What is the Resend Alternative MCP Server?
Connect your Resend account to any AI agent and take full control of your email infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Email Sending — Send transactional emails with HTML/text bodies, attachments, CC/BCC and reply-to addresses
- Batch Sending — Send up to 100 emails in a single API call for bulk notifications
- Email Tracking — Retrieve sent email details including delivery status, bounces and complaints
- Domain Management — Add, verify, update and delete sending domains with DNS record guidance
- API Key Management — Create, list and delete API keys with scoped permissions (full_access, sending, domains)
- Scheduled Emails — Update or cancel previously scheduled email deliveries
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Resend API Key
- Start sending emails from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more switching to the Resend dashboard to check delivery status or add a new domain. Your AI acts as a dedicated email operations engineer.
Who is this for?
- Developers — quickly send transactional emails, check delivery status and manage domains without leaving your IDE
- DevOps Engineers — audit sent email logs, verify domain DNS records and manage API key permissions
- Product Teams — send batch notifications, review delivery metrics and manage email templates via conversation

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Resend API Key?
Log in to the Resend Dashboard, go to Settings > API Keys, click Create API Key, select the permission scope (Full Access, Sending, or Domains), give it a name and copy the key immediately — it starts with re_ and won't be shown again.
Can I send HTML emails with attachments?
Yes! Use the send_email tool with the html parameter for HTML body content and optionally include attachments. You can also provide a text fallback for email clients that don't render HTML. Attachments are passed as objects with filename, content (base64) and content_type.
How do I verify a domain for sending?
Use create_domain with your domain name (e.g. "example.com"). Resend will return the SPF and DKIM DNS records you need to add to your DNS provider. After adding the records, use verify_domain with the domain ID to trigger re-verification. The domain status will change to "verified" once DNS propagation is complete.
What are the API rate limits?
Resend allows 5 requests per second per team, shared across all API keys. If you exceed this limit, you'll receive a 429 response. Rate limits can be increased by contacting Resend support for verified senders.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
