What is the Mailbridge MCP server?

Connect Mailbridge to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Connect Claude to your email — read, search, send, and organise emails via IMAP/SMTP. The mailbridge mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Connect your AI assistant to your email — read, search, send, reply, organise, draft, schedule, and manage attachments from iCloud or any IMAP account. Works with Claude, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Organisation — The Organisation tool exposed by this server
  • Accounts — The Accounts tool exposed by this server
  • Cursor — 1. Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP 2. Click Add MCP Server and paste:
  • iCloud — You must use an App-Specific Password — your main Apple ID password will not work
  • Reading — The Reading tool exposed by this server
  • Attachments — The Attachments tool exposed by this server
  • Rules — The Rules tool exposed by this server

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Where it fits

Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Mailbridge's toolset — Organisation, Accounts, Cursor and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Creativestefan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
