Capabilities

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.

Touches key and credential files Dockerfile:5

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add proton-mail-mcp -- npx -y @alexendros/proton-mail-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PROTON_BRIDGE_HOST (Hostname or IP of the Proton Mail Bridge (default: 127.0.0.1 for local, or container hostname in compose).), PROTON_IMAP_PORT (IMAP port exposed by Proton Mail Bridge (default: 1143).), PROTON_SMTP_PORT (SMTP port exposed by Proton Mail Bridge (default: 1025).), PROTON_USERNAME (Bridge username (your Proton Mail address).), PROTON_PASSWORD (Bridge-generated app password (NOT your Proton account password).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Proton Mail MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Proton Mail MCP?
Proton Mail MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @alexendros/proton-mail-mcp.
How do I connect Proton Mail MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @alexendros/proton-mail-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Proton Mail MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
