Questions

What is the MsgLens MCP server?

Read Outlook .msg, .eml and winmail.dat files locally: headers, body and attachments. It is made by @AndyLiu0427 and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.AndyLiu0427/msglens. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add MsgLens to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add msglens -- npx -y msglens-cli@0.2.1

How do I add MsgLens to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and MsgLens runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add MsgLens to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "msglens": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "msglens-cli@0.2.1" ] } } }

Does MsgLens work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
