Migadu MCP Server
Control your Migadu email hosting through AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
What is Migadu?
Migadu is a Swiss email hosting service that offers unlimited email addresses with pricing based on actual usage rather than mailbox count. They focus on standard email protocols (SMTP/IMAP/POP3) without vendor lock-in, making them popular with developers and privacy-conscious users.
What This Does
This MCP server lets AI assistants manage your Migadu email accounts. Instead of clicking through web interfaces, you can ask your AI to:
- Create and delete mailboxes
- Set up email aliases and forwarding rules
- Configure autoresponders
- Manage multiple email identities
- Handle bulk operations efficiently
Setup
Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop):
{
"mcpServers": {
"migadu": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["migadu-mcp"],
"env": {
"MIGADU_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
"MIGADU_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"MIGADU_DOMAIN": "yourdomain.com"
}
}
}
}
Get your API key from Migadu Admin > My Account > API Keys.
Example Usage
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Create a new mailbox for [email protected] with the name John Smith"
- "List all mailboxes on my domain"
- "Set up an email alias [email protected] that forwards to [email protected]"
- "Delete the mailboxes for employees who left: [email protected], [email protected]"
- "Create an autoresponder for [email protected]"

FAQ
- What is the Migadu MCP server?
- Migadu is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for Migadu?
- This profile displays 33 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

- +Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
✗ Don't
- −Don't grant overly permissive access to MCP servers
- −Don't skip reading security considerations in docs
- −Don't expose sensitive data without proper controls
- −Don't run untrusted MCP servers without code review
- −Don't ignore error messages—investigate root cause

Technical Details▌
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- JSON-RPC 2.0
- stdio or HTTP transport
Compatibility
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor IDE
- Custom MCP clients
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
Integration▌
- →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
- →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
- →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
- →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
