Proton MCP Server Setup

Initiated setup of the proton-mcp project, an MCP server that integrates ProtonMail with Claude Desktop. Researched the project's dependencies, features, and configuration requirements.

Project Overview

Proton MCP is a Model Context Protocol server enabling AI assistants to manage ProtonMail accounts. Core features include email search/send/retrieval, junk detection with pattern-based spam identification, and RFC 2369/8058-compliant unsubscribe tooling. All destructive actions require explicit confirmation.

Setup Requirements

Project requires Python 3 with virtual environment, ProtonMail account, and Proton Bridge running locally on default ports (127.0.0.1:1143 for IMAP, 127.0.0.1:1025 for SMTP). Installation involves cloning the repo, creating venv, installing dependencies from requirements.txt, and configuring .env file with PROTON_EMAIL and PROTON_BRIDGE_PASSWORD.

Status

Began cloning repository. Setup will proceed with environment creation and dependency installation.
