Email Spam Tester is a free, independent email deliverability testing tool built by Serhii Tanichev. This repository is the client side of its MCP server: how to connect an agent to it, what the four tools do, and how to read what they return. There is nothing to install on a server; the MCP endpoint is hosted with the tool.
The service exposes an MCP server at https://email-spam-tester.com/mcp over streamable HTTP. No key, no account. Four tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_test_address(lang="en") | Reserves a disposable address and returns it with the slug and the report URL. lang decides the language of the fix plan a person sees on the report page. |
wait_for_report(slug, timeout_seconds=150) | Blocks until the analysis is done and returns a summary: scores, the failing and warning checks with their evidence, the fix plan. Nothing to poll and no sleep loop to get wrong. |
get_report(slug) | Reads an existing report without waiting. |
get_message_source(slug) | The message as delivered: headers in wire order, both bodies, the raw source. |
The agent's job in between is to send a real message to the address, from the platform that will send the campaign. Half the checks read headers the sending platform adds, so a copy sent from a laptop says little about it.
Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (see claude-desktop.json for the whole file):
Clients that do not speak streamable HTTP directly can bridge it with mcp-remote:
lang was set to; lang decides what the person opening the report URL sees.skip is not a pass: the check did not apply. error means it could not run and is left out of the score.complete: false means something could not be checked. Treat the score as optimistic until it is true.The same instructions, written for an agent to read before it starts, are in SKILL.md, and in the project repository serg-tanichev/email-spam-tester.
