## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Selfhost Remote Mail MCP on Railway

Selfhost Remote Mail MCP puts your own email inside Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and other AI apps. Your AI can search, read, sort and draft replies in Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail or any IMAP mailbox. It asks before it sends anything, and your password stays on your server.

## About Hosting Selfhost Remote Mail MCP

This template runs the ready-made image from GitHub, so there is nothing to build. You type one passphrase when you deploy. Railway makes the secret key, the public address and a disk at /data for logins and settings. When it turns green, open https://your-address/settings, type your passphrase and add your mailbox. Then add https://your-address/mcp to your AI app as a connector. Updates come from official releases only.

## Common Use Cases

- Ask your AI "what needs a reply today?" and get drafts ready to check
- Clean up newsletters, sort mail into folders and find old attachments from your phone
- Use several mailboxes from one chat, each with its own signature and send rules

## Dependencies for Selfhost Remote Mail MCP Hosting

- An email account with IMAP and SMTP (most providers need an app password)
- An AI app that supports remote MCP connectors, like Claude or ChatGPT
