Pass your Vinkius server URL directly into the agent's mcps array parameter. The agent automatically discovers tools like sendtestemail and listsandboxmessages without manual Python coding.

Q: Does this MCP Server support multiple Mailtrap projects?

Yes. Your agents use listmailtrapprojects and listsandboxes to locate the correct environment. They can navigate across different accounts and projects dynamically.

Specialized email QA crews

The Mailtrap MCP Server allows CrewAI agent teams to collaborate on email quality assurance using `send_test_email` and `get_message_details`. One specialized CrewAI agent sends the test payload while a second agent monitors the virtual Mailtrap inbox. This role-based division of labor ensures thorough testing of your email templates. The CrewAI monitoring agent inspects the headers and metadata of incoming Mailtrap emails, flagging authentication issues before they go live.

Autonomous domain monitoring

Your CrewAI crew uses `get_domain_status` and `list_verified_domains` to continuously audit your Mailtrap sending infrastructure. A monitoring CrewAI agent queries these tools on a schedule to verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC status. If a domain's verification status drops, the CrewAI agent escalates the issue. It can notify your engineering team or draft an alert, preventing silent Mailtrap delivery failures.

Automated sandbox cleanup routines

This server provides `clear_sandbox_inbox` and `delete_sandbox_message` to help your CrewAI crew manage test data. A specialized cleanup CrewAI agent runs after every test cycle to wipe the Mailtrap sandbox, ensuring subsequent runs start with a clean slate. This automated maintenance stops your Mailtrap inbox from hitting storage limits. The cleanup agent coordinates with the CrewAI QA crew to ensure no active tests are interrupted during the purge.

Setup guide

Set up Mailtrap MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Mailtrap tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Mailtrap Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Mailtrap data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Mailtrap access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Mailtrap transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Mailtrap Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Mailtrap data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Mailtrap access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Mailtrap transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
