Validate email + SPF/DKIM/DMARC in one agent tool call

AI agents that send outreach or accept signups usually stitch two things together:

  1. “Is this address disposable / role-based / syntactically valid?”
  2. “Does the domain even publish SPF, DKIM, DMARC?”

I built EmailIQ so both fit in a single MCP tool: analyze_email.

What you get

  • Syntax + domain exists + MX
  • SPF / DKIM / DMARC presence checks
  • Disposable + role-account flags
  • Mail provider guess
  • Composite score 0–100

Price on Apify: $0.01 per successful analysis (pay-per-event). There’s also an x402 HTTP API at emailiq.dev for agent wallets (USDC on Base).

Honest limits

  • DKIM here is selector presence, not signature verification.
  • Consumer Gmail often uses rotated selectors, so user@gmail.com may show dkim_enabled=false and score ~90 — that’s expected.
  • This is per-address, not a bulk list cleaner. If you need 10k rows, use a bulk verifier.

Try it

If you build agent workflows around lead quality, I’d love a critique of the schema.
