Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

This is a well-structured IMAP/SMTP MCP server with reasonable security posture. Authentication is handled via environment variables with lazy credential loading, and email sending is disabled by default. The code demonstrates good defensive practices including input validation via Zod, proper error handling, and no hardcoded secrets. Minor code quality issues around broad error catching and informational logging do not significantly impact security. Supply chain analysis found 8 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 4 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
