Proton Mail Bridge Client Overview

googlarz/proton-mail-bridge-client connects MCP clients and its CLI to Proton Mail through a locally running Proton Mail Bridge instance. It supports mailbox search, reading, drafting, sending, thread triage, folder management, attachment handling, calendar invitations, and multiple isolated accounts. A local SQLite index enables full-text search, while safety modes control whether actions are read-only, draft-only, assisted, or fully enabled. Reach for it when an agent or script needs to work with Proton Mail without using a third-party mail relay.

Primary Use Cases for Proton Mail Bridge Client:
  • Search a local Proton Mail index for messages and attachments
  • Draft replies for review without sending them
  • Triage, archive, move, or batch-process email threads
  • Run Proton Mail workflows from scripts, cron jobs, or pipelines
