✉️ apple-mail-mcp
Your Apple Mail, fully agent-operable.
Runs locally on your Mac. It opens the Mail store read-only, returns only what a client asks for, and sends only when the client explicitly calls the send tool. No third-party relay, no cloud copy of your mail.
uvx apple-mailbox-mcp setup
Measured on a 300k-message store: addressing one message 0.1 ms via Mail's own index, against 7 to 10 s for the AppleScript whose-clause; full-text search p95 under 1 ms. Method and script: docs/benchmarks.md.
Use Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, or any local MCP client to search, read, triage, and send email through Apple Mail — your mailbox becomes something you can ask, search and delegate to — find anything in seconds, file hundreds of messages through a reviewed plan, send polished mail as the right identity, and let Exchange deliver scheduled messages even while your Mac is asleep.
✨ What you can do
🔍 Ask your mailbox questions. *"What did Maria send me about the memo last week?"* Search runs at database speed — sender, mailbox, dates, unread, attachments — and reconstructs whole conversations.
🕳️ Find what Mail itself can't. Mail's built-in search only skims the first line of most messages. apple-mail-mcp indexes every message body on your Mac — and for Exchange accounts it even fetches the bodies Mail never downloaded, straight from your own mailbox on the server. Queries that returned nothing return twenty.
🎭 Send as the right you. Work mail through the work lane, personal through Gmail — one parameter picks the identity. Every message is composed from scratch as clean, standards-correct email that renders everywhere, *including Outlook* (the AppleScript compose path that arrives blank in Outlook is the reason this project exists).
⏰ Schedule like "Send Later", but scriptable. A scheduled message is frozen in full — attachments, identity, exact text, and since 1.8.2 the threading headers, so a scheduled reply lands in the conversation it answers. Exchange can execute it server-side at the requested time, lid closed; other providers use a local background sender and deliver on its next pass (or just after the Mac wakes).
🗂️ Triage at scale, without fear. *"File these 40 newsletters"* becomes a reviewable plan: nothing moves until it is approved, every message is re-checked before it is touched, and the result is verified against Mail's own records afterward. Delete means Mail's Trash — nothing is ever erased.
📝 Draft where your drafts live. Compose into your real Exchange Drafts folder, ready to open in Outlook or OWA — created, never auto-sent.
⚡ Why it's different
Every other Apple-Mail MCP drives AppleScript for both finding and acting. This one doesn't — and it shows:
| Operation | AppleScript whose-clause | apple-mailbox-mcp |
|---|---|---|
| 🔍 Search 300k messages | seconds-to-timeout | milliseconds |
| 🎯 Address one message in a 71k mailbox | 7–10 s (measured) | < 0.1 ms |
| ✉️ Send mail | body renders blank in Outlook | renders everywhere, plain+HTML |
| ⏰ Schedule mail | — | server-side on Exchange; reliable local queue everywhere else |
| 🗂️ Bulk triage | one call per message, fire-and-forget | one reviewed plan, one apply, verified |
Every number above was measured on a live ~300,000-message store; the script and full method are in docs/benchmarks.md.
If the benchmarks hold up on your mailbox, a ⭐ helps others find this.
🛡️ Built to be trusted
- ✅ Plan → review → apply → verify. Bulk actions are frozen into a plan you can read before anything happens; the outcome is confirmed against Mail's own store afterward — never assumed.
- 🗑️ Nothing is ever erased. "Delete" files into Mail's Trash, and destructive plans have their own separate, capped door.
- 👓 Read-only mail mode. Set
EMAIL_MCP_READ_ONLY=1and only the 11 non-mutating mail tools exist in the session. Search may still maintain its local body index, and attachment retrieval writes the requested file to the configured temporary directory. - 💾 A crash-safe scheduled queue. Manifest updates are flushed and atomically replaced, so an interrupted rewrite keeps the last valid record. If a file is damaged independently, diagnostics name it instead of claiming the queue is empty, while healthy scheduled messages keep moving.
- 🧾 A local, best-effort activity ledger. Sends, schedules, cancellations and triage runs are recorded without making an unwritable log block mail. For reconciliation, the message itself, its Message-ID and its scheduled record remain authoritative.
- 🔒 No third-party mail relay. Mail content stays local except for mail you send and optional access to your own provider for Exchange/IMAP body backfill, drafts and server-side scheduling. SMTP passwords stay in the macOS Keychain or 1Password; Microsoft OAuth tokens live in a private 0600 cache under
~/.email-mcp/graph/. - 📜 A written contract. Since v1.0 every tool's shapes, error codes and caps evolve additively, held in place by 800+ automated tests.
- 🤝 Clear to every MCP client. All 21 tools identify what they do, explain every input, and declare whether they read, change or can remove data. Newer clients receive structured results; older clients keep the same JSON text. MCP SDK 2.2 and newer 2.x releases are tested, with support for older clients.
- 🧱 Built to evolve without breaking your workflow. Email rules are isolated from MCP, Mail.app, Exchange, delivery, and local storage. Provider or SDK changes stay at the edge while the 21-tool contract remains stable. The dependency rules are enforced in CI and explained in the architecture guide.
- 📦 Releases you can verify. Every tagged release is built and installed in a clean environment before publishing. GitHub includes the wheel, source archive, SHA-256 checksums and signed build provenance—not just source code.
- 🩺 Self-diagnosing.
apple-mail-mcp statusgives one readable readiness, scheduling and recovery screen.apple-mail-mcp doctorprovides the complete diagnostic detail and an exact fix for anything red.
🚀 Quick start
- Grant Full Disk Access to your terminal app (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access), then quit and reopen the terminal. This is Apple's one manual toggle — there is no pop-up for it.
- Install and set up:
uvx apple-mailbox-mcp setup # or: pipx install apple-mailbox-mcp
or via Homebrew:
brew install parasxos/tap/apple-mail-mcp && apple-mail-mcp setup
- Register with your client — one line for Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user apple-mail -- uvx apple-mailbox-mcp
or the same JSON block for Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code (claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json / .vscode/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "apple-mail": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["apple-mailbox-mcp"] } } }
- Verify:
uvx apple-mailbox-mcp statusprints one readiness screen — or just ask your client to run thedoctortool; every red line comes with its exact fix.uvx apple-mailbox-mcp --versionprints the installed version (apple-mailbox-mcp,apple-mail-mcpandemail-mcpare three names for the same command). The first body-index build on a large mailbox runs in the background and can take a few minutes; search works immediately and completes as the index fills.
Before running setup, grant your terminal app Full Disk Access (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access) — that is how reading stays fast and local. There is no pop-up for this one; it is Apple's one manual toggle, and setup walks you to the exact pane if it finds it missing.
setup asks everything in plain words (bare Enter accepts the recommended answer), offers a sending identity, builds the body-search index, verifies the nightly refresh actually runs, and ends by printing the one block you paste into your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": { "apple-mail": { "command": "apple-mail-mcp" } } }
Setup ends with a clear ready verdict or numbered recovery steps. Grant Automation → Mail when triage first asks for it. Check the installation, the next scheduled message, and failed scheduled sends anytime with apple-mail-mcp status; use apple-mail-mcp doctor for the full technical detail.
💡 *New to the terminal?* Three things that look wrong and aren't:
brew install pipxwants a typedy(Enter alone is rejected);
pipx ensurepathmay print a ⚠️ — the "pipx is ready to go!" line after it
is the verdict; and after
ensurepath, close and reopen the terminal once
so
apple-mail-mcpis found.
🔌 Works with
Every client below speaks stdio MCP; the command is always uvx apple-mailbox-mcp.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user apple-mail -- uvx apple-mailbox-mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "apple-mail": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["apple-mailbox-mcp"] } } }
Cursor
Add the same block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or per-project .cursor/mcp.json).
VS Code (Copilot MCP)
Add the same block under "servers" in .vscode/mcp.json.
Codex CLI
# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.apple-mail] command = "uvx" args = ["apple-mailbox-mcp"]
Any stdio MCP client
Point it at uvx apple-mailbox-mcp. The wire contract is additive-only since v1.0.
🔧 Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
Client says the server failed to start, but uvx apple-mailbox-mcp works in your terminal | GUI apps don't inherit your shell PATH. Use the absolute path: "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/uvx" (find yours with which uvx). |
database is locked or empty results | Full Disk Access is missing for the app that *launches* the server (the client, not the terminal). Grant it, then fully quit and reopen that app. |
| Search finds recent mail but not bodies of old mail | The body index is still building — first build on a 100k+ mailbox takes minutes. status shows progress. |
Send fails with transport_unavailable | Run doctor: it names the failing lane (Keychain item missing, SSH socket cold, SMTP host unreachable) and prints the exact fix. |
| Triage does nothing the first time | Grant Automation → Mail when macOS asks; the prompt appears on first use, not at install. |
