Installation

Manual Installation

We recommend using uv to manage your environment.

Try uvx mcp-email-server@latest ui to config, and use following configuration for mcp client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zerolib-email": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-email-server@latest", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

This package is available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip install mcp-email-server

After that, configure your email server using the ui: mcp-email-server ui

Then you can try it in Claude Desktop. If you want to intergrate it with other mcp client, run $which mcp-email-server for the path and configure it in your client like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zerolib-email": {
      "command": "{{ ENTRYPOINT }}",
      "args": ["stdio"]
    }
  }
}

If docker is avaliable, you can try use docker image, but you may need to config it in your client using tools via MCP. The default config path is ~/.config/zerolib/mcp_email_server/config.toml

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zerolib-email": {
      "command": "docker",
