What it does

The server gives an agent access to Apple Mail on macOS through 25 tools, of which 11 only read and 14 change data. Reading: lists of mailboxes and accounts, message search and retrieval, threads, statistics, attachment content, templates. Actions: flags, moving and deleting to Trash, saving attachments to disk with a size cap, reply or forward drafts, creating and editing mailboxes, rules and templates. Destructive operations (`delete_*`, `create_rule` with move, forward or delete actions, `create_draft` with `send_now=true`) ask for confirmation through MCP elicitation. Installation: an `.mcpb` file for Claude Desktop or a Claude Code plugin via `/plugin marketplace add`. `uv` resolves dependencies.

Who it is for. macOS users with Apple Mail configured who want to triage mail, draft replies and tidy mailboxes through Claude.

Good fit when

  • Triage the inbox by topic and show a per-mailbox summary.
  • Prepare a reply or forward draft from an email thread.
  • Save attachments from selected messages to a folder on disk.
  • Create a sorting rule or a template for standard replies.

Not a fit when

  • You are not on macOS or do not use Apple Mail: the server works only with that client.
  • The agent must not see mail content and attachments.
  • A stable version is needed: the project is pre-1.0 and the tool surface changes.

Example request

Find emails from accounting over the last month, make a short summary and prepare a draft reply to the latest one without sending.

Limitations

It works only on macOS 10.15 or newer with Apple Mail configured and Python 3.10+, controlling mail through AppleScript. The project is pre-1.0: tool names, parameters and response shapes still change, so pin a version such as `apple-mail-fast-mcp==0.11.0` and read the changelog. Mail and attachment contents enter the model context and forwarding rules can send mail out, so never confirm them unread. The repository was last updated on 9 September 2026 and uses the MIT licence.

How to disable. Remove the server in Claude Desktop settings (Extensions) or run `/plugin uninstall` for the Claude Code plugin. Delete rules and templates created in Mail by hand in the app itself.

FAQ

How many tools does the server have?

Twenty-five: eleven read only and fourteen change data. Full parameters are in `docs/reference/TOOLS.md`.

Which actions require confirmation?

Deletion, rules that move, forward or delete messages, and sending a draft with `send_now=true`.

How to install in Claude Desktop?

Download the `.mcpb` file from the releases page and open it or drag it into Settings, then Extensions; `uv` pulls Python and dependencies.

Does it work on Windows or Linux?

No, macOS 10.15+ and the Apple Mail app with at least one configured account are required.

Can the version be pinned?

Yes, and the README advises doing so before 1.0, for example `apple-mail-fast-mcp==0.11.0`, because the tool surface changes.

README in short

The README groups tools by lifecycle, warns about the pre-1.0 version and gives two install paths: an `.mcpb` bundle and a plugin.
