Overview

Resend MCP Server is the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Resend email platform. It standardizes how AI agents and coding assistants interact with Resend's API, providing native tool access to send emails, manage infrastructure, and automate workflows using plain English prompts.

Built for modern AI development environments, it runs locally or via stdio/HTTP and works seamlessly with popular MCP-compatible clients.

Key Features

Full Platform Coverage: Access to 10+ tool groups covering the entire Resend API surface.
Email Operations: Send, list, get, cancel, update, and batch emails. Supports HTML/plain text, attachments (local, URL, base64), CC/BCC, reply-to, scheduling, tags, and more.
Management Tools: Handle contacts, audiences, domains, templates, broadcasts, and analytics.
Easy Integration: One-command install via npx -y resend-mcp with your RESEND_API_KEY.
Secure & Local-First: Runs securely on your machine by default; supports stdio and streamable HTTP transports.
Multi-Client Support: Compatible with Cursor, Claude Code/Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, and other MCP clients.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., in Cursor or Claude):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resend": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "resend-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RESEND_API_KEY": "re_xxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once configured, simply ask your AI agent: "Send a welcome email to new users" or "Manage my contact list for the newsletter campaign."

Use Cases

AI-Powered Email Automation: Let agents compose and send professional emails without manual copy-paste.
Workflow Orchestration: Build multi-step automations combining email with code generation, data processing, and other tools.
Contact & Campaign Management: Update audiences, create templates, and track deliveries conversationally.
Developer Productivity: Integrate email notifications into coding sessions for alerts, reports, or user outreach.
Inbound & Analytics: Handle replies, webhooks, and performance metrics through natural language queries.

Why Use Resend MCP Server?

MCP standardizes tool access for LLMs, turning Resend from a simple API into a conversational capability. Agents gain deep context and action-taking power over your email infrastructure without custom code or complex SDK integrations.

The server is open-source, actively maintained, and expands alongside new Resend features.
