# AOL Mail MCP Server A production-ready [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for AOL Mail. Works as a local stdio MCP server compatible with **VS Code GitHub Copilot Agent Mode** and **Claude Desktop**. Uses **[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)** for dependency and environment management. --- ## Prerequisites - **uv** package manager (Python 3.11+ included automatically) - An AOL Mail account with IMAP access enabled - An AOL **app password** (not your main AOL password) ### Install uv ```bash # macOS / Linux curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Windows (PowerShell) powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" ``` Verify: `uv --version` --- ## Generate an AOL App Password 1. Sign in at [myaccount.aol.com](https://myaccount.aol.com). 2. Go to **Security** → **Manage app passwords**. 3. Enter a label (e.g. `MCP Server`) and click **Generate password**. 4. Copy the generated password — this is your `AOL_APP_PASSWORD`. > AOL requires an app password for all third-party IMAP/SMTP clients. > Standard account passwords will not work. --- ## Usage There are three ways to run the server depending on your situation. ### Option A — `uvx` (recommended, no install required) Runs directly from PyPI without cloning or installing anything permanently. ```bash uvx aol-mcp ``` Pass credentials via environment variables (see VS Code / Claude Desktop config below). ### Option B — Install as a persistent tool Install once, run anywhere by name. ```bash # From PyPI uv tool install aol-mcp # From GitHub (before PyPI publish) uv tool install git+https://github.com/kubegrind/aol-mcp-server # From a local clone uv tool install . ``` Then run: ```bash AOL_EMAIL=you@aol.com AOL_APP_PASSWORD=yourpassword aol-mcp ``` ### Option C — Local clone (for development / contributors) ```bash git clone https://github.com/kubegrind/aol-mcp-server cd aol-mcp-server uv sync cp .env.example .env #…
