Imap MCP Server
nitr0n256 · MCP server
Connects your AI assistant to one or more IMAP email accounts. It can search and read mail, download attachments, follow a thread, move, mark and delete messages including in bulk, and send, reply to and forward email over SMTP. It also lists folders with unread counts and includes spam analysis. Suits people who run several mailboxes and want to hold an assistant to read-only access.

Why it's useful
Several mailboxes can be handled from one assistant, and read-only mode keeps sending and deleting switched off when you want that.
What you could do with it
- Show the latest five emails from a Gmail account and have your agent summarise them.
- Move the invoice email from the inbox into a Taxes folder, then list folders with their unread counts.
- Set the server to read-only so your agent can search and read mail but cannot send or delete anything.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 2.2.0, the file with digest sha512-SCiM/HMvMwpAU5nFsvHxDmC97TyBgqNJKJxNNcilFFXJmZRQDl/1sjZezs988TWM8wIJROO0lNm5sSy35xltIA==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
