This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

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).

mailbox

create_mailbox

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

provision_status

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

mailboxes

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 1020 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 in the form 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 1020 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.
