pyfastmail-mcp
Python MCP server for Fastmail — email, contacts, calendars, and files
Documentation
pyfastmail-mcp
An MCP server that gives AI assistants full access to your Fastmail account — email, contacts, calendars, and file storage.
> ⚠️ This server can send email, delete messages, and modify contacts/calendars on your behalf. AI assistants may act on content from untrusted sources (emails, web pages, files) which could contain prompt injection attacks. Review tool calls before approving them, especially actions that send email or delete data.
Features
| Domain | Protocol | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| JMAP | Send, reply, forward, search, read, pin, archive, keywords, masked email, attachments, threads, import/export, identities | |
| Contacts | JMAP | List address books, CRUD contacts, query |
| Calendar | CalDAV | List calendars, CRUD events (optional — requires app password) |
| Files | WebDAV | List, upload, download, move, delete, create folders (optional — requires app password) |
Installation
pip install pyfastmail-mcpOr run directly with `uvx`:
uvx pyfastmail-mcpConfiguration
1. Get Fastmail Credentials
You need an API token from Fastmail. An app password is optional (only needed for calendar and file storage).
- API Token (required — mail and contacts): Fastmail Settings → Privacy & Security → API Tokens — enable the `urn:ietf:params:jmap:contacts` capability
- App Password (optional — calendars and files): Fastmail Settings → Privacy & Security → App Passwords — create one with the "DAV (CardDAV, CalDAV, WebDAV)" scope
If you only set the API token, the server starts with mail and contacts tools. Calendar and file tools are registered only when the app password is also provided.
2. Set Environment Variables
export FASTMAIL_API_TOKEN="fmu1-..."
export FASTMAIL_APP_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
export FASTMAIL_EMAIL="you@fastmail.com"3. Add to Your MCP Client
