MCP server for Email (IMAP/SMTP) - composite tools optimized for AI agents

7 starsMIT (commercial OK)Free
Early Access — 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.

Enables AI agents to read, search, and send emails programmatically via IMAP/SMTP, reducing manual email handling and automating notification workflows without custom integration work.

Engineering teams using AI agents to automate incident notifications, support ticket triage, or cross-system alert aggregation.
