What is the MailSlurp MCP Server?
Connect your MailSlurp account to any AI agent to automate your email testing and asynchronous message management. This MCP server enables your agent to create virtual inboxes, send and receive emails, and handle complex automation scenarios using long-polling 'wait-for' methods directly from natural language interfaces.
What you can do
- Virtual Inbox Management — Create random or custom email addresses and list all managed inboxes in your account
- Email Automation — Long-poll for the latest incoming email or wait until a specific email count is reached for testing suites
- Message Retrieval — List and inspect messages received by any virtual address, including full HTML and text bodies
- Outbound Capability — Send emails directly from any of your MailSlurp addresses programmatically
- Infrastructure Maintenance — Permanently delete individual messages or entire virtual inboxes via simple commands
- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed technical headers and attachment metadata for any received email
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your MailSlurp API Key (x-api-key)
3. Start managing your virtual email infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- QA Engineers — Automate the verification of user registration flows and transactional alerts via natural language
- Developers — Quickly inspect incoming test emails and manage temporary addresses directly from your IDE
- Product Teams — Monitor and audit automated communication paths and email delivery results effortlessly

Where do I find my API Key?
Log in to your MailSlurp dashboard and copy the API key from the Home or API Settings section.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
