dropmail-mcp 0.1.0

MCP server for the DropMail temporary email service

dropmail-mcp

MCP server for DropMail — gives AI assistants tools to create temporary email addresses and receive mail automatically.

Installation

No install needed if you use uvx:

uvx dropmail-mcp --token YOUR_TOKEN

Or install globally:

pip install dropmail-mcp
dropmail-mcp --token YOUR_TOKEN

Configuration

Variable	Flag	Default	Description
DROPMAIL_TOKEN	--token	—	Required. Obtain at dropmail.me/api
DROPMAIL_BASE_URL	--base-url	https://dropmail.me/api/graphql	GraphQL endpoint
DROPMAIL_LOG_LEVEL	--log-level	NONE	Log level: DEBUG INFO WARNING ERROR NONE
DROPMAIL_LOG_FILE	--log-file	stderr	Path to log file (default: stderr)

To use the public service, no DROPMAIL_BASE_URL override is needed — it defaults to https://dropmail.me/api/graphql.

DEBUG log level records the full GraphQL request (minified query + variables) and response body after each call — useful for troubleshooting.

Claude Desktop setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dropmail": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dropmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DROPMAIL_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code / GitHub Copilot IDE setup

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (VS Code 1.99+, agent mode):

{
  "servers": {
    "dropmail": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dropmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DROPMAIL_TOKEN": "${input:dropmail-token}"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "dropmail-token",
      "type": "promptString",
      "description": "DropMail API token (obtain at dropmail.me/api/)",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

VS Code will prompt for the token securely — it is never stored in plain text.

GitHub Copilot CLI setup

Edit ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json (create if it doesn't exist):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dropmail": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dropmail-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DROPMAIL_TOKEN": "${DROPMAIL_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set DROPMAIL_TOKEN in your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.), or run /mcp add inside the Copilot CLI session to configure it interactively.
