Emails MCP Server

Give your AI agent an inbox. A hosted Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, Cursor, or any MCP‑compatible client read, search, send, organize, and schedule email through your existing mailboxes - without ever storing your mail.

Teams that want a hosted email endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.

before you install - you'll need

IMAP_PASSWORD

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add albretsen-mcpemails --transport http https://mcpemails.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "albretsen-mcpemails": {
      "url": "https://mcpemails.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
