🔧 Basic Configuration

When you open mcp-server for the first time, you will need to connect your email account. You can do this by entering the following information:

• Email Address

• Password or App-Specific Password

• Incoming Mail Server (IMAP or POP3)

• Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

• Ports for IMAP/POP3 and SMTP (usual defaults are often pre-filled)

If you use Forward Email or another email provider, check their support page for these server details.

mcp-server will then link your inbox with AI assistants securely using the MCP framework. The AI can help you sort messages, search your inbox, and provide context on your emails.

📥 How to Use mcp-server

After setup, the program runs in the background or as a small window. You can connect your AI assistant by following these steps:

1. Open the Dashboard
   This interface shows your inbox status and connected assistants.

2. Check Connection Status
   Verify that mcp-server has successfully connected to your email account.

3. Configure AI Assistant Settings
   Pick which AI assistant to use or configure options like response style and inbox filters.

4. Use Chat or Commands
   You can send commands to your assistant or chat to get help managing your emails.

🔒 Security Notes

mcp-server connects to your email using secure protocols (IMAP, SMTP with TLS). Your login information stays on your computer and is not shared externally.

Always use strong, unique passwords to protect your accounts. If you connect with an app password supplied by your email provider, it adds an extra layer of security.

⚙️ Common Troubleshooting

• Installer won’t run or open:
  Make sure your Windows is up to date. Run the installer as an administrator by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator."

• Can't connect to email:
  Double-check your server settings and credentials. Ensure your email provider supports third-party connections.

• AI assistant not responding:
  Restart the mcp-server application. Check your internet connection.

• Firewall or antivirus blocking:
  Allow mcp-server to access the internet through your firewall or antivirus software.
