Introduction

Email is the largest untapped data source in the enterprise—and the most sensitive. mxHERO Mail2Cloud bridges this gap by automatically capturing email content and attachments into AI ready vector storage in real time, securing it, with compliance tagging, and metadata enrichment. This positions organizations to responsibly leverage AI for search, summarization, and operational insights—while reducing risk.
 

Why mxMCP

mxMCP connects selected email data with your AI Tools

mxMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. MCP is a framework designed to standardize the way models interact with various data sources and services. MCP is used to facilitate seamless integration to emails captured by mxHERO Mail2Cloud. Mail2Cloud is designed to selectively capture emails from one or more accounts.

Using mxMCP - best practices

For best performance queries should specifically scope the set of emails that need to be searched. When possible, imply a date range. Even a broad date range like, “last summer” is better than no date range at all.

For example:

🤔 Okay: 
Get the email from Ralph about Project X

👏 Better: 
Get the emails from Ralph to Alex sent last June about Project X

The second query reduces the set of emails to those sent to Alex and, importantly, includes a date range.

Without a date range, mxHERO's AI search will work its way back in time in larger and larger intervals. This takes more time to execute and may result in less accurate results.

🏛️ Architecture

mxHERO's Multi-Account email search MCP is architected for high-performance and data security. Security is ensured at ingestion. By leveraging mxHERO Mail2Cloud, email is collected based on specific criteria and stored to isolated data tenants. The User’s AI client only has authenticated permission to a specific data tenant. As an example, this model ensures that emails selected for the human resource team can remain only accessible to the HR team. User can not attempt to prompt “jailbreak” to content they are not authorized. Importantly, other MCP tools (potentially malicious), also do not have access to content to which the user does not have authority.
