# Agent Email MCP Server Local email connectivity for AI agents — read, draft, send, and organize Outlook mail via MCP **Publisher claimed.** No tool list reported, and Pod has not connected to this server. ## Status Pod has not dialled Agent Email yet, so everything on this page is what its publisher reported rather than what we observed. Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim. ## Connect Published as `email-agent-mcp` on npm. Runs locally. ## Known issues **75 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team.** Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded — those are release checklists and internal refactors, not things that will go wrong for you.

This follow-up was deferred from #76 (out-of-scope per the original issue) and is now unblocked since #76 refactored MCP `read_email` to be a thin adapter over `readEmailAction.run()`. ## Background After #76 landed, `packages/email-mcp/src/server.ts` `read_email` delegates to `readEmailAction.run()` but hardcodes `strip_signatures: false` for [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/87) · 2026-05-08 · closed · 3 comments ### Dead in-memory mailboxStore in email-core: four unreachable actions the MCP server bypasses with a 10-line apology ## Summary `packages/email-core/src/actions/configure.ts` maintains an in-memory `mailboxStore` (`configure.ts:20`) read/written by `configureMailboxAction`, `removeMailboxAction`, and `listMailboxesAction` (`configure.ts:116`), and `getMailboxStatusAction` (`packages/email-core/src/actions/status.ts:52`) reads the same store via `getMailboxStore()` (`status.ts:4,62`). **No production code path ever populates that store**, so all four actions are unreachable dead code: - The MCP server loads m [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/175) · 2026-08-11 · closed · 2 comments ### Expose the existing `list_mailboxes` action in the public MCP tool surface ## Summary The repository already contains a `list_mailboxes` action and a matching specification, but it does not appear to be exposed as an MCP tool in the public server surface. As a result, an MCP client inspecting the available tools today cannot enumerate configured mailboxes without falling back to undocumented behavior (e.g. calling `get_mailbox_status` with no `mailbox` argument and inspecting what it returns — which, on inspection of the code, returns the default mailbox's status, not [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/93) · 2026-05-20 · closed · 2 comments ### Add scheduled send (deferred delivery) for outbound email ## Summary The MCP server can create drafts and send messages immediately, but has no way to schedule a message to be delivered at a future time. Users who want "send Friday at 8 AM" or "hold this until tomorrow morning so it lands at the top of the recipient's inbox" currently have to either click around the Outlook UI manually or roll their own Graph calls. This is a common pattern when an agent assists with outbound communication on a deadline (e.g., "draft this and queue it for tomorrow mor [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/61) · 2026-04-28 · closed · 2 comments ### Most recent ### Outlook attachment download can fail when a host shortens long REST IDs ## Problem Some MCP hosts can expose Microsoft Graph's long default REST IDs with a middle segment missing. Passing that altered message or attachment ID back to `download_attachment` makes Graph return `ErrorInvalidIdMalformed`. ## Reproduction evidence - The installed one-shot CLI preserved a synthetic/default Graph message ID at 152 characters. - The host-exposed representation of the same ID was 120 characters, with the same prefix and suffix but a 32-character middle segment missing. - G [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/199) · 2026-08-27 · closed · 0 comments ### send_email: non-ASCII Subject is not RFC 2047-encoded and ends up triple UTF-8 encoded (mojibake); body is fine ## Summary When sending mail whose **Subject contains non-ASCII characters** (e.g. CJK), the delivered `Subject:` header is garbled. The **body is encoded correctly** (quoted-printable UTF-8), so this is specific to header handling. Two defects combine: 1. The Gmail provider never **RFC 2047-encodes** header values — non-ASCII subjects are placed raw into the header. 2. The subject string is additionally **double-encoded upstream** before it reaches the provider, so the bytes on the wire are * [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/198) · 2026-08-24 · open · external user · 0 comments ### `create_draft` unnecessarily requires `to` when `reply_to` can derive recipients ## Summary `create_draft` requires an explicit `to` value even when `reply_to` is supplied: ```text MISSING_FIELD: to is required — provide it as a parameter or in body_file frontmatter ``` That requirement is redundant on a threaded reply. The provider already knows the parent message and can derive the sender-only or reply-all recipient set from `reply_to` plus `reply_all`. This is the remaining edge after #164.

Now that `EMAIL_ACTIONS` in `@usejunior/email-core` is a populated canonical registry (28 actions), `packages/email-mcp/src/server.ts` should derive its core-backed MCP tools from it instead of the hand-maintained list of `wrapAction(...)` calls (~line 1058 onward), fulfilling the "Action to Tool Mapping" requirement in `openspec/specs/mcp-transport/spec.md` ("WHEN a new action is added to `EMAIL_ACTIONS` in email-core THEN it automatically appears [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/178) · 2026-08-11 · open · 0 comments ### LazyProviderState keeps two representations of "which mailboxes exist", bridged by a fallback that fabricates emailAddress from a display name ## Summary `LazyProviderState` (`packages/email-mcp/src/server.ts:41-53`) carries **two representations of "which mailboxes exist"**: - singular: `provider` / `auth` / `connectedMailbox` / `connectedProvider` - plural: `mailboxes: LazyMailboxState[]` Because the two can disagree, `fallbackConnectedMailbox()` (`server.ts:406-420`) exists to synthesize a plural entry from the singular fields whenever `mailboxes[]` is empty, and `getKnownMailboxes()` (`server.ts:422-424`) bridges every consumer [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/176) · 2026-08-11 · closed · 0 comments ### email-core: EMAIL_ACTIONS registry is permanently empty — public API exports a dead, always-[] array ## Summary `packages/email-core/src/actions/registry.ts` declares itself the "single source of truth for all email actions" (line 1), but nothing in the codebase ever calls `registerAction()` — so the `EMAIL_ACTIONS` array exported as public API from the published npm package `@usejunior/email-core` (0.1.11) is **permanently empty at runtime**, while the real tool list is hand-maintained in `packages/email-mcp/src/server.ts`. ## Evidence (validated by an executed Codex peer review) - `package [Read the thread](https://github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp/issues/174) · 2026-08-11 · closed · 0 comments ### Action-layer retry wraps non-idempotent send operations: ambiguous failures can double-send, and Graph/Gmail errors bypass the retryable-error contract ## Summary `withRetry` (`packages/email-core/src/providers/provider.ts:239`) wraps the three delivery boundaries — `send_email → provider.sendMessage` (`packages/email-core/src/actions/send.ts:231`), `reply_to_email → provider.replyToMessage` (`packages/email-core/src/actions/reply.ts:226`), and `send_draft → provider.sendDraft` (`packages/email-core/src/actions/draft.ts:313`) — with `{ maxRetries: 3 }` (4 total attempts).
