mail-mcp

mail-mcp

基于 davidvornholt/standards 构建。

一款面向 Thunderbird 工作流的“仅草稿”IMAP 辅助工具。它建在一个共享的 Effect 核心之上,既可以作为 MCP 服务器 提供给 Codex、Claude 及其他兼容客户端使用,也可以作为 mail CLI 供你自己使用。通过 MCP 服务器,它可以搜索和读取邮件及收到的附件,并创建、更新或删除带 HTML 和附件的草稿;mail CLI 则涵盖登录、状态、文件夹/搜索/读取,以及纯文本草稿创建。它不能发送邮件:草稿会同步到 Thunderbird 中,供你审核后再发送。

目录结构

apps/mail            the application (MCP server + CLI)
  src/app            entrypoints: server.ts (MCP, stdio), cli.ts (the `mail` bin)
  src/features/mail  schemas, tagged errors, and Effect services (config, secrets, status, IMAP, draft, login)
  src/shared         app-local infrastructure (arg parsing, hidden-input terminal prompt)
packages/*           canonical shared config synced from the standards template

工具列表、配置和密钥处理请参见 apps/mail/README.md

设置

bun install

# put the `mail` command on your PATH (one-time; links the app's bin into
# ~/.bun/bin). After this, run `mail …` from anywhere.
bun link --cwd apps/mail

# configure your accounts (non-secret: addresses, IMAP hosts, and ports). The real
# file is git-ignored so your addresses never land in git.
cp apps/mail/accounts.example.toml apps/mail/accounts.toml
# …edit apps/mail/accounts.toml…

# verify every account's password against IMAP, then store each in the OS keyring
# (hidden prompts — nothing is echoed or written to disk). Run this yourself;
# the secrets never leave your machine.
mail login

# confirm each account authenticates cleanly (or shows what still needs a login)
mail status

向 Codex 注册 MCP 服务器:

codex mcp add mail -- bun run <repo>/apps/mail/src/app/server.ts
codex mcp get mail

Codex 会对 MCP 工具的引入进行推迟,直到它与任务相关时才实际加载,因此注册服务器并不会把每个邮件工具的 schema 都急切地塞进模型上下文。添加该服务器后,请重启 Codex,再通过 /mcp 查看已连接的服务器。

如果需要显式的写操作审批,并为 IMAP 操作留出更大的余量,请编辑 ~/.codex/config.toml 中生成的条目:

[mcp_servers.mail]
command = "bun"
args = ["run", "<repo>/apps/mail/src/app/server.ts"]
startup_timeout_sec = 15
tool_timeout_sec = 120
default_tools_approval_mode = "writes"

[mcp_servers.mail.tools.delete_draft]
approval_mode = "prompt"

对于 Claude Code(用户作用域)环境,请使用:

claude mcp add --scope user mail -- bun run <repo>/apps/mail/src/app/server.ts

存储好密码后,你可以让 MCP 客户端去搜索你的邮件或撰写草稿;也可以自己跑这套“审阅优先”的 CLI:

mail search invoice
mail search --account you@example.com invoice

省略 --account 时,会搜索所有已配置的账户,对结果进行合并去重,并在全局应用限制。传入 --account <email> 则只搜索该账户。每条结果都会说明它所属的账户,单个账户的失败也会与部分结果一并报告。如果所有账户都失败了,该命令只会报出所有账户的错误。

文件夹搜索是分账户的:要用一个精确文件夹时,直接用 mail search --account you@example.com --scope folder --folder INBOX ...;要搜某个文件夹及其所有子文件夹,则用 --scope subtree --subFolder Folders

如果还没立好全局命令,也可以像这样使用:bun run apps/mail/src/app/cli.ts <args>

环境要求

  • Bun(参见 package.json 中的 packageManager)。

  • 一个正在运行并且锁定已解锁的 Secret Service 服务(如 gnome-keyring),用于系统钥匙串。

质量门槛

bun run check 会在每个 workspace 中依次运行标准漂移检查、lint、类型检查、测试、构建和可访问性(a11y)。工作完成前它必须通过,否则不算定稿完成。
