Migadu MCP Server

Control your Migadu email hosting from AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol.

What is Migadu?

Migadu is a Swiss email host that prices on actual usage instead of mailbox count, with standard SMTP/IMAP/POP3 and no lock-in.

What this does

Covers the full Migadu API surface as MCP tools:

• Domains — create, update, activate, DNS records, diagnostics, usage

• Mailboxes — CRUD, autoresponders, password resets

• Aliases — forwarding rules without a mailbox behind them

• Identities — send-as addresses on a mailbox

• Forwardings — external delivery copies with confirmation flow

• Rewrites — pattern-based routing rules

Setup

Get an API key at Migadu Admin → My Account → API Keys.

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop, ~/.claude.json, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "migadu": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["migadu-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MIGADU_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "MIGADU_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "MIGADU_DOMAIN": "example.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add migadu \
  --env MIGADU_EMAIL=you@example.com \
  --env MIGADU_API_KEY=your-api-key \
  --env MIGADU_DOMAIN=example.com \
  -- uvx migadu-mcp

MIGADU_DOMAIN is optional. It's the default domain used by tools like list_mailboxes when you don't pass one explicitly. Skip it if you manage multiple domains and prefer to pass domain on every call.

Example usage

Once configured, ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Onboard a new domain acme.example — walk me through DNS setup and activation"

• "Create mailboxes for alice@acme.example and bob@acme.example"

• "Set up support@acme.example as an alias to both Alice and Bob"

• "Configure an autoresponder on vacation@acme.example until January 15th"

• "Delete the mailboxes for everyone who left: list of addresses..."

Three built-in prompts are registered to scaffold common workflows: mailbox_creation_wizard, bulk_operation_planner, domain_onboarding.

Tools

Domain

list_domains, get_domain, create_domain, update_domain, get_domain_records, get_domain_diagnostics, activate_domain, get_domain_usage

Mailbox

list_mailboxes, get_mailbox, create_mailbox, update_mailbox, delete_mailbox, reset_mailbox_password, set_autoresponder

Alias

list_aliases, get_alias, create_alias, update_alias, delete_alias

Identity

list_identities, get_identity, create_identity, update_identity, delete_identity

Forwarding

list_forwardings, get_forwarding, create_forwarding, update_forwarding, delete_forwarding

Rewrite

list_rewrites, get_rewrite, create_rewrite, update_rewrite, delete_rewrite

All mutation tools (create_*, update_*, delete_*, activate_*, set_autoresponder, reset_mailbox_password) accept a list[dict] of items and return a bulk-result envelope with per-item success/failure. A single-item list works too.

Resources

Read-only views addressable by URI:

• domains:// — all domains on the account

• domain://{name} — one domain's full config

• domain-records://{name} — required DNS records for setup

• domain-usage://{name} — message + storage metrics

• mailboxes://{domain} — mailboxes for a domain

• mailbox://{domain}/{local_part} — one mailbox

• identities://{domain}/{mailbox} — identities on a mailbox

• forwardings://{domain}/{mailbox} — forwardings on a mailbox

• aliases://{domain} — aliases for a domain

• rewrites://{domain} — rewrite rules for a domain

Notes

• Migadu's API returns HTTP 500 on successful DELETE (known quirk). The client treats 200/204/404/500 as success on DELETE; other codes raise.

• One long-lived httpx.AsyncClient per server process, closed on shutdown via FastMCP lifespan hook.

• list_* tools pass responses through a static summarizer when they exceed ~2000 tokens, returning a count plus a sample instead of flooding context.

Development

git clone https://github.com/Michaelzag/migadu-mcp.git
cd migadu-mcp
uv sync --group dev

# Quality gates (same as CI)
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run ruff check migadu_mcp/ tests/
uv run ty check migadu_mcp/
uv run pytest
uv run bandit -r migadu_mcp/

Tests use respx to mock the Migadu API — no credentials needed. Integration tests (behind @pytest.mark.integration) hit the real API and are skipped by default.
