Emailgents vs Superhuman's Mail MCP
MCP for the Superhuman email client, Gmail and Outlook, on business plans.
Superhuman is a premium email client. Its Mail MCP lets agents such as Claude work with the Gmail and Outlook accounts you use in Superhuman, including drafting, and it supports several accounts.
It requires a Superhuman subscription on a business tier, covers Gmail and Outlook only, and is a full read-write surface.
Emailgents is independent of your mail client, reaches iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail, Zoho, GMX and any IMAP server as well as Gmail and Outlook, and restricts agents to reading.
