Openagentemail MCP Server

Open communication and task handoffs for AI agents. Self-hosted email, task threads, approvals, and webhooks over MCP and REST - for the agents you already use. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with docker, email and imap and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
