mailindex-mcp runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.
Search, move, mark, delete and draft your real mail over a self-hosted index.
What the code does
We read the source, 6 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
child = subprocess.Popen(sys.argv[2:], stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL) # noqa: S603

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
