mcp_mail: Settings file for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

mcp_mail is a settings file for Claude Code from jleechanorg/mcp_mail. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project configuration for an agent-mail server, a local service that lets coding agents communicate through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It registers the agent when a session starts and can require an authentication token.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for connecting to the local agent-mail service, registering the current coding agent, and configuring its session-start behaviour.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a configured communication channel and automates registration, while keeping access to the server's local metadata restricted.

Settings file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event.

This is jleechanorg/mcp_mail's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp_mail itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp_mail configures →

One of 2 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 1 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp_mail scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
