Email MCP for Gmail, iCloud and microsoft
Organize, flag, read, delete, and clean email with AI.
A unified MCP server for email access across Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and generic IMAP providers.
- Multi-provider support-- Gmail (REST API), Outlook (Microsoft Graph), iCloud (IMAP), and generic IMAP/SMTP
- OAuth2 authentication-- Browser-based OAuth flows for Gmail and Outlook, with automatic token refresh
- Full email client-- Search, read, send, reply, forward, organize, and manage drafts
- Batch operations-- Delete, move, or mark hundreds of emails in a single call
- Lightweight search-- Compact search results by default (~20KB vs ~1.4MB) with optional full body retrieval
- Encrypted credential storage-- AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with machine-derived keys
- Provider-native APIs-- Uses Gmail API and Microsoft Graph where available for richer features, falls back to IMAP for universal compatibility
Or run directly with npx (no install needed):
- Run the interactive setup wizard to add your email accounts:
The wizard will walk you through provider selection and authentication. After each account, it asks if you'd like to add another — so you can set up Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud all in one go.
- Add the server to your MCP configuration (.mcp.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "email": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@marlinjai/email-mcp"] } } }
- Start using email tools in Claude Code — search your inbox, send emails, organize messages, and more.
No configuration needed — the setup wizard handles everything using built-in OAuth credentials (PKCE):
npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup # Select "Gmail" when prompted # A browser window opens for Google authorization # Grant the requested permissions and return to the terminal
Note:If you prefer to use your own OAuth app, create a Desktop OAuth 2.0 Client in theGoogle Cloud Consolewith the Gmail API enabled.
No configuration needed — the setup wizard handles everything using built-in OAuth credentials (PKCE):
Note:If you prefer to use your own OAuth app, register one in theAzure PortalwithMail.ReadWrite,Mail.Send, andoffline_accesspermissions.
npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup # Select "iCloud" when prompted # Enter your iCloud email address # Enter the app-specific password you generated
Run the setup wizard with your IMAP/SMTP server details:
npx @marlinjai/email-mcp setup # Select "Other IMAP" when prompted # Enter your IMAP host, port, and credentials # Optionally enter SMTP host and port for sending
All batch tools accept asourceFolderparameter for IMAP/iCloud and include a sequential fallback for maximum compatibility.
Add the following to your.mcp.jsonfile (project-level or global~/.claude/.mcp.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "email": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@marlinjai/email-mcp"] } } }
Once configured, you can ask Claude to interact with your email:
- "Check my inbox for unread messages"
- "Search for emails fromalice@example.comin the last week"
- "Reply to the latest email from Bob and thank him"
- "Move all newsletters to the Archive folder"
- "Delete all spam emails" (uses batch operations for speed)
- "Draft a follow-up email to the team about the meeting"
