Kerio Connect FAQs

Question 1

What is the Kerio Connect MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The Kerio Connect MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide programmatic access to your Kerio Connect environment. It allows for automated management of Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes through an API.

Question 2

Which Kerio Connect features can I manage programmatically?

Accepted Answer

You can programmatically manage comprehensive Mail operations (read, send, search, organize), Calendar events (including recurrence), Contacts (with full vCard support), Task tracking, and Notes organization. It also supports dynamic folder discovery and full-text search across all modules.

Question 3

Is email sending enabled by default for security reasons?

Accepted Answer

No, for enhanced security, email sending is disabled by default. When disabled, the server will only create email drafts. You can enable direct sending by setting the `KERIO_ENABLE_SEND` environment variable to `true` in your configuration.

Question 4

What are the core prerequisites to use this Kerio Connect tool?

Accepted Answer

To use the Kerio Connect MCP Server, you need Node.js (version 18.0.0 or higher), an accessible Kerio Connect server with API access, and valid Kerio Connect credentials (email address and password).

Question 5

How does the MCP server handle secure credential management?

Accepted Answer

Credentials are securely passed via environment variables, not hardcoded. Email sending is disabled by default, and the server binds to localhost via stdio. It also offers configurable SSL certificate verification and automatic session management for robust security.
