Resend MCP: Send transactional emails directly from your AI agent

Building email workflows into AI agents just became frictionless. Resend MCP is the official Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools direct access to Resend's email API—no manual API calls, no context switching.

Instead of writing code to send emails, you can ask your AI agent: "Send a welcome email to users who signed up today" or "Check yesterday's delivery rate." The agent handles template rendering, domain management, audience segmentation, and analytics tracking through natural language.

This is the same email infrastructure trusted by Vercel, Clerk, and thousands of developer teams. Now it's accessible to your AI workflows.

What It Does

Resend MCP unlocks five core capabilities for AI agents:

  • Send emails — plain text or HTML, with variables and template support
  • Manage domains — configure sending domains, verify DNS records, and monitor reputation
  • Track delivery — monitor open rates, click-through rates, bounces, and complaints in real time
  • Segment audiences — create, update, and manage email lists programmatically
  • Schedule campaigns — queue emails and access detailed analytics

The server translates these operations into tools your AI agent can invoke conversationally. No SDK wrestling. No boilerplate. Just ask the agent to handle your email logic.

How to Install

Install the Resend MCP server:

npx -y @resend/mcp
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then configure it in your AI tool's settings. For Claude Desktop, add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resend-mcp": {
      "command": "npx -y @resend/mcp",
      "env": {
        "RESEND_API_KEY": "your_resend_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Get your API key from resend.com/api-keys.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Onboarding automation — "Send a personalized welcome email to all users who signed up in the last 24 hours, then add them to the onboarding-cohort audience segment."
  • Delivery monitoring — "Pull the analytics for our weekly digest sent yesterday—what's the open rate, and which domains had bounce issues?"
  • Template management — "Create a password reset email template that uses our brand colors, then test it with a sample recipient."
