As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "EMAIL_IMAP_EMAIL=<YOUR_EMAIL_IMAP_EMAIL>" --env "EMAIL_IMAP_PASSWORD=<YOUR_EMAIL_IMAP_PASSWORD>" --transport stdio mcp-server-email-imap -- npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-email-imap[mcp_servers.mcp-server-email-imap]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@mindstone/mcp-server-email-imap"]
[mcp_servers.mcp-server-email-imap.env]
EMAIL_IMAP_EMAIL = "<YOUR_EMAIL_IMAP_EMAIL>"
EMAIL_IMAP_PASSWORD = "<YOUR_EMAIL_IMAP_PASSWORD>"{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-email-imap": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mindstone/mcp-server-email-imap"
],
"env": {
"EMAIL_IMAP_EMAIL": "<YOUR_EMAIL_IMAP_EMAIL>",
"EMAIL_IMAP_PASSWORD": "<YOUR_EMAIL_IMAP_PASSWORD>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: EMAIL_IMAP_IMAP_HOST, EMAIL_IMAP_IMAP_PORT, EMAIL_IMAP_MAX_RECIPIENTS, EMAIL_IMAP_PROVIDER, EMAIL_IMAP_RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOUR, EMAIL_IMAP_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS, EMAIL_IMAP_SMTP_HOST, EMAIL_IMAP_SMTP_PORT, MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH.
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.
