About securessmtp
SecureSMTP's remote service lets account owners manage transactional email operations through MCP clients. It combines email sending, domain verification, account details, and recent delivery analytics, with access scoped to one site.
Key features
- 01Send transactional email
- 02List and add sending domains
- 03Verify SPF and DKIM records
- 04View recent delivery analytics
- 05Check account plan and quota
Use cases
- 01Send transactional messages from an MCP client
- 02Set up and verify a sending domain
- 03Review recent delivery and bounce counts
MCP support
Exposes account-scoped email and domain tools through a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server. Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 or a site API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.
Tools
Details
From the project READMESecureSMTP MCP server
Connect SecureSMTP to Claude and other MCP clients. Send transactional mail, manage sending domains, and read delivery analytics for your account — in natural language.
- Endpoint:
https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth 2.1 (one-click, recommended) or a site API key as a Bearer token
- Cost: free — every call runs against your own account and stays within your plan limits
What it can do
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_account | Plan tier, email quota (used / limit / remaining), number of sending domains |
list_sending_domains | List the account's sending domains and their verification status |
add_sending_domain | Add a sending domain; returns the DNS records to publish |
verify_domain | Verify a sending domain's DNS (SPF / DKIM) |
get_deliverability | Delivery status counts for the last 30 days (delivered / opened / bounced / …) |
send_email | Send a transactional email — enforces the same quota, spam scoring, and suppression as the API |
Every tool is scoped to a single site, so a connection can only ever see or act on that account.
Connect from Claude Code
OAuth (opens a browser to approve):
claude mcp add --transport http securessmtp https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp
Or with a site API key (no browser step):
claude mcp add --transport http securessmtp https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <your-site-api-key>"
Connect from claude.ai (custom connector)
Requires a claude.ai Pro/Team/Enterprise plan (custom connectors are not available on the free tier).
- Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
- URL:
https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp - Approve access when the SecureSMTP consent screen appears, and pick which site to grant.
Where to get an API key
Sign in at securessmtp.com, open a site, and copy its API key — the same key the WordPress plugin and REST API use.
How auth works
- OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration. Discovery lives at
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resourceand/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. Access tokens are short-lived; refresh tokens rotate. - API key — send the site key as
Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Connect from any MCP client
The server is remote (Streamable HTTP). Use OAuth (a browser approval) or send your
site API key as a Bearer header. Endpoint: https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add --transport http securessmtp https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp
# with an API key instead of OAuth:
claude mcp add --transport http securessmtp https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <your-site-api-key>"
Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project)
{
"mcpServers": {
"securessmtp": {
"url": "https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
With an API key instead of OAuth, add headers:
{
"mcpServers": {
"securessmtp": {
"url": "https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your-site-api-key>" }
}
}
}
VS Code (GitHub Copilot) — .vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"securessmtp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
Codex CLI, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cline (stdio clients)
Clients that only speak stdio connect through the mcp-remote bridge, which also
handles the OAuth browser flow for you.
Codex CLI — ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.securessmtp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp"]
Claude Desktop / Windsurf / Cline — the JSON mcpServers block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"securessmtp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://securessmtp.com/api/mcp"]
}
}
}
Getting an API key
Sign in at securessmtp.com, open a site, and copy its API key. OAuth needs no key — you approve access in the browser and pick which site to grant.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
