This MCP server is provided by amotivv, inc., the creators of Memory Box.

This MCP server provides email sending functionality using Protonmail's SMTP service. It allows both Claude Desktop and Cline VSCode extension to send emails on your behalf using your Protonmail credentials.

This MCP server is compatible with:

• Claude Desktop App: The standalone desktop application for Claude
• Cline VSCode Extension: The Claude extension for Visual Studio Code

The same implementation works across both platforms since they both use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard.

• Send emails to one or multiple recipients
• Support for CC and BCC recipients
• Support for both plain text and HTML email content
• Comprehensive error handling and logging

The server requires the following environment variables to be set in the MCP settings files for both Claude Desktop and Cline:

Located at: /Users/your-username/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Located at: /Users/your-username/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Both configuration files require the following environment variables:

• PROTONMAIL_USERNAME: Your Protonmail email address
• PROTONMAIL_PASSWORD: Your Protonmail SMTP password (not your regular login password)
• PROTONMAIL_HOST: SMTP server hostname (default: smtp.protonmail.ch)
• PROTONMAIL_PORT: SMTP server port (default: 587 for STARTTLS, 465 for SSL/TLS)
• PROTONMAIL_SECURE: Whether to use a secure connection (default: "false" for port 587, "true" for port 465)
• DEBUG: Enable debug logging (set to "true" to see detailed logs, "false" to hide them)

For detailed information about Protonmail's SMTP service, including how to get your SMTP password, please refer to the official Protonmail SMTP documentation.

2. Verify that the SMTP port is not blocked by your firewall
3. Check if your Protonmail account has any sending restrictions
4. Look for error messages in the logs:
   • Claude Desktop app logs
   • Cline VSCode extension output panel
5. Restart the Claude Desktop app or reload the VSCode window after configuration changes

To build the project:
