SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires node, git, npm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

AI teams often need to orchestrate email sending via an MCP-compatible server, but turning natural language prompts into real-world email actions across multiple clients is non-trivial. This skill provides a self-contained integration and guidance to automate Resend MCP-based email workflows using Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified MCP workflow: Connects AI agents to Resend MCP for sending transactional and marketing emails.
  • Cross-platform support: Works with GitHub Copilot Coding Agent, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
  • Secure configuration: Encourages using environment secrets and .env.local to avoid hard-coded API keys.
  • Real-world patterns: Includes configuration guidance, examples, and troubleshooting for end-to-end email automation.

Quick Start

  • Clone the Resend MCP server repository and build it:
  • git clone https://github.com/resend/mcp-send-email.git
  • cd mcp-send-email
  • npm install
  • npm run build
  • Create or update the .env.local with RESEND_API_KEY and optional SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS / REPLY_TO_EMAIL_ADDRESS:
  • RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxxxxxxx
  • [email protected]
  • [email protected]
  • Configure the MCP across clients:
  • For GitHub Copilot Coding Agent: set up in GitHub repository settings with COPILOT_MCP_RESEND_API_KEY secret.
  • For VS Code: create .vscode/mcp.json with RESEND_API_KEY.
  • For Claude Desktop: add claude config with RESEND_API_KEY.
  • For Cursor: add MCP config with RESEND_API_KEY.
  • Test by asking an AI agent to "send a test email using Resend MCP" or "send this email via Resend MCP".

FAQPage Schema
How do I send emails via Resend MCP using an AI agent?

To send emails via Resend MCP, clone the mcp-send-email repository, build it with npm, set your RESEND_API_KEY in .env.local, and configure the MCP server in your AI client like Claude Desktop or Cursor.

Can I use Resend MCP to send transactional emails with GitHub Copilot?

Yes, Resend MCP supports GitHub Copilot Coding Agent for sending transactional emails. You need to configure the COPILOT_MCP_RESEND_API_KEY secret in your GitHub repository settings to enable the integration.

What is the best way to configure Resend email automation across multiple AI clients?

The best way to configure Resend email automation is by using environment secrets and .env.local files for your API key, then adding specific MCP server configurations to each client like VS Code's mcp.json or Claude Desktop's config.

Do I need a Resend API key to send emails through Claude Desktop?

Yes, a Resend API key is required to send emails through Claude Desktop. You must add the RESEND_API_KEY to your Claude config along with optional sender and reply-to email addresses for the MCP server to authenticate.

How do I set up the Resend MCP server for VS Code?

To set up the Resend MCP server for VS Code, create a .vscode/mcp.json file containing your RESEND_API_KEY, then ask the AI agent to send a test email using Resend MCP to verify the connection.

Why is my Resend MCP email automation not working in Cursor?

Resend MCP email automation may fail in Cursor if the MCP config lacks a valid RESEND_API_KEY or the mcp-send-email repository was not built with npm. Ensure environment secrets are correctly loaded before testing.
