### Description (declared)

# Fastmail Blade MCP

The only [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server built on Fastmail's native JMAP protocol — email, masked email, and push notifications with token-efficient output.

Wraps the [Fastmail JMAP API](https://www.fastmail.com/dev/) via [jmapc](https://github.com/smkent/jmapc) as an MCP server using [FastMCP 2.0](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp).

## Why Fastmail Blade?

Every other email MCP uses IMAP — a 1986 protocol that was never designed for programmatic access. Fastmail Blade uses **JMAP**, Fastmail's native protocol:

- **JMAP-native** — stateless, JSON-based, supports batch operations natively. No IDLE hacks, no MIME parsing, no connection state management.
- **Masked Email** — full CRUD for Fastmail's privacy aliases (create, list, enable/disable). No IMAP MCP can touch this — it's a Fastmail extension that only exists in JMAP.
- **Push notifications** — real-time EventSource via JMAP Push. Know when mail arrives without polling.
- **Incremental sync** — JMAP state tokens for delta changes. Get only what's new since your last check, not the entire mailbox.
- **Token-efficient** — concise pipe-delimited output, null-field omission. IMAP MCPs dump raw headers and MIME multipart.
- **Write-safe** — env-gated writes, batch limits (50 max), credential scrubbing on all error paths.

## Features

- **18 tools**: email read/write/manage, masked email, push notifications, meta
- **Masked Email management** — no other MCP server exposes this Fastmail extension
- **JMAP Push (EventSource)** — real-time state change notifications
- **Write-gate** — all write operations disabled by default (`FASTMAIL_WRITE_ENABLED=true`)
- **Token-efficient** — concise output, capped lists, null-field omission
- **Batch limits** — `mail_bulk` capped at 50, `mail_search` defaults to 20
- **SKILL.md** — self-teaching instructions for Claude
