ContactLint MCP Server (contactlint-mcp)
ContactLint checks email addresses and phone numbers before your AI agent saves or uses them. You can run it as a local stdio MCP server (contactlint-mcp, reading CONTACTLINT_API_KEY from the environment) or connect directly to the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint (https://contactlint.com/mcp).
Local stdio binary:
contactlint-mcp(./bin/contactlint-mcp.mjs)Hosted endpoint:
https://contactlint.com/mcp(Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC over POST)Website: https://contactlint.com/
MCP guide: https://contactlint.com/email-validation-mcp-server
OpenAPI (REST API): https://contactlint.com/openapi.json
MCP Registry:

Tools
Tool | Input | What it does |

| Checks syntax, MX and A records over DNS-over-HTTPS, known disposable domains, role addresses ( |

| Same checks as |

| Parses and validates a phone number: valid and possible flags, line type, region, E.164, national and international formats. |
ContactLint does not connect to mail servers (no SMTP probing), so it cannot confirm that a mailbox exists or detect catch-all domains.
initialize and tools/list work without a key, so clients and directory scanners can read the tool list. tools/call requires a ContactLint API key (100 free checks per month, no card required).

Option 1: Local stdio MCP server (recommended for registries & desktop clients)
The local stdio server (bin/contactlint-mcp.mjs) reads your API key from the CONTACTLINT_API_KEY secret environment variable and forwards authenticated tool calls to https://contactlint.com/mcp.
Environment variables

"mcpServers": {
"contactlint": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "github:zksyncer/contactlint"],
"env": {
"CONTACTLINT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Or when installed locally (npm install -g github:zksyncer/contactlint or pnpm add contactlint-mcp):
{
"mcpServers": {
"contactlint": {
"command": "contactlint-mcp",
"env": {
"CONTACTLINT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Option 2: Hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server
If your MCP client supports custom HTTP headers on remote streamable-http servers, you can connect directly without installing anything:
{
"mcpServers": {
"contactlint": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://contactlint.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Billing
One check per address or number checked. A
validate_emailscall with 20 addresses uses 20 checks.Addresses whose DNS lookup fails come back
unknown(dns_error) and are not billed.If a key does not have enough checks for a whole
validate_emailslist, nothing is checked or billed.100 checks per month are free, no card needed.
Credit packs: 5,000 checks for $9, 25,000 for $35, 100,000 for $99.
