Frequently asked questions

What tools does the server provide?

It provides three MCP tools: `search_emails`, `download_attachment`, and `list_folders`.

What dependencies are required?

You need Python 3.10 or higher, the `uv` package manager, and an MCP-enabled AI tool such as Claude Desktop.

Where is the email data stored?

Your email credentials are stored locally in `claude_desktop_config.json` with the password encrypted using a secret key. Email data itself remains on the IMAP server.

How is my password secured?

The password is encrypted with a secret key (`EMAIL_SECRET_KEY`) and stored as `EMAIL_PASSWORD_ENC` in the configuration file. The secret key can decrypt it, but the config file resides only on your local machine.

Is this server compatible with any MCP client?

It has been tested on Claude Desktop and LibreChat with Ollama, but should work with any MCP‑enabled client that supports stdio transport.
