Mcp Email
Wire your agent to read and search inbox mail over IMAP and send replies over SMTP for support triage and outbound follow-ups.
Overview
mcp-email is a Grow-phase MCP server that lets AI agents read and search inbox mail over IMAP and send messages over SMTP.
What is this MCP server?
- Read inbox messages via IMAP from the agent
- Search mail to find tickets, receipts, or user threads
- Send email via SMTP for drafts you approve
- Stdio MCP via @infoinlet/mcp-email v0.1.1
- Fits support workflows without building a custom mail bot first
- Server version 0.1.1
- npm package @infoinlet/mcp-email
- stdio transport
What problem does it solve?
Customer email lives outside your repo, so agents cannot summarize threads or draft replies without manual copy-paste.
Who is it for?
Solo founders who run product support from one or two mailboxes and want agent-assisted triage in Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: High-volume marketing blasts, shared-team compliance archiving, or providers that block automation without proper OAuth setup.

After install, your agent can search the inbox and send SMTP mail from configured accounts during support and lifecycle tasks.
- Agent-readable inbox content and search results in chat
- Ability to send SMTP messages from configured accounts
- Faster support drafts grounded in actual thread text

Journey fit
Grow is when founders handle user email, onboarding replies, and billing questions alongside product work. Support is the natural shelf for inbox search, thread context, and sending customer-facing messages from the agent workspace.
How it compares
Mailbox MCP integration, not a full helpdesk SaaS or newsletter studio.
