Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Shipmail, a business email provider with REST API, webhooks, and custom-domain inboxes for AI agents.
Shipmail MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Shipmail, a business email provider with REST API, webhooks, and custom-domain inboxes for AI agents.
Shipmail uses the stateless MCP 2026-07-28 protocol on both transports. Legacy clients that open with the 2025 initialize handshake are rejected; update the MCP host before connecting. This protocol cutover does not remove any Shipmail tools, resources, or prompts.
Once Shipmail is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
MCPMail — mcpmail.appMailRift — mailrift.ioMCPEmails — mcpemails.comGroup — ToolsStatus — shipmail_statusDomains — shipmail_list_domains, shipmail_get_domain, shipmail_get_domain_dns_records, shipmail_create_domain, shipmail_update_domain, shipmail_delete_domainMailboxes — shipmail_list_mailboxes, shipmail_get_mailbox, shipmail_create_mailbox, shipmail_update_mailbox, shipmail_delete_mailbox, shipmail_suspend_mailboxCursor — Add to .cursor/mcp.json in the project root, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global use:Windsurf — The Windsurf tool exposed by this serverBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
You will need one environment variable: SHIPMAIL_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of team communication servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Shipmail's toolset — MCPMail, MailRift, MCPEmails and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
