emailmd provides core functionality for rendering markdown to email-safe HTML, with lint and documentation tools. It suits developers generating email templates quickly, but note it is not officially maintained by a protocol owner, and outputs should be human-reviewed.
emailmd is an MCP server that converts Markdown into responsive, email-safe HTML that works across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, and more. It exposes three tools: render (markdown to email-safe HTML), lint (flag deliverability problems), and read_docs (look up emailmd syntax). Supports both Streamable HTTP and stdio transports.

Setup
Run npx emailmd mcp locally (stdio) or use the hosted HTTP endpoint https://www.emailmd.dev/api/mcp (streamable-http). For Claude Desktop, configure with the appropriate transport.

Required permissions

Risks and side effects
