How to Use the Twilio SendGrid MCP in Cursor
Write API calls that dispatch emails and check contacts using your agent in Cursor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Twilio SendGrid MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Twilio SendGrid to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Sending Live Emails with MCP Server
Use the `dispatch_email` tool to generate code for sending messages via SendGrid's SMTP relay. Remember that you must use a verified sender email in your 'from_email' call. This lets the AI inject working, live API calls directly into the code you're writing.
Looking Up Marketing Profiles
When coding, you might need a user's full profile. `search_contact_by_email` returns all details—lists, segments, and custom fields—so your agent has the necessary context. You can also list everything with `list_marketing_contacts` to get an overview of available records.
Cleaning Suppression Lists
If you need to prune a user from mailing, use `delete_bounce` to remove them from the suppression record. This is part of keeping your messaging clean. For list hygiene, checking `list_global_unsubscribes` lets you see everyone who opted out.
