Notmuch

Rating: 69
Author: M8ven

An MCP server that exposes a local notmuch email database to an LLM client such as Claude. It is read-first: searching, reading, and understanding mail is always available; writing anything (drafts, tags, exported files) requires an explicit opt-in flag and is confined to clearly bounded locations.
