Implementation Reference

  • MCP tool handler for 'list_mailboxes': initializes JmapClient, calls getMailboxes(), and returns JSON stringified list of mailboxes.
    case 'list_mailboxes': { const mailboxes = await client.getMailboxes(); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(mailboxes, null, 2), }, ], }; }
  • Tool schema definition including name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required). Returned in ListTools response.
    { name: 'list_mailboxes', description: 'List all mailboxes in the Fastmail account', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, },
  • JmapClient helper method that sends JMAP Mailbox/get request to retrieve all mailboxes and returns the list.
    async getMailboxes(): Promise<any[]> { const session = await this.getSession(); const request: JmapRequest = { using: ['urn:ietf:params:jmap:core', 'urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail'], methodCalls: [ ['Mailbox/get', { accountId: session.accountId }, 'mailboxes'] ] }; const response = await this.makeRequest(request); return response.methodResponses[0][1].list; }
  • src/index.ts:135-652 (registration)
    Registration of all MCP tools including 'list_mailboxes' via the ListToolsRequestSchema handler.
