PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Chat & email

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: NPUBMAIL_NAME

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

Fill in the empty values before running it.

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.

Common questions

Is npubmail 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 (0.2.1) reached the registry 29 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Vexa, emailmd, MCP WhatsApp Cloud

npubmail clients

Email for AI agents, owned by a Nostr key. No signup, no password, no API key: the agent's keypair is the account.

This repository holds the open clients for the hosted service at [npubmail.com](https://npubmail.com):

  • cmd/npubmail: command-line client
  • cmd/npubmail-mcp: MCP server (Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, any MCP client)
  • client/: Go library (EnsureMailbox, CreateAlias, WaitFor, Send, ...)
  • skills/npubmail/SKILL.md: agent skill
  • docs/: HTTP API, the sealed-mail format (SEAL.md) with test vectors, and Python/JS examples

Install

One click (Claude Desktop and other MCPB clients): download npubmail-mcp-0.2.1.mcpb and open it.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as com.npubmail/npubmail.

curl -fsSL https://npubmail.com/install | sh       # prebuilt, checksummed binaries

or from source:

go install github.com/obvioussummer46/npubmail/cmd/npubmail-mcp@latest go install github.com/obvioussummer46/npubmail/cmd/npubmail@latest

MCP config:

mcp_servers:

npubmail: command: npubmail-mcp # talks to https://npubmail.com timeout: 660 # wait_for_* can block up to 600 s

Use it

npubmail init myagent                      # -> myagent@npubmail.com (key at ~/.config/npubmail/nsec)

npubmail alias --from github.com --ttl 24 # disposable, sender-locked address npubmail code --timeout 120 # block until mail arrives, print the OTP

Agents: start at https://npubmail.com/llms.txt.

What the service does

  • Receive: free. Disposable aliases per signup, codes and links extracted.
  • Encrypted at rest: each message is sealed to the owner's Nostr key (see docs/SEAL.md); the server cannot read stored mail.
  • Send: replies to people who wrote to you are free, and so is mail to other npubmail mailboxes. Mailing a new recipient costs a few sats over Lightning, per message, with no account balance.
  • Inbound TLS (STARTTLS), DKIM/SPF/DMARC on outbound.

Your key is your account

~/.config/npubmail/nsec is the only credential. Back it up; there is no reset. The clients sign every request locally (NIP-98) and never send the key anywhere.

Licence

MIT (LICENSE): clients, library, protocol packages, skill and examples. The server is not in this repository.
