# 2026-02-24 Session Notes

## Proton MCP Server Setup Initiated

Nicholai requested setup of the proton-mcp project from GitHub (ccunning2/proton-mcp). Session began with research into the project's purpose and requirements. The proton-mcp server is a Model Context Protocol integration for ProtonMail that enables email management, spam detection, and mailing list unsubscribe automation through Claude Desktop.

## Project Overview

Proton MCP provides tools for:
- Email search, retrieval, sending, and folder management
- Junk email detection with pattern-based scoring (unlikely/low/medium/high)
- RFC 2369/8058-compliant unsubscribe header parsing and bulk operations
- Full attachment metadata access

## Setup Requirements Identified

- Requires ProtonMail account and Proton Bridge application running locally
- Python-based implementation with virtual environment setup
- Environment variables needed: PROTON_EMAIL and PROTON_BRIDGE_PASSWORD
- IMAP/SMTP defaults: 127.0.0.1:1143 and 127.0.0.1:1025
- Destructive actions require explicit confirmation for safety

## Next Steps

Repository clone was initiated to ~/proton-mcp. Setup workflow would follow: venv creation, dependency installation via pip, .env configuration, and Claude Desktop integration.
