Imap Mcp Server
Connects Claude to your IMAP and SMTP accounts with encrypted credential storage and connection pooling. Exposes tools for searching emails by sender, subject, date, or status, retrieving full message content with configurable body and attachment limits, and managing folders across multiple accounts. You can mark messages read or unread, move them between folders, delete individual emails or bulk delete, and send new messages or reply to existing threads. Ships with presets for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, and a dozen other providers. Includes a web-based setup wizard that writes encrypted account configs to a shared file, so whether you run via npx, global install, or local clone, your accounts work everywhere. Useful when you need Claude to triage inboxes, draft responses, or automate email workflows without leaving the conversation.
