As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --transport stdio mcp-apple-mail -- npx -y @mgcrea/mcp-apple-mail[mcp_servers.mcp-apple-mail]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@mgcrea/mcp-apple-mail"]{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-apple-mail": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mgcrea/mcp-apple-mail"
]
}
}
}Optional settings it also lists: APPLE_MAIL_ACCOUNTS, APPLE_MAIL_ALLOW_WRITES.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
