CamelMailer MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for CamelMailer — lets AI assistants like Claude send and inspect transactional email. Works with the CamelMailer cloud and any self-hosted instance.

Setup

You need a server API key from your CamelMailer dashboard.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "camelmailer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "camelmailer-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CAMELMAILER_API_KEY": "cm_xxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Until the packages land on npm, use the GitHub source instead: "args": ["-y", "github:camelmailer/camelmailer-mcp"]

Claude Code

claude mcp add camelmailer -e CAMELMAILER_API_KEY=cm_xxxx -- npx -y camelmailer-mcp

Self-hosted instances

Point the server at your own instance (defaults to https://app.camelmailer.com):

"env": {
  "CAMELMAILER_API_KEY": "cm_xxxx",
  "CAMELMAILER_BASE_URL": "https://mail.example.com"
}

Errors

API failures come back as tool errors carrying the stable CamelMailer error code (Unauthorized, NotFound, ValidationError, …), so the assistant can react — nothing crashes the server.
