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`
### Environment Variable Configuration
You can also configure the email server using environment variables, which is particularly useful for CI/CD environments like Jenkins. zerolib-email supports both UI configuration (via TOML file) and environment variables, with environment variables taking precedence.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zerolib-email": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-email-server@latest", "stdio"],
"env": {
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_ACCOUNT_NAME": "work",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_FULL_NAME": "John Doe",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_EMAIL_ADDRESS": "john@example.com",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_USER_NAME": "john@example.com",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD": "your_password",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_HOST": "imap.gmail.com",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_PORT": "993",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_HOST": "smtp.gmail.com",
"MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_PORT": "465"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Available Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------- | -------- |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_ACCOUNT_NAME` | Account identifier | `"default"` | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_FULL_NAME` | Display name | Email prefix | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_EMAIL_ADDRESS` | Email address | - | Yes |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_USER_NAME` | Login username | Same as email | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD` | Email password | - | Yes |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_HOST` | IMAP server host | - | Yes |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_PORT` | IMAP server port | `993` | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_SSL` | Enable IMAP SSL | `true` | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_HOST` | SMTP server host | - | Yes |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_PORT` | SMTP server port | `465` | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_SSL` | Enable SMTP SSL | `true` | No |
| `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_START_SSL` | Enable STARTTLS | `false` | No |
For separate IMAP/SMTP credentials, you can also use:
- `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_USER_NAME` / `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_PASSWORD`
- `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_USER_NAME` / `MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_PASSWORD`
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).
Try `make install` to install the virtual environment and install the pre-commit hooks.
Use `uv run mcp-email-server` for local development.
## Releasing a new version
- Create an API Token on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/).
- Add the API Token to your projects secrets with the name `PYPI_TOKEN` by visiting [this page](https://github.com/ai-zerolab/mcp-email-server/settings/secrets/actions/new).
- Create a [new release](https://github.com/ai-zerolab/mcp-email-server/releases/new) on Github.
- Create a new tag in the form `*.*.*`.
For more details, see [here](https://fpgmaas.github.io/cookiecutter-uv/features/cicd/#how-to-trigger-a-release).
