Mail.tm FAQs

Question 1

What is Mail.tm MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

Mail.tm MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI assistants to programmatically manage temporary email addresses via the mail.tm API. It allows AI to create disposable inboxes, read messages, and handle account management.

Question 2

How does Mail.tm benefit AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

It provides AI assistants with the capability to interact with email services for tasks requiring temporary verification, testing, or privacy. AI can automate sign-ups, receive one-time passwords, or process information from transient email communications without needing access to real inboxes.

Question 3

What kind of email management features does Mail.tm offer?

Accepted Answer

Users can create new disposable email accounts (random or custom), list and read messages from an inbox, mark emails as read, permanently delete messages, and manage mail.tm account sessions, including logging in, logging out, or deleting accounts.

Question 4

How can I integrate Mail.tm with my AI applications?

Accepted Answer

Mail.tm runs as a streamable-http MCP server, making it compatible with any MCP client supporting this transport, such as mcpjungle and Claude Desktop (HTTP mode). It can be easily deployed using Docker Compose or manually via Docker.

Question 5

Is session management handled automatically with Mail.tm?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the server stores the active session in `/tmp/mailtm_session.json`, allowing it to persist between tool calls. For Docker deployments, mounting `/tmp` as a volume ensures sessions survive container restarts. You can explicitly log out or delete an account to clear the session.
