Apple Mail MCP Server

Star History

An MCP server that gives AI assistants full access to Apple Mail -- read, search, compose, organize, and analyze emails via natural language. Built with FastMCP.

Quick Install

Prerequisites: macOS with Apple Mail configured, Python 3.10+

Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)

Two commands — gets you the MCP server, /email-management slash command, and the Email Management Expert skill:

claude plugin marketplace add patrickfreyer/apple-mail-mcp
claude plugin install apple-mail@apple-mail-mcp

Then restart Claude Code.

Other Install Methods

uvx (zero install, MCP server only)

claude mcp add apple-mail -- uvx mcp-apple-mail

Or for Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-mail": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-apple-mail"]
    }
  }
}

pip install (MCP server only)

pip install mcp-apple-mail
claude mcp add apple-mail -- mcp-apple-mail

npx skills (skill only, for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents)

Installs the Email Management Expert skill via the open skills CLI. The skill does not include the MCP server, so install that too (e.g. with uvx above):

claude mcp add apple-mail -- uvx mcp-apple-mail

Add -g to install the skill globally, or -a <agent> to target a specific agent.
