save_attachment

MCP tool from Simple Email MCP by mexican75

Save an attachment directly to disk (preferred for large files)

How to use it

Project documentation lists save_attachment for the Simple Email MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
