Resend MCP servers: which one to use
Use Resend's own server: it covers sending, contacts and domains, and you can sign in with your Resend account. Pick a community one for a read-only switch.

Resend publishes its own MCP server, and it is the best fit for nearly everyone. It runs hosted with account sign-in or on your machine with an API key. Among the servers here, only the community Resend Email MCP documents a read-only setting. If you want to look at your account without being able to change it, use that one.
Good for
- Developers who want Claude or Cursor to send and check transactional email
- Teams setting up a sending domain and its DNS records with an assistant
- Anyone who wants to inspect a Resend account without changing it
- People debugging bounces and delivery problems
Which Resend MCP server to use
Use the official Resend server unless you want a read-only switch. For that, pick Resend Email MCP, which also adds tools for debugging delivery.

Questions
Is there an official Resend MCP server?
Yes. Resend publishes one, hosted at https://mcp.resend.com/mcp and also as a package you run yourself. The other servers here are from community developers.
Which Resend MCP server should I use?
Use Resend's own server. Use Resend Email MCP instead if you want a read-only switch or tools that explain bounces and check DNS.
Is there a read-only Resend MCP server?
Yes, a community one: Resend Email MCP blocks every send, create, update and delete tool when you set RESEND_READONLY=true. Resend's official server docs list send, create and remove tools for its emails, contacts and domains.
Do I need an API key?
Not for the hosted official server, where you sign in with your Resend account. The local official server and every community server here take a Resend API key.
Is the Resend MCP server free?
The software is free: the official server is MIT-licensed and the community servers here are MIT or Apache-2.0. You still need a Resend account and API key or sign-in.
Does the Resend MCP server work in ChatGPT?
Yes. Resend has an official plugin for ChatGPT and Codex: search for Resend under Plugins, connect and sign in with your Resend account.
Can an assistant send email without asking me?
It can send once your client lets it call the tool: Resend's server exposes send and batch-send tools. Keep tool approval on in your assistant if you want to review each email.
How is Resend Email MCP different from the official server?
It adds seven tools that diagnose and explain delivery problems, API request logs and the read-only setting, and lists 75 tools in all. It is a community server with 1 GitHub star against the official server's 578.
