What is the Resend MCP Server?

Connect your Resend account to any AI agent and take full control of your transactional email orchestration through natural conversation. Resend provides a world-class email infrastructure for developers, and this integration allows you to send emails, monitor domain verification, and manage contact audiences directly from your chat interface.

What you can do

  • Email Orchestration — Send high-fidelity emails using custom HTML or text programmatically, with support for batch sending and history retrieval.
  • Domain Lifecycle Management — List all managed domains and trigger verification processes directly from the AI interface to ensure deliverability.
  • Audience & CRM Control — Create and manage contact audiences and individual subscribers via natural language to maintain your marketing lists.
  • API & Security Oversight — Access and monitor your API keys to ensure your integration remains secure and synchronized.
  • Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage email delivery logs using simple AI commands.

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Resend API Key (re_xxxxxxxxx) from your settings
3. Start managing your email infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more manual dashboard navigation for checking logs or verifying domains. Your AI acts as a dedicated email operations manager or delivery coordinator.

Who is this for?

  • Developers & DevOps — quickly send test emails and verify domain DNS records without switching tools.
  • Marketing Operations — automate the management of contact audiences and monitor engagement via natural conversation.
  • Startup Founders — streamline the retrieval of transactional email history directly within the chat.

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Resend data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 11 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific email just by providing its ID?

Yes! Use the get_email tool with the Email ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including delivery status, timestamps, and recipient info in seconds.

02

How do I find my Resend API Key?

Log in to your Resend dashboard, navigate to the API Keys section, and generate a new key (it will start with re_). Copy and save it securely.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
