Email MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Email MCP?

Email 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 @marlinjai/email-mcp was installed 236 times last week.

How do I connect Email 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 @marlinjai/email-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Email MCP?

The npm package @marlinjai/email-mcp was installed 236 times in the last week. Week over week that is -68%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Email MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 22 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.
