SecureSMTP 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.
