MCP Email Search: Let Claude Search Your Archive
Evermail is the only email archive platform with a native MCP endpoint. Connect Claude Desktop, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant to your entire email history — and ask it questions in plain English.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that gives AI assistants a structured, live connection to external tools and data sources. Instead of copy-pasting text into a chat window, MCP lets the AI query your data on demand — fetching exactly what it needs, when it needs it.
Think of it as giving Claude a direct line to your email archive. You ask "what did we agree with Acme Corp in March?" and Claude searches your archive, reads the relevant threads, and gives you a grounded answer — without you ever leaving the chat.
What can you do with AI email search via MCP?
Your email archive contains years of institutional knowledge. MCP makes it conversational.
"When did I last contact the IT team about the server migration?" — Claude searches your archive and returns the exact thread, not just a list of emails.
"Summarise the negotiations with Supplier X from last year." Claude reads the full thread chain and produces a concise summary with key decisions and dates.
After an employee leaves, their email archive remains searchable. Ask Claude to find open commitments, client contacts, or project context without manually browsing thousands of emails.
"Find all emails mentioning the contract with Company Y before the dispute." Claude retrieves relevant evidence without requiring a manual keyword search across years of archived email.
How Evermail's MCP endpoint works
Evermail exposes a standard MCP endpoint at https://app.evermail.ai/mcp.
When you connect Claude (or any MCP client) to this endpoint, the AI gains access to a set of search tools that query your Evermail archive — scoped to only the mailboxes and archives you own.
Authentication uses a bearer token tied to your Evermail account. You can revoke the token at any time from your account settings. All requests are encrypted in transit. Your raw email files never leave Evermail's EU infrastructure — Claude only receives structured search results.
Evermail's MCP tools currently support: full-text email search, sender/recipient filtering, date range queries, thread retrieval, and per-archive scoping. AI-assisted summarisation happens client-side in Claude using the retrieved content.
