About mcp-mail-server
yunfeizhu/mcp-mail-server
A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides IMAP and SMTP email functionality for AI assistants like Claude in Cursor IDE. Built with TypeScript and optimized for easy deployment via npm/npx.
This tool helps AI assistants like Claude or Cursor interact with your email inbox and send messages. It takes natural language commands about emails (e.g., "show me unread emails from today") and performs actions like searching, reading, managing, and sending emails. The output is email content, attachment details, or status confirmations, empowering individual AI assistant users to manage their communications.
