README

@marlinjai/email-mcp

A unified MCP server for email access across Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and generic IMAP providers.

Features

Multi-provider support -- Gmail (REST API), Outlook (Microsoft Graph), iCloud (IMAP), and generic IMAP/SMTP
OAuth2 authentication -- Browser-based OAuth flows for Gmail and Outlook, with automatic token refresh
Full email client -- Search, read, send, reply, forward, organize, and manage drafts
Batch operations -- Delete, move, or mark hundreds of emails in a single call
Lightweight search -- Compact search results by default (~20KB vs ~1.4MB) with optional full body retrieval
Encrypted credential storage -- AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with machine-derived keys
Provider-native APIs -- Uses Gmail API and Microsoft Graph where available for richer features, falls back to IMAP for universal compatibility

Installation

Install globally from npm:

npm install -g @marlinjai/email-mcp

Or run directly with npx (no install needed):

npx @marlinjai/email-mcp

Quick Start

Run the interactive setup wizard to add your email accounts:

npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup

The wizard will walk you through provider selection and authentication. After each account, it asks if you'd like to add another — so you can set up Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud all in one go.

Add the server to your MCP configuration (.mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "email": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@marlinjai/email-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Start using email tools in Claude Code — search your inbox, send emails, organize messages, and more.

Provider Setup Guides

Gmail

No configuration needed — the setup wizard handles everything using built-in OAuth credentials (PKCE):

npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup
# Select "Gmail" when prompted
# A browser window opens for Google authorization
# Grant the requested permissions and return to the terminal

Note: If you prefer to use your own OAuth app, create a Desktop OAuth 2.0 Client in the Google Cloud Console with the Gmail API enabled.

Outlook

No configuration needed — the setup wizard handles everything using built-in OAuth credentials (PKCE):

npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup
# Select "Outlook" when prompted
# A browser window opens for Microsoft authorization
# Sign in and grant the requested permissions

Note: If you prefer to use your own OAuth app, register one in the Azure Portal with Mail.ReadWrite, Mail.Send, and offline_access permissions.

iCloud

Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in.
Navigate to App-Specific Passwords and generate a new password.
Run the setup wizard:

npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup
# Select "iCloud" when prompted
# Enter your iCloud email address
# Enter the app-specific password you generated

Generic IMAP

Run the setup wizard with your IMAP/SMTP server details:

npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup
# Select "Other IMAP" when prompted
# Enter your IMAP host, port, and credentials
# Optionally enter SMTP host and port for sending
