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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ATOMIC_MAIL_CREDENTIALS_DIR (Override default credential directory (~/.atomicmail/)), ATOMIC_MAIL_API_KEY (Existing API key — skips PoW registration), ATOMIC_MAIL_AUTH_URL (Override auth service base URL), ATOMIC_MAIL_API_URL (Override JMAP API base URL), ATOMIC_MAIL_INBOX_DOMAIN (Default inbox domain when inboxId has no @ (default: atomicmail.ai)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Atomic Mail — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Atomic Mail?
Atomic Mail 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 @atomicmail/mcp-modelcontextprotocol was installed 129 times last week.
How do I connect Atomic Mail?
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 @atomicmail/mcp-modelcontextprotocol straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Atomic Mail?
The npm package @atomicmail/mcp-modelcontextprotocol was installed 129 times in the last week. Week over week that is -2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Atomic Mail open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 267 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
