Java Mcp Server For Smtp Mailing
About
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (using java sdk 0.11.0) that provides email sending capabilities through SMTP integration. This server acts as a bridge between MCP-compatible AI assistants (like Claude Desktop) and email services.

Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Java Mcp Server For Smtp MailingCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
- Java 21 or higher
- Maven 3.6+
- Gmail account with app-specific password (or other SMTP server credentials)
- MCP Client (Claude Desktop, custom clients, or MCP Inspector for testing)
Edit the SMTP configuration in Application.java:
// SMTP Configuration - Update these values
private static final String SMTP_USERNAME = "[email protected]";
private static final String SMTP_PASSWORD = "your-app-password";
private static final String SMTP_HOST = "smtp.gmail.com";
private static final int SMTP_PORT = 587;
private static final boolean SMTP_TLS_ENABLED = true;
private static final boolean SMTP_SSL_ENABLED = false;
1. Enable 2-factor authentication on your Gmail account
2. Go to Google Account settings > Security > App passwords
3. Generate a new app password for this application
4. Use the generated password in the SMTP_PASSWORD field
Symptoms: Email sending fails with authentication error
Solutions:
- Ensure you're using an app-specific password for Gmail (not your account password)
- Verify 2FA is enabled on your Google account
- Double-check the username and password in Application.java
- Test SMTP credentials with a simple email client
Debug Steps:
java// Example environment variable usage
private static final String SMTP_USERNAME = System.getenv("SMTP_USERNAME");
private static final String SMTP_PASSWORD = System.getenv("SMTP_PASSWORD");
