MCP Email Server

What it does

This MCP server connects LLMs to the SMTP protocol, allowing them to compose and send emails to multiple recipients. It also provides a local file search capability to find attachments within a specified directory using pattern matching, enabling the AI to autonomously find and attach relevant documents to emails.

Tools

• send_email: Sends emails with a specified subject, body, and list of recipients. Supports adding multiple file attachments.
• search_attachments: Searches for files in a local directory that match a given text pattern, allowing the AI to locate files for emailing.
