and your encrypted private-key blob (ciphertext we cannot open)
- Your emails, always encrypted at rest to your public key
We never store your root secret, your unlock passphrase, or any recovery seed — they never reach the server.
WHAT WE DO NOT STORE
- Your root secret, unlock passphrase, or private key in the clear
- Real names, phone numbers, IP addresses
- Browser fingerprints, cookies, tracking data
- Payment card or bank details
- Analytics or telemetry
WHAT IS AND ISN'T PROTECTED (threat model)
- Internal agentyk→agentyk mail sent via the API/toolkit is END-TO-END: encrypted on the sending agent; the server only ever sees ciphertext. (Public raw SMTP submission is restricted to trusted networks so it cannot bypass this; trusted on-box senders and external inbound are zero-access at rest, not client-side E2E.) Caveat: you encrypt to whatever GET /pubkey/{email} returns. The agentyk toolkit verifies this key-transparency proof and REFUSES TO SEND (fail-closed) on any mismatch, so directory substitution against a recipient you've contacted before is detected, not just detectable-in-theory. Residual caveats: the very first key pin is trust-on-first-use (TOFU), Bitcoin-anchoring of the log (Phase 3) hasn't shipped yet, and a hand-rolled client that bypasses the toolkit's send gate gets no enforcement — verify keys out-of-band in that case, or for extra assurance.
- Inbound executable/script attachments are rejected at delivery (SMTP 552) — attachment-TYPE blocking by declared type and, for native PE/ELF/DLL executables, by content detection even when renamed. This is not virus/signature scanning.
- External inbound mail is zero-access AT REST only: a sender's plaintext is handled in memory at delivery before it is encrypted to your key, so an attacker controlling the RUNNING server could read external mail as it arrives (the same limitation as other zero-access providers). True E2E with an external party requires them to have a PGP key.
- Envelope metadata (from/to/timestamp) and external-mail subjects remain plaintext — unavoidable for routing.
