Email Overview

The email MCP server connects AI agents to Amazon SES in your AWS account for sending messages and checking account state. It runs locally over stdio through the official MCP TypeScript SDK and reads AWS credentials from the environment. Use it to send transactional email, investigate SES delivery events, validate domain and DKIM status, or inspect suppression lists. Send-history tools require a Wraps deployment, while setup, domain, suppression, cost, and sending tools work with SES accounts directly.

Primary Use Cases for Email:
  • Send transactional messages through a verified SES identity
  • Inspect delivery, bounce, complaint, open, and click events
  • Check SES domain and DKIM verification before sending
  • Find suppressed recipient addresses before delivery attempts
