Early accessMoosewave MCP

Hand this template to an AI assistant when MCP opens.

Connecting an AI assistant to a Moosewave workspace opens with early access. Public signup and MCP connections are not open yet, so there is nothing to connect today. The brief is ready for that moment: it names the job, the structure to keep, and where to stop.

Written for when MCP opens: it asks for a new draft and stops before sending.

Read the complete brief

Open the public Moosewave reference at https://moosewave.com/templates/reading-request-email-template/ and inspect it before changing anything. A plain Markdown copy is at https://moosewave.com/templates/reading-request-email-template.md.

Adapt this reading request template for the intended audience. Preserve every supplied fact, required action, and footer; save a draft only.

Keep the message's job: Smart-meter reading failed and needs a customer photo to prepare the bill.

Starting copy: subject "We could not read your electricity meter"; preheader "Send one clear photo by Tuesday or we will prepare an estimated bill."; headline "One photo can replace an estimated reading"; primary action "Upload my meter photo".

Preserve these structural elements: State or event context, Plain-language explanation, Three labelled facts, Primary and secondary action, and Support or privacy footer.

Visual reference: background #f0eee7, text #252a26, accent #9a5837, and a Sora / Source Serif 4 type pairing mapped to the workspace's licensed fonts.

Before writing, ask me for the audience, the sending brand, and any facts that must replace the fictional sample details.

Return the subject, preheader, change summary, and desktop and mobile previews for review. Save the result as a new draft. Do not send.
