IMAP / SMTP

Connect any IMAP/SMTP email to your AI

OVH, LWS, Infomaniak, Ionos, Hostinger, O2switch, Orange, Free.fr... MailMCP bridges any IMAP/SMTP mailbox to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every MCP-compatible AI tool.

AI integrations only support Gmail and Outlook. What about everyone else?

Most AI tools that handle email only connect to Gmail or Microsoft 365 via their APIs. If your professional email is hosted at OVH, LWS, Infomaniak, Ionos, or any other IMAP provider, you are left behind. No native plugin, no official connector, no solution — until now.

The IMAP problem

  • ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor have no native IMAP support
  • OVH, LWS, Infomaniak emails are invisible to AI tools
  • Orange, Free, SFR addresses have zero AI integrations
  • Millions of professional email users excluded from AI revolution

The MailMCP solution

  • Works with ANY IMAP/SMTP email provider
  • Connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n and more
  • Auto-detects settings for 20+ providers
  • Standard MCP protocol — no vendor lock-in

Why IMAP users choose MailMCP

MailMCP was built specifically to solve the IMAP-to-AI gap. Here is what you get.

Universal IMAP compatibility

If your email provider supports IMAP and SMTP (virtually all do), MailMCP can connect it to AI. No proprietary API required, no special plugin needed. Standard IMAP is all it takes.

Zero email storage

MailMCP never stores your email content on its servers. Data transits in real-time between your IMAP server and the AI tool. Your emails stay where they are — on your hosting provider.

Switch AI tools freely

MailMCP uses the open MCP standard. Today you use Claude, tomorrow ChatGPT, next week Cursor — your email connection stays the same. No reconfiguration, no vendor lock-in.

15 email tools for your AI

Read, send, reply, search, schedule, flag, move, create folders — MailMCP exposes 15 email tools via MCP. Your AI gets the full power of an email client, regardless of your IMAP provider.

Free plan to get started

Start with the free plan: 1 mailbox, 20 MCP calls per day. Enough to test MailMCP with your provider and see the power of AI-assisted email. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited mailboxes and 500 calls/day starting at 1.99 EUR/month.

Frequently asked questions

Can I connect my OVH email to Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. MailMCP supports any IMAP/SMTP email provider, including OVH. Enter your OVH IMAP server (ssl0.ovh.net, port 993) and SMTP server (ssl0.ovh.net, port 465) in the MailMCP dashboard, enable MCP, and connect to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-compatible AI tool.
Does MailMCP work with LWS, Infomaniak and other French hosting providers?
Yes. MailMCP works with all French hosting providers including LWS (mail.lwspanel.com), Infomaniak (mail.infomaniak.com), O2switch (mail.o2switch.net) and PlanetHoster. Any provider that offers standard IMAP/SMTP access is compatible.
What IMAP/SMTP ports should I use?
Most providers use IMAP port 993 (SSL/TLS) and SMTP port 465 (SSL/TLS). Some providers like Outlook use SMTP port 587 (STARTTLS). Protonmail via Bridge uses IMAP 1143 and SMTP 1025 locally. MailMCP auto-detects the correct ports for most providers.
Can I connect emails from Orange, Free or SFR to an AI?
Yes. French ISP email addresses (Orange, Free.fr, SFR) all support IMAP/SMTP. Add them to MailMCP using their respective IMAP servers (imap.orange.fr, imap.free.fr, imap.sfr.fr) and you can connect them to any AI tool via MCP.
Is my email data secure with MailMCP?
MailMCP never stores your email content. Data transits directly between your IMAP server and the AI tool. Connections are secured with OAuth2 + PKCE, and you can revoke AI access instantly from your dashboard. Servers are hosted in France, GDPR compliant.
