Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add parse-dmarc -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/meysam81/parse-dmarc:v1.4.7

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {

Common questions

Is Parse-DMARC MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.4.7) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Parse DMARC or DMARCguard?
Roadmap and contributing

Read your DMARC aggregate reports in one dashboard. One Go binary, SQLite, no Elasticsearch.

Parse DMARC is built and maintained by the team behind DMARCguard, a hosted DMARC monitoring service. The two do not share code, and this repository stays Apache-2.0 in full.

What it does

When your DMARC record carries a rua= address, mail receivers such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo send you aggregate reports: gzip or zip XML attachments, usually once a day, listing every IP that sent mail as your domain and whether SPF and DKIM passed (RFC 7489 section 7.2, carried forward by RFC 9990). Nobody reads those by hand. Parse DMARC does:

Fetches reports over IMAP from any mailbox, or from a local Maildir when the mail server is on the same host (MAILDIR_PATH, see Configuration). Reports that Exchange or Outlook forward as message/rfc822 attachments are unwrapped too.
Parses gzip, zip and raw XML, with a 16 MB decompression cap per report.
Stores everything in one SQLite file. No database server, no JVM.
Shows pass rate, message volume and top sending sources, and opens any report down to its raw records.
Generates your _dmarc TXT record from a form.
Exposes 28 Prometheus metrics and ships a Grafana dashboard.
Serves an MCP server, so an AI assistant can query your reports.
Dark mode. One static binary in a minimal container image.

It reads aggregate (RUA) reports only. Failure reports (RUF), TLS-RPT, alerting, login and multi-mailbox intake are not built; see Roadmap and contributing.

Run it

Docker, with a named volume for the database:

docker run -d --name parse-dmarc -p 8080:8080 \

-e IMAP_HOST=imap.gmail.com \ -e IMAP_PORT=993 \ -e IMAP_USERNAME=dmarc@example.com \ -e IMAP_PASSWORD='your-app-password' \ -v parse-dmarc:/data \ dmarcguard/parse-dmarc

Homebrew on macOS or Linux:

brew install dmarcguardhq/tap/parse-dmarc

parse-dmarc --gen-config # writes a config.json template parse-dmarc --config config.json

Nix, from our NUR-style repo:

nix profile install github:dmarcguardhq/nur#parse-dmarc   # or: nix run github:dmarcguardhq/nur#parse-dmarc

Or download a release archive, parse-dmarc_ _ .tar.gz (.zip on Windows), from the releases page.

Open http://localhost:8080. Gmail needs an App Password, not the account password. The same image is on Docker Hub as meysam81/parse-dmarc; both names track the same builds, and tags such as v1 or v1.6.0 pin a release.

Get reports flowing

Receivers only send reports if your DMARC record asks for them. Publish this TXT record at _dmarc.example.com, with your own domain and mailbox:

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.com

p=none asks receivers to deliver as usual and only report. Move to p=quarantine, then p=reject, once every legitimate sender in the reports passes (RFC 9989 section 5.1).
rua= is the mailbox Parse DMARC reads. It has to exist and accept mail before the first report arrives.
Check the record with dig +short TXT _dmarc.example.com. Reports typically start within 24 to 48 hours.

Cloudflare, Route 53 and every other DNS host take the same three fields: name _dmarc, type TXT, value as above. SPF and DKIM do not have to be set up first; the reports are how you find out what they are doing.

Deploy anywhere

One click on a platform, or a template for the self-hosted PaaS you already run. Every option needs the IMAP settings from Configuration.

Provider	Deploy	Notes
Railway		Recommended for beginners
Render		Free tier available
Koyeb	[][koyeb-1click]	Global edge deployment. Manually mount `/data` as volume.

Configuration

Every setting in this table is an environment variable or a key in config.json. Environment is read first and the file overrides it. The command-line flags further down take an environment variable but no config.json key.

Setting	Environment variable	Default
IMAP host and port	`IMAP_HOST`, `IMAP_PORT`	required, `993`
IMAP username and password	`IMAP_USERNAME`, `IMAP_PASSWORD`	required
Mailbox to read	`IMAP_MAILBOX`	`INBOX`
Implicit TLS	`IMAP_USE_TLS`	`true`
STARTTLS on a plaintext port	`IMAP_STARTTLS`	`false`
Internal CA bundle, PEM	`IMAP_TLS_CA_FILE`	unset
Skip certificate verification	`IMAP_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY`	`false`
Mark fetched mail as seen	`IMAP_MARK_AS_SEEN`	`true`
Move processed mail to	`IMAP_PROCESSED_MAILBOX`	unset
Maildir intake instead of IMAP	`MAILDIR_PATH`	unset
Maildir deadletter mailbox	`IMAP_DEADLETTER_BOX`	`DEADLETTER`
Database file	`DATABASE_PATH`	`~/.parse-dmarc/db.sqlite`, `/data/parse-dmarc.db` in Docker
HTTP listen	`SERVER_HOST`, `SERVER_PORT`	`127.0.0.1`, `8080`, `0.0.0.0` in Docker
