Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Byteplant MCP Tools (3)

validate_email

Checks whether an email address is deliverable and detects freemail providers

validate_phone

Validates a phone number and returns its line type, carrier codes, location and formats

validate_address

Validates and standardizes a postal address, with optional geocoding

Mail7 Email Validation Tools (4)

validate_email

Check whether a single email address is deliverable: syntax, domain MX records, disposable-domain database and a live SMTP mailbox probe. Status is one of "Valid", "Not Valid", "Unknown". Unknown means the mailbox could NOT be checked (catch-all domain, greylisting, blocked SMTP port) - it is NOT a bad address. Never delete, reject or report Unknown addresses as invalid; present them separately and let the user decide. Use validate_emails instead when you have more than one address.
