Mailprotector MCP Server

mailprotector-mcp

MCP server for Mailprotector — email security management for MSPs (CloudFilter, Bracket, SafeSend, XtraMail): customers, domains, users, quarantine, allow/block rules, logs, configuration, and the full long-tail API via a router.

Built on the MCP 2026-07-28 spec via the split v2 SDK (@modelcontextprotocol/server / /node / /client ^2.0.0-beta.5) with dual-era serving: one shared McpServerFactory behind createMcpHandler({ legacy: 'stateless' }) answers both 2025-era initialize-handshake clients (the WYRE gateway today) and modern 2026-07-28 envelope clients — with an identical, deterministic 22-tool surface for every caller. Ships as a GHCR container only (no MCPB bundle).

Tools (22 first-class + routed long tail)

Router: mailprotector_status, mailprotector_list_categories, mailprotector_list_category_tools, mailprotector_execute_tool.

Promoted reads: mailprotector_customers_list/get, mailprotector_domains_list/get, mailprotector_users_list/get/find_by_address, mailprotector_user_groups_list, mailprotector_messages_list, mailprotector_allow_block_rules_list, mailprotector_logs_list, mailprotector_configuration_get.

Promoted writes: mailprotector_customers_create, mailprotector_domains_create, mailprotector_messages_release / release_many (⚠ HIGH-IMPACT), mailprotector_allow_block_rules_create (⚠ HIGH-IMPACT), and the ⚠ DESTRUCTIVE — IRREVERSIBLE mailprotector_allow_block_rules_delete.

Router categories (52 routed operations via mailprotector_execute_tool): resellers (CRUD), customers (update/delete), domains (update/delete/move/aliases), user_groups (CRUD + services), users (create/create_many/update/delete/reset_password/aliases), managers (CRUD + notification destinations), configuration (update), statements, email_routing (destinations/sources for domain|user_group), user_syncs (CRUD + schedule + filters), notifications (user notification destinations), results (find_by_code). Every routed delete is ⚠ DESTRUCTIVE and confirmation-gated; discover schemas with mailprotector_list_category_tools.

Scoped tools

Mailprotector's hierarchy is Provider → Reseller → Customer → Domain → User Group → User, and many operations exist at several scopes. Scoped tools take scope (reseller | customer | domain | user_group | user, per-tool subsets) plus scope_id; scope_id defaults to the bound reseller when scope is "reseller".

Delete confirmations (MRTR elicitation)

Every delete flows through the SDK v2 MRTR seam: the handler returns input_required, interactive clients see a confirmation prompt, and declining cancels the delete. Callers that declared no elicitation capability — including stateless 2025-era callers such as the WYRE Conduit gateway — fall back to proceeding per the integration contract: elicitation here is purely additive, and the gateway enforces destructive-tool access with its own server-side per-tool classification gate.

Credentials

Copy .env.example. The gateway Compose service does not load MAILPROTECTOR_API_KEY or MAILPROTECTOR_RESELLER_ID.

/health and /healthz stay unauthenticated and do not read credentials. The stdio transport does not use CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET.

In gateway mode a request missing either credential header (or with a non-numeric reseller id) is answered 401 (JSON-RPC error -32001) before the MCP handler runs — it never falls through to env credentials.

HTTP authentication

With MCP_TRANSPORT=http and CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET set, every /mcp request must include X-Gateway-S2S. The check is verifyS2sHeader in src/s2s-verify.ts: the header value is t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>, where the hex is HMAC-SHA256 of the literal string t=<unix seconds> keyed with CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET (64 lowercase hex characters). The timestamp must be within 300 seconds of the server clock. A missing or invalid header is HTTP 401, before vendor credentials are read.

TS=$(date +%s)
SIG=$(printf 't=%s' "$TS" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" -hex | awk '{print $NF}')
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H "X-Gateway-S2S: t=${TS},v1=${SIG}" \
  -H "X-Mailprotector-Api-Key: $MAILPROTECTOR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Mailprotector-Reseller-Id: $MAILPROTECTOR_RESELLER_ID" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

In AUTH_MODE=gateway, /mcp also requires X-Mailprotector-Api-Key and X-Mailprotector-Reseller-Id. Those headers are the only credential source for that request. AUTH_MODE=env still requires the signed X-Gateway-S2S header, then uses MAILPROTECTOR_API_KEY and MAILPROTECTOR_RESELLER_ID from the environment.

Running

export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)   # GitHub Packages auth for @wyre-ai/* + @wyre-technology/*
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js                        # stdio (default; no S2S secret)
# HTTP refuses to start until CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is a real secret
CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" MCP_TRANSPORT=http node dist/index.js
# Local HTTP only, without a service-to-service secret (always binds 127.0.0.1)
MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 MCP_TRANSPORT=http node dist/index.js
node scripts/smoke-dual-era.mjs           # proves both protocol eras serve the same tools

Docker (linux/amd64 per fleet law). The image listens on 0.0.0.0 inside the container (MCP_HTTP_HOST) and defaults to AUTH_MODE=gateway. Publish the port on loopback and pass a real S2S secret. In gateway mode, Mailprotector credentials arrive on each request as headers; they are not read from the environment.

docker build --platform linux/amd64 --build-arg NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) -t mailprotector-mcp .
docker run \
  -e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \
  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
  mailprotector-mcp

Compose refuses to start when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is unset. The gateway service sets AUTH_MODE=gateway, does not inject MAILPROTECTOR_API_KEY or MAILPROTECTOR_RESELLER_ID, and publishes 127.0.0.1:8080:8080:

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" docker compose up

Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env) still requires the S2S secret, then uses MAILPROTECTOR_API_KEY and MAILPROTECTOR_RESELLER_ID. It is separate from the gateway Compose service above.

docker run \
  -e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \
  -e AUTH_MODE=env \
  -e MAILPROTECTOR_API_KEY=... \
  -e MAILPROTECTOR_RESELLER_ID=... \
  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
  mailprotector-mcp

Wire notes (expected dual-era behavior)

• Legacy-era POST responses are SSE-framed (text/event-stream) — parse the last data: line.
• Legacy GET/DELETE session operations answer 405: stateless serving has no sessions.
