Resend MCP Server

Connect your AI agent to the Resend platform. Send and receive emails, manage contacts, broadcasts, domains, and more, directly from any MCP client like Claude, Cursor, or Claude Code.

We offer both a remote MCP server hosted by Resend and a local MCP server (this package).

Remote MCP Server

Resend hosts the MCP server at:

https://mcp.resend.com/mcp

Connect any MCP client that supports remote servers (Streamable HTTP). There's nothing to install and no local process to run, which makes it the best option for web-based clients like Claude and hosted agent platforms.

When you connect, your client opens a browser window to log in to Resend and approve access using OAuth.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http resend https://mcp.resend.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and select resend to complete the OAuth login.

Claude

In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector and enter:

https://mcp.resend.com/mcp

Cursor

Open the command palette and choose "Cursor Settings" > "MCP" > "Add new global MCP server".

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resend": {
      "url": "https://mcp.resend.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

codex mcp add resend --url https://mcp.resend.com/mcp

Copilot

To use GitHub Copilot in VS Code, add the following to your settings.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "resend": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.resend.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resend": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.resend.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Warp

In Warp's Settings, navigate to Agents > MCP servers, and click +Add to add a new server.

{
  "resend": {
    "serverUrl": "https://mcp.resend.com/mcp"
  }
}

Authenticating with an API key

If your client runs somewhere a browser login isn't possible (a server, CI, or a headless agent), pass a Resend API key as a Bearer token instead of using OAuth.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http resend https://mcp.resend.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer re_xxxxxxxxx"

JSON config (Cursor, Windsurf, and others), add an Authorization header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resend": {
      "url": "https://mcp.resend.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer re_xxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Local MCP Server

The hosted server runs the same open-source code that's available on NPM as resend-mcp. If you prefer to run the server yourself, you can integrate it into any supported MCP client using npx. You'll need to:

• Create an API key
• Verify your domain

The local server supports two transport modes: stdio (default) and HTTP.

Choose your preferred mode and client below to get started. Remember to replace re_xxxxxxxxx with your actual API key.

Stdio Transport (Default)

Quick Setup

Install for all detected/selected agents and editors:

npx add-mcp resend-mcp --name resend --env "RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxxxxxxx"

Claude Code

claude mcp add resend -e RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxxxxxxx -- npx -y resend-mcp

Codex

codex mcp add resend \
  --env RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxxxxxxx \
  -- npx -y resend-mcp

Cursor

Open the command palette and choose "Cursor Settings" > "MCP" > "Add new global MCP server".

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resend": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "resend-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RESEND_API_KEY": "re_xxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
