JMAP MCP Server

A Deno workspace containing a functional JMAP email client and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built on top of it. The client package uses jmap-jam for JMAP protocol access; the MCP package adapts those typed operations into tools.

Features

Email Management Tools

Search Emails: Search emails with text queries, sender/recipient filters, date ranges, and keywords. All filters are AND'd together.
Get Emails: Retrieve specific emails by ID with configurable property selection
Get Threads: Retrieve email threads (conversation chains)
Mark Emails: Mark emails as read/unread, flagged/unflagged
Move Emails: Move emails to one mailbox
Patch Email Mailboxes: Add or remove selected mailbox memberships while preserving unspecified memberships
Delete Emails: Delete emails permanently

Mailbox Management

Get Mailboxes: List all mailboxes/folders with hierarchy support. Use this to find mailbox IDs needed by other tools.

Incremental Sync

Get Email Changes: Get IDs of emails created, updated, or destroyed since a previous state (state-based delta tracking)
Get Search Updates: Get additions/removals within a previous search query since its last queryState

Email Composition

Send Email: Compose and send new emails with support for plain text and HTML
Reply to Email: Reply to existing emails with automatic header handling and reply-all support

Key Capabilities

Full JMAP RFC 8620/8621 compliance via jmap-jam
Comprehensive input validation with Zod schemas
Pagination support for all list operations
State-based incremental sync for efficient polling
Rich error handling and connection management
Capability-based tool registration (read-only, submission)
TypeScript support with strong typing

Reusable JMAP Client

Standalone applications can import @wyattjoh/jmap without creating an MCP server or transport:

import { connectJmap, searchEmails } from "jsr:@wyattjoh/jmap";

const connection = await connectJmap({
  sessionUrl: Deno.env.get("JMAP_SESSION_URL")!,
  bearerToken: Deno.env.get("JMAP_BEARER_TOKEN")!,
  accountId: Deno.env.get("JMAP_ACCOUNT_ID"),
});

const unread = await searchEmails(connection, {
  filter: { inMailbox: "inbox-id", notKeyword: "$seen" },
  limit: 50,
  position: 0,
});

See packages/jmap/README.md for the client package.

Installation

Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)

Install via the plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add wyattjoh/claude-code-marketplace
/plugin install jmap-mcp@wyattjoh-marketplace

Then configure the required environment variables in your MCP server settings.

Prerequisites

Deno v2 or later
A JMAP-compliant email server (e.g., Cyrus IMAP, Stalwart Mail Server, FastMail)
Valid JMAP authentication credentials

Setup

Add the following to your agent of choice:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jmap": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "deno",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--allow-net=api.fastmail.com",
        "--allow-env=JMAP_SESSION_URL,JMAP_BEARER_TOKEN,JMAP_ACCOUNT_ID",
        "jsr:@wyattjoh/[email protected]"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JMAP_SESSION_URL": "https://api.fastmail.com/jmap/session",
        "JMAP_BEARER_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace api.fastmail.com in --allow-net with your JMAP server's hostname if not using FastMail.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`JMAP_SESSION_URL`	Yes	JMAP server session URL (usually ends with `/.well-known/jmap`)
`JMAP_BEARER_TOKEN`	Yes	Bearer token for authentication
`JMAP_ACCOUNT_ID`	No	Account ID (auto-detected if not provided)

Available Tools

`get_mailboxes`

List mailboxes/folders with their IDs, names, and metadata. Call this first to get mailbox IDs needed by search_emails (inMailbox) and move_emails (mailboxId). Common names: Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Archive, Spam/Junk.

Parameters:

parentId (optional): Filter by parent mailbox ID
limit (optional): Max results (1-200, default: 100)
position (optional): Starting position for pagination

`search_emails`

Search emails with filters. All filters are AND'd together. Returns only email IDs — use get_emails to fetch content. Results include queryState for incremental sync via get_search_updates.

Parameters:

query (optional): Text search across all fields
body (optional): Search in message body only
from (optional): Filter by sender email address
to (optional): Filter by recipient email address
subject (optional): Filter by subject text
inMailbox (optional): Mailbox ID to search within (get from get_mailboxes)
hasKeyword (optional): Filter by keyword (e.g., $seen, $flagged)
notKeyword (optional): Exclude by keyword (e.g., $seen, $draft)
allInThreadHaveKeyword (optional): All emails in thread must have keyword
someInThreadHaveKeyword (optional): At least one email in thread must have keyword
before (optional): Only emails before date (ISO 8601 datetime)
after (optional): Only emails after date (ISO 8601 datetime)
limit (optional): Max results (1-100, default: 50)
position (optional): Starting position for pagination (default: 0)

`get_emails`

Retrieve specific emails by their IDs. Use properties to request only what you need — fetching all properties returns large payloads.

Parameters:

ids: Array of email IDs (1-50 IDs)
properties (optional): Specific properties to return. Recommended sets:
- Summary: ["id", "subject", "from", "to", "receivedAt", "preview"]
- Full read: ["id", "subject", "from", "to", "cc", "receivedAt", "bodyValues", "textBody", "htmlBody"]
- Note: To get body content, include bodyValues AND textBody/htmlBody

`get_threads`

Get email threads by their IDs. Thread IDs come from get_emails responses (threadId property). Returns email IDs per thread — use get_emails on those IDs to fetch content.

Parameters:

ids: Array of thread IDs (1-20 IDs)

`get_email_changes`

Get IDs of emails created, updated, or destroyed since a previous state. Use the state string from a get_emails response.

Parameters:

sinceState: State string from a previous get_emails response
maxChanges (optional): Max changes to return (1-500)
fetchEmails (optional): Auto-fetch full email details for changed IDs (default: false)

Development

Running in Development

deno task watch     # Run with file watching
deno task start     # Run without watching

Testing

deno task test      # Run all tests
deno task check     # Type-check both packages
deno task lint      # Lint workspace packages
deno task fmt       # Format code
deno task publish:check # Validate both JSR packages

Architecture

The repository is a Deno workspace with two independently publishable packages:

packages/jmap / @wyattjoh/jmap: Functional connection, retrieval, incremental sync, mutation, and submission operations
packages/jmap-mcp / @wyattjoh/jmap-mcp: MCP schemas, tool adapters, capability registration, and stdio entrypoint

The MCP adapters call the client package directly. JMAP behavior belongs in the client package; transport validation and user-facing tool contracts belong in the MCP package.

Security

All input is validated using Zod schemas
Environment variables are used for sensitive configuration
No secrets are logged or exposed in responses
Follows JMAP security best practices
