Runs over stdio with credentials from environment variables, or in HTTP mode for multi-user setups with OAuth 2.1. Most providers work with an app password. TypeScript/Node; also published as a Docker image.
- Auto-triage support emails by priority and route to Slack channels

Reviewer notes
Auto-scanned review. These are observations, not a security certification.
Auto-assessment from April sweep — baseline scores pending hands-on review.
2026-04-18: Approved in April sweep: New and small but has a clear description and recent commits — worth tracking.
Things to check
- Requires valid IMAP/SMTP credentials and proper email server access; complex folder hierarchies or heavily filtered accounts may need configuration tuning. Security risk if Claude instance is compromised—email credentials should be managed via secure env vars or credential stores.
