I Built an Email Verification MCP That Actually Makes Money

Email verification APIs are boring. That's exactly why they make money.

I just launched Email Verify MCP — and here's why I built it:

The Boring Money-Maker

While everyone builds "AI agents that do everything," the solo founders making real money are selling email verification, IP geolocation, and VAT validation. Boring B2B micro-APIs reliably pull $400-600/mo.

So I built one.

What It Does

From any AI agent (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf):

  • check_email — Full verification: syntax, MX records, SMTP handshake, disposable detection
  • verify_bulk — Batch up to 10 emails at once

All DNS-based. No external API costs. Pure Node.js.

Pricing

Tier Price Checks
Free $0 50/day
Pro $19/mo 1,000/mo
Unlimited $99/mo Unlimited

The Stack

  • MCP Server (TypeScript, stdio transport)
  • npm: @rumblingb/email-verify-mcp
  • Smithery: smithery.ai/servers/vishar-rumbling/email-verify-mcp
  • Stripe: buy.stripe.com/aFadRb2z56ZKaU00wz1oI1l

Why This Works

  1. Real demand — every app with signup needs email verification
  2. Zero marginal cost — DNS lookups are free
  3. Clear upgrade path — 50 free → 1,000 pro → unlimited
  4. Agent-native — MCP protocol means Cursor/Claude can use it directly
