Our reading of Pidgeon, from the data

Pidgeon is a email MCP server from pidgeon-ai, listed in the official MCP Registry.

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

It runs either locally over stdio or as a hosted endpoint and needs one secret (PIDGEON_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
