TryKitt.ai mcp Server

A FastMCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides email verification and finding capabilities using the TryKitt.ai API. This server enables AI assistants to find and verify B2B email addresses with high accuracy and low bounce rates.

Features

• Email Verification: Verify email addresses with advanced SMTP and catchall verification

• Email Finding: Find email addresses for individuals using their name and company domain

• Job Management: Track and monitor email verification/finding jobs

• Real-time Processing: Get immediate results for email operations

• High Accuracy: Leverages TryKitt.ai's advanced verification algorithms with <0.1% bounce rate

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/avivshafir/trykittai-mcp-server
cd trykittai-mcp-server

2. Initialize a new Python environment with uv:

# Initialize a new uv project (if starting fresh)
uv init

# Or create a virtual environment
uv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux

3. Install dependencies using uv:

# Using uv (recommended)
uv sync

Setup

1. Get your TryKitt.ai API key:

   • Visit TryKitt.ai

   • Sign up for an account

   • Navigate to your API settings to get your API key

2. Set your API key as an environment variable:

export TRYKITT_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Or create a .env file in the project root:

TRYKITT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

Running the Server

Start the FastMCP server:

python server.py

The server will start and be available for MCP connections.

Adding to MCP Clients

To use this server with MCP-compatible clients, you'll need to configure the client to connect to this server.

Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trykittai": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/your/trykittai-mcp-server/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "TRYKITT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Other MCP Clients

For other MCP-compatible clients, configure them to connect to:

• Command: python

• Arguments: ["/path/to/your/trykittai-mcp-server/server.py"]

• Environment Variables: TRYKITT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Using with uv

If you're using uv, you can also run the server with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trykittai": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "server.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/trykittai-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "TRYKITT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/your/trykittai-mcp-server with the actual absolute path to your project directory, and your_api_key_here with your actual TryKitt.ai API key.

Available Tools

)

3. Job Status (get_job_status)

Check the status of a previously submitted job.

Parameters:

• job_id (required): The ID of the job to check

Example:

result = await get_job_status("job_123456")
