Install Resend in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @supernova123/resend-mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

Resend MCP Server
An MCP server for Resend — connect any MCP-compatible client to the Resend transactional email API.
What is this?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants and agents full access to Resend's email API — send single or batch emails, manage sending domains, API keys, audiences, and contacts — through natural language.
Use it with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, or any MCP-compatible client to send emails, manage infrastructure, and build automation around email.
Why use this?
- 18 built-in tools — covers sending (single + batch), domains, API keys, audiences, and contacts
- Send emails by talking — "send a welcome email to jane@example.com" just works
- Manage your infrastructure — create/verify/delete domains, mint/revoke API keys, manage contacts
- Batch sending — send up to 100 emails in a single API call
- Full contact CRUD — create, read, update, and delete contacts across audiences
- Rate-limited automatically — respects Resend's 10 req/s free tier, retries on 429
- Works with every MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and more
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client config (e.g. claudedesktopconfig.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"resend": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "resend-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"RESEND_API_KEY": "re_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
}
}
}Get a free API key at resend.com/api-keys.
Use it
Ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Send an email to jane@example.com thanking her for signing up"
- "List the last 5 emails I sent"
- "What happened to email ID abc-123?"
- "Create a new sending domain for mail.acme.com"
- "Verify domain domain-xyz"
- "Mint a new API key called 'production-server'"
- "Add jane@example.com to audience audience-1"
