Available tools 56

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

check_email_config

Check if email providers are configured, guide setup if needed

create_email_account

Create an email account with SMTP credentials. Returns SMTP password once — save it. The account can then send/receive via this server.

create_email_rule

Create a rule that triggers actions when incoming emails match conditions. Actions: forward, auto_reply, webhook, flag, move, mcp_tool, log, reject.

delete_email_account

Delete an email account and revoke its SMTP credentials

delete_email_rule

Delete an email rule by ID

get_email_usage

Get email usage statistics — delivery rate, bounce rate, per-domain breakdown, top bounce reasons. Reads from persistent stats.

list_email_accounts

List all configured IMAP email accounts. Shows default and named accounts (work, personal, etc.).

list_email_accounts_managed

List all email accounts with SMTP credentials (optionally filtered by domain)

list_email_rules

List all email rules with their match conditions, actions, and hit counts

update_email_rule

Update an existing email rule (enable/disable, change match/actions/priority)

start

start_domain_verification

Begin a domain-verification window: temporarily set the target domain's MX to verify.setip.io, start (or reuse) the EmailMCP SMTP receiver on :25, and forward any inbound mail for *@domain to forward_to so a human can grab a verification code from the provider (Apple/Google/etc). Auto-tears down after ttl_minutes.

start_health_monitor

Start monitoring the provisioned email server — checks tunnel, SMTP, DNS, and IP reputation every 60 seconds. Auto-restarts on failure.

start_idle_watch

Start real-time IMAP IDLE watching on email accounts. Get push notifications when new emails arrive. Works with Gmail, iCloud, Office365, etc.

start_smtp_receiver

Start the SMTP server to receive forwarded corporate emails

domain

get_domain_dns_records

Get the DNS records a customer needs to add for a sending domain

get_domain_verification_emails

List mails received in the verification window for a given domain (e.g. to find Apple's verification code without checking the forward_to mailbox).

get_domain_verification_status

Show active verification windows, the receiver state, and TTLs.

mailbox

create_mailbox

Create a new local mailbox for receiving email (autonomous mode). Each address gets its own inbox accessible via MCP tools.

delete_mailbox

Delete a local mailbox and all its stored emails (autonomous mode)

get_mailbox_status

Get status information for an email mailbox. If IMAP is configured in .env, no credentials needed. Use "account" to pick a named account.

provision

provision_resume

Resume provisioning from where you left off. Automatically detects the current phase and advances: WireGuard connection → DNS setup → TLS → verification. Run this after each user action (connecting WireGuard, adding DNS records).

provision_start

Phase 1: Create a cloud VPS with dedicated IP. Generates WireGuard config. Returns the IP and instructions to connect. Supports DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, OVH.

provision_status

Show current provisioning state — which phases are complete, what to do next

sending

add_sending_domain

Add a customer sending domain. Generates DKIM keys and returns the 4 DNS records the customer needs to add. Works like SendGrid domain authentication — self-hosted.

list_sending_domains

List all configured sending domains with their verification status

remove_sending_domain

Remove a sending domain and its DKIM keys

stop

stop_domain_verification

Tear down an active domain-verification window: restore MX (snapshot or supplied real_mx_target), remove the per-domain forwarder. Stops the receiver if no other windows remain.

stop_idle_watch

Stop IMAP IDLE watching on an account (or all accounts)

stop_smtp_receiver

Stop the SMTP forward receiver server

conversation

get_conversation_context

Get full conversation context for a specific thread

get_conversation_threads

Get conversation threads with forwarded emails

send

send_email

Send an email with text or HTML content

send_template_email

Send an email using a predefined template

verify

verify_autonomous_setup

Verify that autonomous email is properly configured: DNS records, DKIM, SMTP send/receive

verify_email_setup

Verify IP whitelisting and email provider configuration

cloud

list_cloud_providers

List supported cloud providers with pricing, regions, and PTR support info

configure

configure_mailgun

Configure Mailgun email provider with step-by-step guidance

dns

get_dns_records

Generate all required DNS records (A, MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) for autonomous email. Outputs copyable records for your DNS provider.

forwarded

get_forwarded_emails

Retrieve forwarded emails with optional filtering

from

remove_from_suppression

Remove an address from the bounce suppression list (manual override to allow sending again)

health

get_health_status

Get current health status of the email server — tunnel, SMTP, DNS, IP blocklist checks

idle

get_idle_status

Get status of IMAP IDLE watchers — which accounts are being watched, connection status, new email counts

inbox

read_inbox

Read emails from an inbox via IMAP with filtering options. If IMAP is configured in .env, no credentials needed. Use "account" to pick a named account (work, personal, etc.).

local

list_local_mailboxes

List all local mailboxes on this server (autonomous mode)

mailboxes

list_mailboxes

List all available mailboxes for an email account. If IMAP is configured in .env, no credentials needed. Use "account" to pick a named account.

Attach a personal account's own SMTP + IMAP credentials (iCloud, Gmail app password, Fastmail, Office365, etc.) to an existing account. Once set, send_email with from=<address> sends via that SMTP and IMAP-APPENDs a copy to its Sent folder. Passwords are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest with EMAILMCP_SECRET.

regenerate

regenerate_zone_file

Regenerate the complete DNS zone file for the service domain including all customer subdomains. Use after adding/removing domains.

EmailMCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can EmailMCP do?

It exposes 56 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_sending_domain, check_email_config, check_ip_status, configure_mailgun, create_email_account, create_email_rule and 50 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is EmailMCP mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around email, start and stop. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is EmailMCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 964 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is EmailMCP still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect EmailMCP?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does EmailMCP need an API key?

No. EmailMCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 56 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is EmailMCP?

It answers our handshake in 964 ms on average, which is faster than 6% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
