Connect OpenClaw to your emails
Why connect OpenClaw to your emails?
OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous AI agent that runs locally on your machine. It can manage emails, calendars, messaging apps and other digital tools on your behalf. Unlike chat-based AI assistants, OpenClaw operates autonomously — you set goals and it executes multi-step tasks independently. For email management, this means it can triage your inbox, respond to routine messages and flag important conversations without constant supervision.
By connecting MailMCP to OpenClaw, you give the agent secure access to your IMAP/SMTP mailbox via the MCP protocol. OpenClaw can then read your emails, search for specific messages, draft and send replies, schedule emails for later, manage folders and organize your communications. All of this happens locally on your machine, with MailMCP handling the secure email bridge.
The integration is straightforward: add MailMCP as an MCP server in OpenClaw's configuration file, provide your credentials, and the agent gains full access to 15 email tools. OpenClaw's autonomous capabilities combined with MailMCP's email toolkit create a powerful personal email assistant that works around the clock.
