Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Email Spam Tester when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Communication domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Email deliverability testing for agents. Four tools: get a disposable test address, wait for the report once the message arrives, read it, and fetch the raw source. The report has 42 checks (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, 21 blocklists, two spam engines, Gmail and Yahoo bulk sender rules), each linked to its RFC, plus a fix plan. Remote endpoint, no API key.
Unified MCP server for email across Gmail (REST API), Outlook (Microsoft Graph), iCloud, and generic IMAP/SMTP. 24 tools for search, send, organize, and batch-manage emails with built-in OAuth2 and encrypted credential storage.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Email Spam Tester is categorized under Communication and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Email MCP belongs to Communication using local stdio subprocess. Select Email Spam Tester when you need capabilities focused on communication and Email MCP when you require tools for communication.
Search emails with filters. By default returns compact results without full body content to save context. Set returnBody=true to include full email bodies.
email_get
Get a single email by ID
email_get_thread
Get an email thread by thread ID
email_get_attachment
Get an email attachment by ID, returns base64 encoded data
email_save_attachment
Download an email attachment and save it directly to disk, returning metadata only (no base64 in the response) — avoids paying the token cost of round-tripping large attachments through the calling model. outputPath is relative to a fixed downloads directory (/home/user/.email-mcp/downloads, override with EMAIL_MCP_DOWNLOADS_DIR) and cannot escape it.
