Implementation Reference

  • MCP tool registration for 'markAsUnread', including Zod input schema {uid: number, folder?: string}, handler function that calls MailService.markAsUnread and returns formatted response.
    this.server.tool(
      "markAsUnread",
      {
        uid: z.number(),
        folder: z.string().default('INBOX')
      },
      async ({ uid, folder }) => {
        try {
          const numericUid = Number(uid);
          const success = await this.mailService.markAsUnread(numericUid, folder);
          
          if (success) {
            return {
              content: [
                { type: "text", text: `邮件(UID: ${uid})已标记为未读` }
              ]
            };
          } else {
            return {
              content: [
                { type: "text", text: `标记邮件(UID: ${uid})为未读失败` }
              ]
            };
          }
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              { type: "text", text: `标记邮件为未读时发生错误: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` }
            ]
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • MailService method that implements the core logic: opens IMAP box and removes the \\Seen flag from the specified email UID using delFlags.
    async markAsUnread(uid: number | string, folder: string = 'INBOX'): Promise<boolean> {
      await this.connectImap();
      
      // 确保 uid 为数字类型
      const numericUid = typeof uid === 'string' ? parseInt(uid, 10) : uid;
    
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        this.imapClient.openBox(folder, false, (err) => {
          if (err) {
            reject(err);
            return;
          }
    
          this.imapClient.delFlags(numericUid, '\\Seen', (err) => {
            if (err) {
              reject(err);
              return;
            }
            resolve(true);
          });
        });
      });
    }
