@poststack.dev/mcp

Model Context Protocol server for the PostStack Email API — an EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant email API for AI agents. Lets assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf send transactional email, draft replies from inbound threads, run deliverability checks, summarise broadcasts, and more — through one curated tool surface.

84 tools, 5 prompts, and 5 resources, all surfaced over either the local stdio bin or the hosted HTTP transport at https://api.poststack.dev/mcp.

Full MCP reference: poststack.dev/docs/mcp.

Quickstart

Hosted (Claude.ai connector, hosted agents)

Point any MCP client at:

https://api.poststack.dev/mcp

Authenticate with your PostStack API key as a Bearer token. No local install required.

Environment variables

What the agent gets

The MCP server doesn't just mirror the REST API — it gives agents the context tools they need to make sensible decisions: spam-checking before sending, deliverability summaries before picking a from-address, engagement scores before re-engaging a contact.

Worked example: welcome email

The draft_welcome_email prompt walks an agent through:

1. get_contact_by_email — confirm the contact and capture properties

2. list_templates — pick a published welcome template

3. render_template — render with the contact's properties; surface any missing variables

4. suggest_from_address — pick a verified from-address based on existing mailboxes

5. preview_email — render + spam check + deliverability warnings in one round-trip

6. send_email — only if preview passed

Other prompts cover re-engagement, follow-up campaigns to non-clickers, broadcast summaries, and inbound triage.
