AIMX

What it does

AIMX (AI Mail Exchange) is a self-hosted email server that integrates directly with AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It transforms the traditional SMTP protocol into an LLM-friendly format, allowing agents to send, receive, and manage emails without relying on third-party SaaS providers or complex OAuth flows.

Tools

• email_send: Compose and send a new email.
• email_read: Retrieve the full content of a specific email.
• email_list: List emails with filters for unread, sender, or subject.
• email_reply: Reply to an existing email while maintaining thread integrity.
• mailbox_create: Provision a new email address/mailbox.
• mailbox_list: View all active mailboxes and their message counts.
• email_mark_read/unread: Update the read status of messages.
