How do I install the dropscan mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `DROPSCAN_TOKEN`, `DROPSCAN_ALLOW_WRITES` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Dropscan MCP Server?

MCP server for the Dropscan postal mail scanning API: read scanned letters, act on mailings.

The short version

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Dropscan postal-mail-to-email API. Dropscan receives your physical letters at a scanbox; this server lets your MCP client list mailings, download the scans (PDF / ZIP / envelope image / OCR text), and, when explicitly enabled, request actions (scan / forward / destroy) and manage recipients, forwarding addresses and webhook rules.

What it needs from you

Python >= 3.10 - A Dropscan personal access token
