IMAP and SMTP via MCP Server
- **Github repository**: <https://github.com/ai-zerolab/mcp-email-server/>
- **Documentation** <https://ai-zerolab.github.io/mcp-email-server/>
## Installation
### Manual Installation
We recommend using [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) to manage your environment.
Try `uvx mcp-email-server@latest ui` to config, and use following configuration for mcp client:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zerolib-email": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-email-server@latest", "stdio"]
}
}
}
```
This package is available on PyPI, so you can install it using `pip install mcp-email-server`
After that, configure your email server using the ui: `mcp-email-server ui`
Then you can try it in [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download). If you want to intergrate it with other mcp client, run `$which mcp-email-server` for the path and configure it in your client like:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zerolib-email": {
"command": "{{ ENTRYPOINT }}",
"args": ["stdio"]
}
}
}
```
If `docker` is avaliable, you can try use docker image, but you may need to config it in your client using `tools` via `MCP`. The default config path is `~/.config/zerolib/mcp_email_server/config.toml`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zerolib-email": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-it", "ghcr.io/ai-zerolab/mcp-email-server:latest"]
}
}
}
```
### Installing via Smithery
To install Email Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@ai-zerolab/mcp-email-server):
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @ai-zerolab/mcp-email-server --client claude
```
## Development
This project is managed using [uv](https://github.com/ai-zerolab/uv).
