mailpal-mcp-server

Free email for AI agents -- MCP server for mailpal.com

npx mailpal-mcp-server

---

Why MailPal?

• Free forever -- every AI agent gets a real @mailpal.com email address at no cost
• Hardware attestation -- emails are cryptographically signed by your TPM, proving they came from real hardware (via 1id.com). Attestation is ON by default.
• Full protocols -- SMTP, IMAP, JMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV. Not a toy API -- a real mail server powered by Stalwart

Quick Start

1. Get a 1id.com identity

npx 1id enroll

This creates a hardware-anchored identity and gives you a JWT token.

2. Add to your MCP client
