Mail.tm MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants manage temporary email addresses via the mail.tm API. Create disposable inboxes, read messages, and manage accounts — all from your AI chat.

Tools

Tool	Description
list_domains	List available domains for creating temp addresses
create_temp_email	Create a new disposable email account (random or custom)
login	Log in to an existing mail.tm account
get_inbox	List messages in the current inbox (paginated)
read_email	Read the full content of an email by ID
mark_as_read	Mark a message as read
delete_email	Permanently delete a message
get_account_info	Get current account details and storage usage
delete_account	Permanently delete the account and all its messages
logout	Clear the current session without deleting the account

Transport

The server runs as a streamable-http MCP server on port 8000, endpoint /mcp.

Compatible with:

• mcpjungle
• Claude Desktop (HTTP mode)
• Any MCP client that supports streamable-http

Quick Start

Docker Compose (recommended)

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opastorello/mailtm-mcp-server/master/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Server available at http://localhost:8000/mcp.

Docker (manual)

docker pull ghcr.io/opastorello/mailtm-mcp-server:latest
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v mailtm-session:/tmp --name mailtm ghcr.io/opastorello/mailtm-mcp-server:latest

Local (no Docker)

pip install -r requirements.txt
python mailtm_server.py

Requires Python 3.11+.

Register with mcpjungle

Standalone (mcpjungle on the host)

cat > /tmp/mailtm.json << 'EOF'
{
  "name": "mailtm",
  "transport": "streamable_http",
  "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
}
EOF

mcpjungle register -c /tmp/mailtm.json

mcpjungle running in Docker (same host)

When mcpjungle runs inside Docker, localhost doesn't resolve to the host. You need both containers on the same Docker network.

The included docker-compose.yml handles this automatically — it joins the opt_default network (mcpjungle's default network) and sets a fixed container name mailtm so the hostname never changes across restarts.

# Download and start
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opastorello/mailtm-mcp-server/master/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

# Register using the container hostname
cat > /tmp/mailtm.json << 'EOF'
{
  "name": "mailtm",
  "transport": "streamable_http",
  "url": "http://mailtm:8000/mcp"
}
EOF

mcpjungle register -c /tmp/mailtm.json

Note: The transport value is streamable_http (underscore), not http — this is mcpjungle-specific.

Note: host.docker.internal does not work on Linux. Use the container name or a fixed IP instead.

To re-register after changes:

mcpjungle deregister mailtm
mcpjungle register -c /tmp/mailtm.json

Invoke tools via mcpjungle CLI

mcpjungle invoke mailtm__create_temp_email
mcpjungle invoke mailtm__get_inbox
mcpjungle invoke mailtm__list_domains

Configure in Claude Desktop

Pointing to a running instance:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mailtm": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

---

Session Management

The server stores the active session in /tmp/mailtm_session.json:

• Session persists between tool calls automatically within the same run.
• Mount /tmp as a Docker volume to survive container restarts.
• logout() clears the session without deleting the account.
• delete_account() deletes the account and clears the session.

---

Example Workflow

1. create_temp_email()           → generates a random address like abc123@dollicons.com
2. get_inbox()                   → check for new messages
3. read_email(message_id="...")  → read the content
4. delete_account()              → clean up when done
