MCP email tools
This is an example of an MCP server in Python with two email tools, which allow you to send emails using Proton Mail or Gmail.
It uses the MCP Python SDK and a third-party ProtonMail wrapper.
Using this server
To use this with the Claude desktop app:
Clone the repo, and then run uv sync or pip install . to install the requirements from the pyproject.toml file.
If you’re using uv (and if you’re not, you really should be), simply type uv run mcp and then mcp install main.py to add it to Claude.
Otherwise, create or edit the claude_desktop_config.json file at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Mac/Linux or %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows. Add this content:
{
"mcpServers": {
"proton_server": {
"command": "python3",
"args": [
"PATH_TO/main.py"
]
}
}
}You’ll need environment variables - p_username and p_password for Proton or g_username and g_password for Gmail. The Gmail password needs to be an app-specific password, not your regular account password. You can put these in an env.py file if you want.
Restart Claude, and you should see the two tools under the hammer icon below the chat.
You can then use prompts like: “Write an email with a HTML body accepting the invitation to the Bloomsday lecture.”
Use at your own risk. It’s a proof-of-concept, not a finished product.
