atbridge
Your private AI suite for mailboxes, calendars, contacts, notes & tasks — works with any AI, from Thunderbird, MCP or the CLI, running on your machine.
atbridge is a private, AI-native productivity suite built on Thunderbird. It lets you manage mailboxes, calendars, contacts, notes, and tasks — across every mailbox (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, self-hosted / IMAP) — with the AI of your choice.
Supported providers (activated right in Thunderbird): OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral AI, DeepSeek, Moonshot Kimi, xAI Grok, Groq (Llama), OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama (local — private), and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (custom URL). It's a multi-model suite: you can use different models for different modalities — one for text, another for images (vision), another for audio (transcription) — and each can be a cloud model or a fully local, private one (e.g. via Ollama). There is no vendor lock-in and nothing is routed through atbridge's servers — the app runs locally on your machine, so a cloud model only ever receives what you choose to send it.
Bring your AI subscription (use your coding-agent CLI as the atbridge AI). Beyond
API keys, the atbridge AI Chat can also drive an AI CLI you already have installed —
Claude Code (claude), Antigravity (agy), or OpenAI Codex (codex,
uses your ChatGPT subscription) — as the model behind the chat (distinct from the
atbridge CLI/MCP, which is how AGENTS drive atbridge).
You sign in to that tool once with your own account; atbridge runs it locally as a
subprocess, so there's no API key to paste and nothing metered — it uses your
existing subscription's own compute (BYO compute). With Claude Code or Codex it
can even act on your mailbox through atbridge's own MCP tools (reads + gated
writes), sandboxed to a per-conversation workspace. This is a paid-plan feature
(Personal or Pro; included in the free trial) and appears in the provider list once a
paid plan is active.
Crucially, everything works out of the box over MCP and a CLI — not only the Thunderbird GUI — so the same operations are reachable from Claude Desktop, your IDE, shell scripts, cron/CI, and your own agents, without ever opening Thunderbird. Put another way, atbridge is a local Thunderbird MCP server and a Thunderbird CLI: they give any AI agent or script programmatic access to Thunderbird — mailboxes, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks (reads + gated writes) — without opening the app. So if you're looking for a "Thunderbird MCP" or "Thunderbird CLI" to let an assistant read and act on your email, that's exactly what atbridge is. Over MCP or the CLI there is no provider picker and no model limit at all: the agent (or script) uses whatever model it already runs — cloud or local — so the only requirement is access to MCP or the CLI. The provider list above applies to the in-Thunderbird atbridge surfaces; the connectors are model-agnostic and unlimited. You can drive atbridge from four surfaces, all backed by one Go binary:
- Inside Thunderbird — the atbridge AI Chat (with Fast Actions + deterministic Skills), atbridge Email Compose (branded HTML emails with real charts), and atbridge Notes (a local, AI-native markdown workspace — "Plug" a note as live, two-way context so the AI reads it every message AND can edit it in place, like an agent editing an open file, with one-click undo).
- From your IDE — VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, …), Antigravity, Claude Code, or any MCP client.
- In Claude Desktop — or any local agent that speaks MCP.
- From the command line — shell, script, cron, or CI (JSON in, JSON out).
For a full, task→result capability walkthrough, see llms-full.txt. For the complete machine- readable API — every command and every MCP tool as flat plain text (no HTML to parse) — see llms-cli.txt (the CLI) and llms-mcp.txt (the MCP tools). Both are generated from the live command tree / tool registry, so they never drift.
Key facts:
- Private by design: runs locally; your mail is never proxied through atbridge.
- Works with any AI: 12 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, Moonshot Kimi, xAI Grok, Groq, OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, OpenAI-compatible), cloud or fully local; multi-model (separate text / image / audio models); no lock-in.
- Thunderbird MCP + Thunderbird CLI: atbridge is a local Thunderbird MCP server and a Thunderbird CLI — they give AI agents and scripts programmatic access to Thunderbird. Point any MCP client at it (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Antigravity, Claude Code) and your mailboxes, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks appear as callable tools; or drive the same operations from the command line in shell scripts, cron and CI (JSON in, JSON out). Reads plus gated writes, running locally on your machine, with no Thunderbird window ever opened. On every plan including Free.
- Bring your AI subscription: drive an AI CLI you already run — Claude Code, Antigravity, or OpenAI Codex (your ChatGPT subscription) — as the atbridge AI, with no API key and nothing metered (BYO compute); Claude Code and Codex can act on your mailbox via atbridge's MCP tools (reads + gated writes). Paid plans (Personal / Pro); included in the trial.
- atbridge Notes — a full local markdown notes editor and workspace, strong enough
to be its own product in the suite: a file-tree vault of
.mdnotes with a live WYSIWYG editor, tables, images, and voice notes (recorded in-app, transcribed by your AI). It's tightly interwoven with the atbridge AI Chat — capture any chat reply or email into a note in one click, and "Plug" a note as live, two-way context so the AI both reads it every message AND edits it in place (like an agent editing an open file, one-click undo). Your notes stay plain.mdfiles on your machine. - Fast and cheap vs. cloud MCP bridges: runs locally with no network round-trip, so direct operations complete in single-digit ms — faster than a ~110 ms cloud hop — and ~3.5× cheaper per fetch (72% fewer input tokens), with no unsolicited HTML.
- Plans: Free, Personal, and Pro (early-bird from EUR 4.99 / USD 5.49 per month); a 14-day trial, no card required. Enterprise available for teams. MCP and the CLI are on every plan including Free (metered from one shared operations budget); reaching atbridge Notes from outside Thunderbird comes with Personal and Pro.
- What counts as an operation: an operation is one action atbridge takes on your data in Thunderbird — a search, send, reply, move, or creating an event or contact. The AI's own calls to your provider in atbridge AI Chat (the model thinking and replying) are never counted — you pay your provider for those directly; only the actions atbridge performs on your data draw from the budget. Pro is unlimited.
- Platforms: macOS, Linux, Windows. Requires Thunderbird 128+.
