About Wraps
Wraps is a code first email platform that deploys its infrastructure into your own AWS account. It lives in the AWS and TypeScript ecosystem, and it ships as a command line tool, a set of SDKs, and an agent facing MCP server. The core idea is that sending email does not require handing your data or your billing to a third party: one CLI command provisions the resources, and the application talks to them through a typed client. SMS through AWS End User Messaging, and CDN delivery over S3 and CloudFront, follow the same pattern.
