Wh1isper/mcp-email-server

Full-featured, multi-account MCP email server for Windows, macOS, and Linux—read, search, organize, and send email via IMAP and SMTP.

What it solves

It provides a way for AI assistants (MCP clients) to interact with email accounts. It bridges the gap between LLM-powered clients and standard email protocols like IMAP and SMTP, allowing AI to read, search, organize, and send emails on a user's behalf.

How it works

The project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It connects to email providers via IMAP (for reading and searching) and SMTP (for sending). It offers a configuration UI for users to set up their accounts and credentials securely, and it can be run as a background process (stdio transport) that the MCP client communicates with to execute email-related tasks.

Who it’s for

Users of MCP-compatible AI clients who want their AI assistant to have direct access to their email for productivity and automation.

Highlights

  • Multi-protocol support: Uses IMAP and SMTP for broad compatibility with email providers.
  • Secure configuration: Includes a dedicated UI for managing account settings and credentials.
  • Cross-platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Flexible storage: Supports SQLite-backed managed storage for account settings.
