How to Use the Mailtrap MCP in Mastra AI
Run automated email testing workflows and multi-step retries with Mastra AI and Mailtrap.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Mailtrap MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mailtrap to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Conditional email testing workflows
The Mailtrap MCP Server integrates with Mastra workflows to run automated email verification runs via `send_test_email` and `list_sandbox_messages`. Your Mastra agent triggers a test email, waits for it to hit the Mailtrap sandbox, and checks the status automatically. If the test email fails to arrive, Mastra's workflow engine executes retries with exponential backoff. You write the logic once, and the Mastra agent handles the entire Mailtrap verification loop without manual testing.
Automated inbox cleanup in Mastra AI
This integration uses `clear_sandbox_inbox` to reset your Mailtrap testing environment before running a new Mastra workflow. Your Mastra agent clears old messages, runs the test suite, and then uses `list_sandbox_messages` to verify only the new emails exist. This prevents old test runs from polluting your Mastra assertions. If an assertion fails, the Mastra agent uses `get_message_details` to inspect the exact Mailtrap payload that caused the failure.
Production sending with human approval
The Mailtrap server exposes `send_production_email` for live customer communications managed by Mastra agents. By configuring Mastra's `requireToolApproval` setting, you force a human-in-the-loop check before any production email leaves the system. The Mastra agent drafts the message based on system events, but waits for your green light. Once approved, the agent fires the Mailtrap email and checks delivery status using `list_verified_domains`.
