제작자가 쓴 설명(영어 원문)
Search and read Apple Mail on macOS, read-only: mailboxes, messages and threads.
이 세 가지는 절대 하나의 점수로 합치지 않아요. 의견, 측정, 인기는 서로 다른 것이니까요.
이 서버는 아직 쉬운 말로 된 요약을 쓰지 못했어요. 아래는 레지스트리에서 읽어 온 사실이에요.
쓰고 있는 AI 앱을 고른 다음 설정을 복사하세요.

이 서버는 내 컴퓨터에서 실행되는데, ChatGPT는 인터넷에 있는 서버에만 연결할 수 있어요. 다른 앱을 고르세요.
선택한 앱은 이 기기의 쿠키에만 저장돼요. 계정은 필요 없어요.
이 설정은 제작자의 레지스트리 정보로 만들었어요. README와 다르면 README를 따르세요.

레지스트리에서 이 카테고리의 활성 서버 전체와 비교했어요. 스타는 게시자가 저장소를 소유한 경우에만 세요.
해당하는 기본 점검 1개 중 1개를 통과했어요. 코드는 읽지 않았어요. 키나 토큰을 넣기 전에 서버가 어떤 권한을 요구하는지 확인하고, 꼭 필요한 권한만 있는 키를 쓰세요.
레지스트리에 필수 키가 나와 있지 않아요. 다만 처음 쓸 때 로그인을 요구하는 서버도 있어요.
내 컴퓨터에서 실행돼요. AI 앱이 필요할 때 실행하고, 데이터는 제작자의 서버를 거치지 않아요(서버 자체가 온라인 서비스를 호출하는 경우는 제외).
GitHub 저장소는 마지막으로 – 변경됐고, 최신 버전(0.3.0)은 4일 전 레지스트리에 올라왔어요.
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code처럼 MCP를 지원하는 앱에서 쓸 수 있어요. 내 컴퓨터에 Node.js, MCPB도 있어야 해요.

A read-only MCP server that lets an AI assistant search and read the mail in Apple Mail.
macOS only. It reads the local index that Mail.app keeps on your Mac.
claude mcp add apple-mail -- npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp
Then grant Full Disk Access once with npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp setup. For Claude Desktop there is a one-click bundle: see Install.
The main use is "find the mail about X":
"Find the mail from the landlord about the heating bill"
"What did Anna send me last week with an attachment?" "Show the whole thread about the contract renewal"
Four tools: list_mailboxes, search_messages, get_message, get_thread. Search covers sender, recipient, subject, free text, mailbox, date range, unread, flagged and attachments, and can also look inside message bodies. Results carry a message:// link that opens the mail in Mail.app, where Mail stores the Message-ID (not on macOS 15). Details: docs/tools.md.
docs/architecture.md for the measurements and their limits.get_thread returns a conversation; messages carry a message:// link (not on macOS 15).isError result with one plain-English sentence per error code.message:// link. Support depends on the layout of Mail's database, not on the version number: doctor checks it. Reports from other versions are welcome, see Reporting problems.get_message reports file_not_found. See docs/exchange.md.A mailbox holds secrets: codes, reset links, contracts. Read this before connecting it to a model that can also reach the internet.
The full threat model and both residual risks: SECURITY.md.
Claude Code and Cowork, as a plugin (settings in a dialog, updates with each release):
/plugin install apple-mail-mcp --marketplace redpop/apple-mail-mcp
The plugin runs the npm package below at the plugin's version. Grant Full Disk Access once with npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp setup.
Claude Code without the plugin (or any client that starts a command):
claude mcp add apple-mail -- npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp
npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp setup
setup walks you through the Full Disk Access grant. Settings are environment variables, see Configuration.
Claude Desktop: download apple-mail-mcp- .mcpb from the latest release and open it. Claude Desktop installs the extension and shows its settings page; the settings there are the same as the environment variables. The first tool call without access opens System Settings and the Finder window for the grant.
Each release lists SHA256SUMS and carries build provenance attestations for the bundle and the helper zip.
For development, or to run unreleased changes. You need the Xcode Command Line Tools (for Swift) and an Apple Development certificate in your keychain for a build that keeps its permission across rebuilds; without one the build is ad hoc and gets its own, weaker identity.
git clone https://github.com/redpop/apple-mail-mcp.git
cd apple-mail-mcp npm ci npm run build # TypeScript -> dist/ npm run build:helper # Swift helper -> bin/Mail MCP Helper (Dev).app
Then give the helper Full Disk Access (next section) and register the server:
claude mcp add apple-mail \
-e APPLE_MAIL_HELPER_PATH="$PWD/bin/Mail MCP Helper (Dev).app" \ -- node "$PWD/dist/index.js"
APPLE_MAIL_HELPER_PATH points the server at your local build. Without it the server looks for the release bundle Mail MCP Helper.app inside the package, which only the release pipeline produces. A local build is named "Mail MCP Helper (Dev)" (Apple Development signature) or "Mail MCP Helper (Ad hoc)" (no certificate). Both use their own bundle id, so they never disturb the permission of the release app.
The build script never signs with a Developer ID certificate outside CI.
macOS protects ~/Library/Mail and offers no dialog to ask for access. You grant it once, to the helper app:
setup (from source: APPLE_MAIL_HELPER_PATH="$PWD/bin/Mail MCP Helper (Dev).app" node dist/index.js setup; from npm: npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp setup). It opens System Settings at Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access, shows the helper in Finder, and waits until access works.setup prints.setup reports success and prints the command to add the server to Claude Code.Without a terminal (for example with the MCPB bundle) the first tool call that is denied opens System Settings and the Finder window by itself, once per server process, and the error message lists the same steps.
Notes:
More cases: docs/troubleshooting.md.
Set these in the environment of the server, for example with claude mcp add -e NAME=value. They cannot be changed through tool parameters. Booleans accept true, false, 1, 0. An empty value counts as not set. An invalid value does not stop the server; every tool call then fails with CONFIG_INVALID naming the setting, and nothing falls back to "allow all".
The server reads these settings once, at startup. After changing them, restart the client. In Claude Desktop, quit the app (Cmd-Q) and open it again: switching the extension off and on, or saving its settings, keeps the running server and its old settings.
| Variable | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
APPLE_MAIL_ACCOUNTS | empty (all accounts) | Comma-separated allowlist. An entry matches an account's UUID, address or name, ignoring case. A name shared by two accounts matches both; use the address or UUID to pick one. |
APPLE_MAIL_INCLUDE_JUNK | false | Include mailboxes with the junk role and their subfolders. |
APPLE_MAIL_INCLUDE_TRASH | false | Include mailboxes with the trash role and their subfolders. |
APPLE_MAIL_EXCLUDE_MAILBOXES | empty | Comma-separated mailboxes to hide. An entry matches a mailbox name (exact, ignoring case) or a path with /. |
APPLE_MAIL_SHOW_SECURITY_MAILS | false | Show messages detected as security mails without withholding the body or masking the subject. |
APPLE_MAIL_BODY_SEARCH | true | Allow bodyContains in search_messages. When false, using it is an INVALID_INPUT error. |
APPLE_MAIL_BODY_INDEX | false | Build a full-text index of message bodies on disk, so bodyContains can search every message. Takes effect only with APPLE_MAIL_BODY_SEARCH. Turning it off deletes the index at the next start. |
APPLE_MAIL_MAX_RESULTS | 50 | Upper bound for the limit of a search (1 to 100). |
APPLE_MAIL_MAX_BODY_CHARS | 20000 | Upper bound for maxChars in get_message (1000 to 100000). |
APPLE_MAIL_HELPER_PATH | not set | Development only: path to a helper bundle (Dev or Ad hoc). A bundle with the release bundle id is refused. |
APPLE_MAIL_MCP_DEBUG | false | Write one line per helper request to stderr: command, duration and result code, for example apple-mail-mcp: search 42 ms ok. Never payloads or results. |
Example: only the work account, no mailbox called Archive.
claude mcp add apple-mail \
-e APPLE_MAIL_ACCOUNTS=work@example.com \ -e APPLE_MAIL_EXCLUDE_MAILBOXES=Archive \ -- npx -y @redpop/apple-mail-mcp
Without an index, bodyContains decodes messages while it searches, so one call looks at no more than the 2,000 newest candidates or 3 seconds of work. A mail from years ago can take many pages to reach. With APPLE_MAIL_BODY_INDEX=true the server keeps a full-text index of the message bodies and searches all of them in one call, with the same matches, order and matchContext as the scan.
bodyContains scans as before, and the note says how far the build is. Terms shorter than 3 characters are always scanned.앞부분만 보여 드려요. 나머지는 저장소에서 읽어 보세요
