Allows for the creation and saving of email drafts to a Gmail account through IMAP integration.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@imap-mcp Draft an email to sarah@example.com about our meeting tomorrow"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
š§ An IMAP Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to expose IMAP operations as tools for AI assistants.
Email Draft Creation: Create draft emails that are saved to your IMAP server's drafts folder
IMAP Integration: Connect to any IMAP-compatible email server (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
Secure Authentication: Uses environment variables for secure credential management
MCP Compatible: Works with Claude and other AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol
TypeScript: Full TypeScript support with proper type definitions

"from": "sender@example.com"
}The tool will attempt to save the draft to either "INBOX.Drafts" or "Drafts" folder, depending on your email server's folder structure.

MCP server connecting AI agents to 100+ apps (Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub) via one-click OAuth.
Email infrastructure for AI agents ā send, receive, search, and reply to email over MCP.
Hosted MCP server connecting AI assistants to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions via Zapier.
Your agent needs a mailbox of its own ā to receive, thread, draft and send, with attachments, without borrowing your personal inbox or your company's SMTP. **What you can ask for** ā¢ "Create an inbox for this agent and tell me its address." ā¢ "Read the new messages in this thread and draft a reply." ā¢ "Send this message with the attachment and wait for the response." ā¢ "Search this inbox for everything from that domain." ā¢ "Show delivery metrics and the events on this inbox." **How to use it** Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/mail/mcp and sign in with OAuth ā there is no key to create or paste. 49 tools: create and delete inboxes, list and read messages, raw message bodies, attachments, threads, drafts and draft attachments, send and reply, message search, inbox events, metrics, and list entries ā reads and writes. **Why this rather than the source** A real inbox an agent owns, rather than an SMTP credential it borrows from a human. **It is also a door to the rest** The same login reaches 26 sources and 580+ operations. Find the contact elsewhere in the catalogue, then write to them from here ā without adding a second server. **What it costs** Finding and inspecting an operation is free. Running one is billed per call at API prices, with no seat and no monthly minimum, and every call takes max_price_usd so an agent cannot overspend by accident. **Where else it reaches** https://mcp.aisa.one/sales/mcp finds the person to write to.
