Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect your email inbox directly to AI clients like Claude Desktop or Cursor using the native InboxParse MCP server.
Overview
The InboxParse MCP server allows LLMs to interact with your emails securely. Instead of manually copying and pasting email content, your AI agent can search threads, read messages, and summarize conversations in real-time.

{
"mcpServers": {
"inboxparse": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@inboxparse/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"INBOXPARSE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
