Unified MCP server for Email, Calendar & Contacts (Google, M365, Zoho, IMAP/SMTP, DAV).
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants read, write and manage your email, calendar and contacts — across Google, Microsoft 365/Outlook, Zoho, and any IMAP/SMTP, CalDAV or CardDAV account — from a single interface.
mcp-ecc aggregates your mail, calendar and contacts into standardised MCP tools (mail.*, calendar.*, contacts.*, accounts.*) so any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, and others — can work with all of them uniformly.

Important for existing installations: install and run the latest 0.6.x migration release before upgrading to 0.7.x.
The migration release changes credential encryption from the discontinued CryptoJS implementation to platform cryptography APIs:
node:crypto with authenticated AES-256-GCM.0.6.x ciphertext is read once and automatically re-encrypted in the new format.MCP_ENCRYPTION_KEY during the upgrade.After the migration release has successfully started and accessed the existing data, upgrade to 0.7.x. Version 0.7.x removes the legacy CryptoJS reader. Back up the SQLite database or D1 database before upgrading.
Point your client at the HTTP endpoint with your per-user API key (shown in the web UI under Settings):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-ecc": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:3001/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>" }
}
}
}

| Provider | Calendar | Contacts | Authentication | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google (Gmail, Calendar, People) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | OAuth 2.0 |
| Microsoft 365 / Outlook (Graph) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | OAuth 2.0 |
| Zoho (Mail, Calendar, Contacts) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | OAuth 2.0 |
| IMAP / SMTP (any mail server) | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | App password |
| CalDAV (Nextcloud, Radicale, BAIKAL) | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ | Password |
| CardDAV | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | Password |
Microsoft 365: app passwords are being retired — use OAuth (Microsoft Graph) only.
CalDAV/CardDAV compatibility: the providers implement standard WebDAV (CalDAV RFC 4791, CardDAV RFC 6352) with Basic auth and should work with any standards-compliant server. Tested against Radicale 3.7.8. Not tested against other servers; OAuth-only providers (e.g. iCloud without an app-specific password) are not supported.
Deployment notes: Google/Microsoft/Zoho/IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV/CardDAV run under Node.js (CLI or Docker). Cloudflare D1 can be used as a hosted alternative for the local SQLite database.

If you find mcp-ecc useful, consider supporting its development:
Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:
npx -y mcp-eccMerge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

}Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
