Our reading of Helipod, from the data

Helipod is a email MCP server from helipodapp, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Its endpoint requires sign-in or an API key just to list tools, so we haven't measured its token cost; we never use real credentials.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 2 days ago (2026-10-17). For comparison, 75% of email servers are active or maintained.

With 0 GitHub stars it ranks #267 of 932 email servers we index.

It runs either locally over stdio or as a hosted endpoint.
