MailMCP is a managed MCP email server that gives your AI agent full access to any IMAP/SMTP mailbox. 15 tools, zero self-hosting, free plan included.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools and data sources. An MCP email server exposes your mailbox as a set of tools your AI can call directly — read, send, search, organize — without any copy-pasting.
MCP is the standard protocol that lets AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor call external tools. Think of it as USB for AI: one connector, any device.
An MCP email server takes your IMAP/SMTP mailbox and exposes it as callable tools. Your AI can then list emails, read content, send replies and manage folders — all programmatically.
MailMCP is a fully managed MCP email server. No code to write, no Docker to configure, no VPS to rent. Add your mailbox, get a URL, connect your AI. Done.

From zero to a working MCP email server in under 2 minutes. No code, no terminal, no configuration files.
Sign up on MailMCP.io in 30 seconds — just email and password. Then add your IMAP/SMTP mailbox. MailMCP auto-detects server settings for Gmail, Outlook, OVH, Infomaniak, LWS, and dozens more. Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256 and stored in the EU.
Enable MCP access on your mailbox. MailMCP generates a unique server URL and OAuth2 credentials. This URL is your personal MCP email server — it exposes all 15 tools for the connected mailbox.
Your MCP server URL:
https://mailmcp.io/mcp/abc123-def456
Paste the MCP server URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, n8n or any MCP-compatible tool. Authorize via OAuth2 and your AI can now read, send, search and organize your emails. The entire process takes under 2 minutes.
Your emails contain sensitive data. MailMCP is built with security at every layer so you can trust your MCP email server.
All connections between MailMCP and your email provider use SSL/TLS encryption. All API traffic is served over HTTPS. No plaintext data ever leaves the server.
Your IMAP/SMTP passwords are encrypted with AES-256 at rest. They are never stored in plaintext and cannot be read even by MailMCP administrators.
MailMCP servers are hosted in France. Your data stays in the European Union. MailMCP is fully GDPR compliant with data export and account deletion available at any time.
Each AI client connection uses OAuth2 with scoped tokens. Every MCP call is logged with timestamp and tool name so you have full visibility on what your AI does with your mailbox.
Every plan includes all 15 MCP tools. No feature gating. The free plan is perfect for testing, the Pro plan for production use.
