Assessment. A local MCP server for a person's own Outlook or Gmail mailbox with careful defaults, a read-only scope profile, send allowlists, gated deletes and annotated tools, released weekly under Apache-2.0. It is pre-1.0 from one maintainer, Gmail lacks label and move support, and Gmail sign-in relies on UseJunior's hosted broker.

From our research 5 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The stdio MCP server in npm email-agent-mcp 0.5.0, read from a clone of github.com/UseJunior/email-agent-mcp (README, SECURITY.md, the OAuth broker README, tool sources and tags), npm and the MCP registry on 6 November 2026. Nothing was installed or run
- Providers
- Microsoft 365 and Outlook through Microsoft Graph (full tool set), Gmail through the Gmail API (read, search, threads, drafts and send; no label, flag, read-state or move)
- Tools
- 27 in the full profile: list, read, search, threads, attachments, drafts, send, reply, label, flag, mark read, move, folders, inbox rules and gated deletes; observe drops the write tools
- Gmail OAuth broker
- A Vercel app run by UseJunior holds the Gmail client secret, exchanges the code and relays refresh requests without storing refresh tokens; mail content never reaches it, per its README
- Watcher
- An optional watcher polls the mailbox and wakes OpenClaw when new mail arrives
Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- The
observeprofile requests read-only Microsoft scopes and drops every write tool - Send allowlists, delete disabled by default and sanitised errors that strip keys and paths
- Tools carry readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations and are typed
- Apache-2.0, CI with tests and coverage, semgrep and semver tags with GitHub Releases
- Listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.UseJunior/email-agent-mcp, current at 0.5.0
Weaknesses
- Pre-1.0, and every commit is by one maintainer
- On Gmail, labelling, flagging, marking read and moving return NOT_SUPPORTED
- Gmail sign-in and token refresh pass through a UseJunior-hosted broker that holds the client secret
- No audit log of what the agent did beyond the mailbox's own history
- Changing from
fulltoobserveon an existing mailbox doesn't shrink the OAuth token's scopes
Before you call it notes for agents
- Start with
get_mailbox_status, thenlist_emailsorsearch_emailsbefore reading whole threads - Ask the person to set the send allowlist before planning any
send_emailorreply_to_email - Prefer
create_draftand let the person send, unless they asked for sending - Expect NOT_SUPPORTED for label, flag, mark-read and move on Gmail, and don't request
gmail.modifyto work around it - Don't plan deletes; they need an operator environment variable and a caller flag

Terms and privacy, as read
Terms of service none to read
TL;DR We found no terms of service published for this product, so there is nothing to read and the check scores 0.
Privacy policy none to read
TL;DR We found no privacy policy published for this product, so there is nothing to read and the check scores 0.
A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
Published by UseJunior; the README links usejunior.com, and SECURITY.md asks for reports to the maintainer's usejunior.com address with acknowledgement within 3 business days.
No terms or privacy policy apply to the local server; the Gmail OAuth broker is a UseJunior-hosted service whose own terms weren't found.
The repository's CHANGELOG.md points to GitHub Releases as the canonical changelog.
GitHub's API refused our requests for its rate limit on 6 November 2026, so stars, issues and release pages weren't read; history and tags come from a shallow clone.
Checked 2026-11-06 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Notable
- An
observescope profile asks Microsoft for read scopes only and removes every write tool; the README warns that a mailbox already granted write scopes keeps them in its token source - Sends and replies are gated by a send allowlist, and delete tools need an operator environment variable plus a caller flag source
- On Gmail, label, flag, mark-read and move tools return NOT_SUPPORTED, and delete removes drafts only source
- Tools declare readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations in the source source

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run
Assessed on 6 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

Graded with the lines for local packages and stdio MCP servers. Installs from the official npm package email-agent-mcp with npx, CI runs on Node 20 (20). A CI workflow with Vitest tests, Codecov and a spec-coverage gate; the run results weren't readable through GitHub's API that day, so partial (20 of 25). Open crash and regression issues couldn't be read because GitHub's API refused our requests for its rate limit (0, unchecked). Semver tags from v0.1.7 to v0.5.0 and auto-categorised GitHub Releases as the changelog, with no breaking changes marked in what we read (10 of 15). Pre-1.0 (0). Total 50. | |||

Tools are defined with typed input schemas that the MCP SDK publishes as JSON Schema (25). README in five languages, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md; no llms.txt, which a local server doesn't need (5 of 10). The README's tool table marks each tool read, write or destructive and states provider limits, such as Gmail deletes removing drafts only (15 of 20). Typed inputs with options such as list_style (12 of 15). Setup examples per client and documented error behaviour, such as NOT_SUPPORTED on Gmail and sanitised errors (10 of 15). Semver tags and GitHub Releases (12 of 15). Total 79. | |||

27 tools in the full profile, the 11 to 30 band, plus the observe profile as a read-only subset (20 of 25). List and search tools filter and page; we read the tool table, not every parameter (16 of 20). Errors are sanitised and use stable reasons such as NOT_SUPPORTED, failing closed before a Gmail mutation (15 of 20). readOnlyHint and destructiveHint on the tools in source; sends take no idempotency key (16 of 20). One npx command and a setup wizard for OAuth and mailbox choice; TypeScript only (12 of 15). Total 79. | |||
| Security & authchecked 6 November 2026 | 14%17.5 | 11.7 | |
OAuth to the person's own provider with the scopes each profile needs, tokens in the OS keychain, and an observe profile with Microsoft read scopes only. Gmail uses gmail.readonly and gmail.compose, and its code exchange and refreshes relay through a UseJunior-hosted broker that holds the client secret and says it stores no refresh tokens (25 of 30). Send allowlists, delete off by default behind an operator variable and a caller flag, inbox rules that block forwarding and deletion, and protected system folders (20). Receive allowlists limit whose mail the agent acts on; no guidance on treating message bodies as untrusted was found (9 of 15). No log of tool calls beyond the mailbox's own history (3 of 15). SECURITY.md with private reporting and acknowledgement within 3 business days, semgrep in CI; no bug bounty or advisories (10 of 20). Total 67. | |||

Fix list 17 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on email-agent-mcp. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: open issues, CI run results and stars, because GitHub's API refused our requests for its rate limit on 6 November 2026
- The Gmail OAuth broker's operator terms and privacy policy weren't found
- Whether the server sends any telemetry isn't stated; none was found in the manifests read
