Repository URL → git.sulkta.com. Drop Lucy Browserless IPs from tool doc-strings
(replaced with abstract 'sandboxed headless browser' guidance). Drop sibling-repo
cross-references, kayos@/cobb@ mailbox examples in tool descriptions, vault
pointers. Generalize config.example.toml + README to neutral hosts. Add LICENSE
(MIT — Cargo.toml already declared it).

Tests still green. No behavior change.

mail-mcp

Rust MCP server for IMAP/SMTP. SMTP send + IMAP read with RFC-correct headers, multipart/alternative when HTML is included, multipart/mixed for attachments, threading via In-Reply-To / References.

Tools (v0.1)

  • mail_sendaccount?, to, cc[]?, bcc[]?, subject, body, body_html?, attachments[]?, in_reply_to?, references[]?. Returns {message_id, sent_at}.
  • mail_inbox_list — newest-first listing. account?, since? (YYYY-MM-DD), unread_only?, limit? (default 50, max 500), folder? (default INBOX). Uses BODY.PEEK — does not toggle \Seen.
  • mail_inbox_read — fetch one message by UID. account?, uid, folder?, format? (text | html | raw_eml). Attachment payloads NOT inlined — only {filename, mime_type, size} metadata.

Outbound headers

  • Date — UTC, RFC 5322 (lettre auto)
  • Message-ID<UUIDv4@<from_addr_domain>> — own-domain, not the container hostname
  • Fromname <addr>
  • MIME-Version: 1.0
  • User-Agent: mail-mcp/<version>
  • In-Reply-To + References when threading args present
  • Content-Type correct for body shape (text-only / alternative / mixed)

DKIM-Signature is applied by the relay, not the client.

Build

cargo build --release

Binary at target/release/mail-mcp.

Config

mkdir -p ~/.config/mail-mcp
cp config.example.toml ~/.config/mail-mcp/config.toml
chmod 600 ~/.config/mail-mcp/config.toml

Passwords are never inline. Per account:

  1. read from the env var named in password_env
  2. otherwise from password_file (shell-format KEY=VALUE per line)
  3. hard fail if neither resolves

MCP wiring

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mail-mcp": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/mail-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Logging is stderr-only — stdout is the JSON-RPC transport.

Safety

mail_inbox_read returns attacker-controlled bytes. Do NOT auto-fetch URLs found in inbound mail — web beacons confirm read and links may be phishing. Default deny on every URL; surface as text and wait for explicit per-link authorization. If a fetch is authorized, route through a sandboxed headless browser rather than curl / WebFetch from the production host. Attachment bytes get the same treatment.
