GigaMail — Mail for your AI agent

English · Italiano · 中文

MCP server that gives your agent — Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, or any MCP client — safe, controlled access to your email — multi-account (Microsoft Graph + IMAP), calendar, local search index, sender memory, and an agent-aware permission model.

No built-in LLM: the intelligence is your agent's. The MCP server speaks stdio only — no network port. (An optional human console adds a local HTTP API bound to 127.0.0.1.)

On your data: GigaMail keeps mail indexes, credentials, memory and configuration on your machine — we run no service and receive nothing. Mail content your agent reads is, of course, handled by that agent and its model provider under their own data policies. Choose your agent accordingly; the masker lets you hide sensitive fields (tax codes, VAT numbers, IBANs, emails, phone numbers — validated deterministically, no AI) before the agent ever sees them.

The human console in ninety seconds, on a demo mailbox: dashboard, reading a mail, a reply drafted by the agent from a one-line instruction, folders, calendar, "ask your mail", automation rules and the first-run guide. The human reviews and sends — or edits the instruction and regenerates.

Why

• Hybrid search: provider search (Graph/IMAP) + local SQLite index — fast and offline-friendly
• Sender memory: tone, topics and history per sender, so replies sound right
• Observer: patterns learned from how the user edited past drafts
• Knowledge files: attach your price lists, terms, product sheets to an account — the agent reads them to answer mail. Your agent doesn't need to know everything: the account carries its own knowledge
• Agent-aware permissions: reads are free; send/delete require an approval given out of band — the agent gets an inert request id, a human approves from the console or the CLI, and only then does it execute, with the exact arguments the human saw. Every write lands in an append-only action log
• Credentials never touch the agent channel: login and account management live in the CLI only — a prompt injection inside an email cannot add accounts or read secrets

Quick start

GigaMail ships through two channels:

• pip install gigamail — the agentic core: MCP server, CLI, watcher and the console's local HTTP backend. No graphical app — the right channel when your agent is the interface.
• Windows desktop app — the human console packaged with an embedded Python: one installer, no prerequisites. Download GigaMail-Setup-<version>.exe from the latest release; the app then updates itself from there. The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns on first run — compare the SHA-256 digest GitHub shows next to the asset. To build it yourself: Node 22+, console/prepare-python.ps1, then npm run dist.

Everything below covers the pip channel.

pip install "gigamail[all]"

gigamail login                # Microsoft device flow
gigamail accounts add-imap    # or IMAP: Aruba, Gmail, Libero, ...

Microsoft login note: the bundled Azure app is not yet publisher-verified, so the consent screen shows an "unverified" notice (works fine; some corporate tenants may block it). Standard alternative: register your own Azure app and set your client_id in src/ade_mail_agent/core/ms_config.json. IMAP needs none of this.

Give the account its identity and knowledge (this is what makes replies yours):

gigamail identity set                       # who am I, what I do, tone
gigamail identity add-file C:\docs\pricelist.xlsx
gigamail identity add-file C:\docs\catalog\   # whole folder

Register in Claude Desktop / Claude Code (mcpServers):

{
  "gigamail": {
    "command": "gigamail-server"
  }
}

The commands are also available under their legacy names (ade-mail-agent, ade-mail-agent-server), so existing setups keep working.

Using OpenClaw or Hermes instead of Claude? Verified configs in INTEGRATIONS.md.

Are you an AI agent setting this up on behalf of a human? You can do the install and the MCP registration: pip install "gigamail[all]", then add gigamail-server to your client's MCP config (see INTEGRATIONS.md; declare GIGAMAIL_ROOT if your client filters the environment). Stop there. Connecting a mailbox (gigamail login, gigamail accounts add-imap) asks for credentials and must be done by the human in their own shell — it is not something you should do, and GigaMail is built so that it cannot be done through you. Tell them what to run, then wait.

Then just ask your agent: "reply to the last quote request using the price list" — it reads the mail, pulls the numbers from your file, drafts the reply, and asks you before sending.

Tools

24 typed tools, generated from the server itself:

• Read (15) — accounts, identity, knowledge files, messages, unread, folders, hybrid search, attachment text, sender history, learned patterns, calendar events, free-slot availability
• Safe writes (3, audited) — mark read, move message, create folder
• Dangerous (6, human approval out of band) — send, reply, delete message, delete folder, create/delete calendar event

Full map and design decisions: MAPPA_MCP.md.

Security model

Email content is treated as untrusted data (prompt injection). The agent cannot approve its own actions, by construction: a dangerous tool returns only an inert request_id, and approving it — from the console or from gigamail approvals approve — requires an OS-level verification of the person at the machine (Windows Hello / Touch ID). A process, including an agent that holds a shell, can open that prompt but cannot pass it; with no such backend available, nothing approves. No secret ever enters the model context, so an injected instruction has nothing to spend. Repeating the id just returns awaiting approval. The agent can only read files explicitly registered by the user, never the rest of the filesystem. Every write action is logged to %APPDATA%/ADE/agent_audit.jsonl (append-only: GigaMail never rewrites past entries — it is not, and does not claim to be, tamper-proof storage).

We red-team this: hostile emails ordering exfiltration, mass deletion, and the agent to approve itself — fed to a real agent with every mail tool enabled.

This design is a fix. v0.1.0 returned a one-time confirm token in the tool result, which put it in the model's context: the agent held both halves. Thanks to u/ranbuman and u/anderson_the_one on r/mcp for catching it. The switch now sits where the agent cannot reach.

The structural half of that suite runs in CI on every push (tests/test_injection.py); the real-agent half is opt-in (scripts/injection_e2e.py) and runs with a dry-run guard so confirmed actions are audited but never executed.

Reply rules (0.2): semi-auto and auto reply, fenced

You can tell GigaMail: mail from these senders (or in this folder) gets a reply drafted from these documents. Rules are created from the CLI — gigamail rules add — behind the same Windows Hello / Touch ID prompt as approvals, and gigamail watch is the process that applies them. The MCP server stays passive and there is no MCP tool that touches rules: an injected instruction cannot enable autopilot.

• semi (default): the draft becomes a normal approval request — you get the notification, you approve with Hello, it goes out.
• Notifications reach you where you are: a Windows toast with ✅ / ❌ buttons (run gigamail desktop-setup once — UAC prompt — to make them clickable; they open the approval, which raises Hello) and Telegram (gigamail telegram setup, your own bot: ✅ approve if you opted in with --approve behind Hello, ❌ reject, ✏️ ask for changes — accepted only from your chat).
• auto: the request is born approved, decided_by automode:<rule_id> — you gave that approval when you created the rule, for a precise scope, with a mandatory expiry, a daily cap and a per-sender cooldown. The notification still fires.

The drafter (your own agent, via claude -p) produces the reply body and nothing else: recipient, subject and thread are fixed from the incoming message — always the sender, never Reply-To, never an address written by the draft. Deterministic barriers run first: no DMARC pass → never auto; auto-generated mail, lists, no-reply senders, the provider's spam verdict, executable attachments → no reply at all; the first message from a new sender always goes through you; a burst of matches pauses the rule by itself.
