A side-by-side look at the Email Spam Tester and Scamchecker.nl MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Email Spam Tester for communication work over a hosted endpoint; choose Scamchecker.nl for communication. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

get_test_addressReserve a single-use address to send a draft email to, for a full check.
Returns the address and the URL its report will appear at. The address
accepts exactly one message and expires after an hour. The email has to be
sent by the person, from the platform or mailbox they really send from:
half the checks read what that platform adds. The report covers 42 checks
(SPF, DKIM, DMARC, reverse DNS, TLS, blocklists, content, links, the
Gmail and Yahoo bulk-sender rules) and a plan of what to fix.
lang is decided now because the message arrives minutes later over SMTP,
which carries no hint of who is waiting for it. What wait_for_report
returns quotes check lines in English whatever it is set to; the person
following report_url sees their own language.
wait_for_reportWait until the message arrives and has been analysed, then summarise it.
Call it after the email has been sent to the address from
get_test_address. Blocks rather than returning "not ready yet": an agent
told to poll writes a sleep loop and usually gives up before the analysis
finishes. Provider placement keeps filling in for up to 30 minutes after
the report; get_report reads the latest.
get_reportRead a report by its slug without waiting, with provider placement so far.
Works for one-hour tests and for letters in the person's series mailboxes.
get_message_sourceThe message exactly as it was received: headers, both bodies, source.
Useful when a finding points at a header and the agent needs to see what it
actually sent rather than what it believes it sent, or to find the
confirmation link in a welcome letter.
check_messageCheck a suspicious email, SMS, WhatsApp message, link or screenshot for scam signals. Controleer een verdachte mail, sms, WhatsApp-bericht, link of screenshot op signalen van oplichting.
