Read Email MCP
kellhect · MCP server
Read Email MCP mirrors an IMAP mailbox into a local SQLite database and gives an AI agent read-only tools to browse and search it. It works with any IMAP server, detecting common providers from the email domain and discovering custom servers through autoconfig, DNS and MX records, and it handles several accounts at once. Tools cover syncing, an inbox summary, recent and unread messages, message volume by date, full-text search and ranking senders by message count. Raw email files stay under your home directory.

Why it's useful
Your agent can search your whole mailbox from a local copy instead of logging in to IMAP for each request.
What you could do with it
- Sync your mailbox once, then ask your agent to search email by sender, subject or body text.
- Ask for an inbox summary showing unread and flagged counts and the newest unread messages.
- Rank the people who email you most by message count, with each sender's unread total.
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
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.
In its maker's words

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 2.0.1, the file with digest sha512-95+jlo03QUuaqn3gsHva86C3vB/dDkN5MWkjTSl1ZehAtXtURNLW4lzlRbXHpD/wrJaTdyRLoZzhqPLPvOkLtA==, 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.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
