FastMail

You can manage FastMail with automated AI-powered email organization and powerful MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. This server lets you connect an MCP client to control and query your FastMail account, organize messages, summarize content, and automate workflows—all through a consistent MCP interface.

How to use

Connect to the MCP server from your MCP client to run actions like listing mailboxes, searching emails, and generating AI-assisted replies. You can use the Claude integration flow to bridge your client to the server, enabling you to perform tasks from a conversational or scripted interface. The server exposes a range of tools for email management, AI-powered analysis, and calendar/contact integration, all driven by MCP commands.

How to install

# Docker Run (standalone container)
docker run -d \
  --name fastmail-mcp-server \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e FASTMAIL_API_TOKEN=your_token \
  -e FASTMAIL_EMAIL=your_email@fastmail.com \
  gr3enarr0w/fastmail-mcp-server:latest

# Docker Compose (recommended for multi-service environments)

  fastmail-mcp-server:
    image: gr3enarr0w/fastmail-mcp-server:latest
    container_name: fastmail-mcp-server

# Unraid installation steps (manual UI flow)
# 1. Go to Community Applications
# 2. Search for "FastMail MCP" and install
# 3. Provide your FastMail API credentials in the configuration UI

Additional startup and integration notes

Two practical ways to connect programmatically are through a local stdio bridge and through a remote MCP bridge. The following configuration snippet shows how to register a local stdio MCP server in your MCP client profile. You can adapt it to your client’s configuration flow.

Claude integration example (stdio config)

Use a local stdio bridge to expose the MCP server to Claude Code or Claude Desktop. The exact command and arguments are shown here for your reference.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fastmail-server": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["exec", "-i", "fastmail-mcp-server", "node", "src/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Security and reliability notes

The container runs with non-root privileges and a read-only filesystem where possible, with explicit resource limits and network isolation. Credentials such as API tokens are passed via environment variables to isolate secrets from code.
