Installation
Manual Installation
We recommend using uv to manage your environment.
Try uvx mcp-email-server@latest ui to config, and use following configuration for mcp client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zerolib-email": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"mcp-email-server@latest",
"stdio"
]
}
}
}This package is available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip install mcp-email-server
After that, configure your email server using the ui: mcp-email-server ui
Then you can try it in Claude Desktop. If you want to intergrate it with other mcp client, run $which mcp-email-server for the path and configure it in your client like:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zerolib-email": {
"command": "{{ ENTRYPOINT }}",
"args": [
"stdio"
]
}
}
}If docker is avaliable, you can try use docker image, but you may need to config it in your client using tools via MCP. The default config path is ~/.config/zerolib/mcp_email_server/config.toml
