I have been trying to make the mail mcp work, but it fails at searching, and listing all messages every time.
Simple things like listing all latest 5 messages of a certain account, don't work.
For example, a general search tries to be performed with "*", when wildcards are not accepted by AppleScript. I would like to contribute to make this work, but don't have any experience with building an MCP, and I don't know if this is something that can be fixed from the code, of from the model side.

Does somebody have any idea how to start solving this?

This is mostly solvable by adding more specific tools for different mail tasks. We use applescripts to do this scripting, in mail.ts file.
The more tools the better claude can execute them (and the code gets more reliable too)

it looks like there's some issue on code line 1245 on the branch

 if (cc && typeof cc !== "string") return false;
 if (bcc and typeof bcc !== "string") return false;
