AgentMail MCP Server

Unique: Implements metadata-first retrieval pattern via MCP tools, allowing agents to filter and paginate without loading full email bodies, reducing context overhead by 70-90% compared to naive full-email retrieval

vs others: More efficient than raw email API calls because filtering and pagination are exposed as first-class MCP tools with structured parameters, enabling agents to compose complex queries without string manipulation
