Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Emailens MCP Tools (9)

preview_email

Full email compatibility preview, transforms HTML for 21 email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, Samsung, Thunderbird, HEY, Proton Mail, AOL, Fastmail, Superhuman), analyzes CSS, generates scores, simulates dark mode, checks inbox preview and email size.

analyze_email

Quick CSS compatibility analysis, returns per-client scores and one finding per problem, listing the clients it affects. For HTML input each finding carries loc (line, column, offset) and alsoAtLines, so you can edit the exact source. Narrow with clients, or pass detail:'full' for the per-client breakdown with fix snippets. Use audit_email for a full quality report (spam, links, a11y, images, etc.).

audit_email

Comprehensive email quality audit: CSS compatibility, spam scoring, link validation, accessibility, images, inbox preview, size (Gmail clipping), template variables, content overflow, visual fallbacks, dark-mode and mobile text contrast, design consistency, and structural faults in Outlook-only VML (which lives inside conditional comments and is invisible to every other check). For HTML input, findings tied to a specific element carry loc (line, column, offset) so you can edit the exact source. Compatibility is collapsed to one finding per problem listing the clients it affects; pass detail:'full' for the per-client breakdown with fix snippets. Use skip to omit checks and clients to narrow which clients are reported.
