GoodSender

• Grab the goodsender.mcpb file from the latest release.

• Double-click the goodsender.mcpb file to open it in your AI client.
  

  Note: Not every AI client supports MCP bundles or local MCP servers yet. Use a different installation method if nothing happens on double-click.

Run via

docker run -d -e GOODSENDER_API_KEY=<Your API Key> -v goodsender-mcp-data:/data ghcr.io/good-sender/mcp:latest

If your goal is to run the agent using this MCP fully autonomously, set GOODSENDER_DISABLE_ACTION_GUARDS=true to skip all action confirmations completely. See Action confirmation.

or add to docker-compose.yaml on your home server

services:
  goodsender-mcp:
    image: ghcr.io/good-sender/mcp:latest
    ports:
      - "9889:9889"
    environment:
      GOODSENDER_API_KEY: <Your API Key>
      # GOODSENDER_DISABLE_ACTION_GUARDS: "true"  # skip all action confirmations
    volumes:
      - goodsender-mcp-data:/data
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  goodsender-mcp-data:

and run via

docker compose up -d

• Grab the binaries.zip file from the latest release (includes MCP goodsender-mcp-* and CLI goodsender-* binaries).

• Unzip it somewhere you can easily reference.

• Modify your AI client config file, adding the MCP server configuration (example for Claude Desktop and Cursor on macOS):

  config.json

  Copy

  {
    ...
    "mcpServers": {
      "GoodSender": {
        "command": "<path to the unzipped binaries>/goodsender-mcp-darwin-arm64",
        "env": {
          "GOODSENDER_API_KEY": "<Your API key>"
        }
      }
    }
    ...
  }
  

  For other platforms you must reference a corresponding binary instead of darwin (macOS)

  If your goal is to run the agent using this MCP fully autonomously, set GOODSENDER_DISABLE_ACTION_GUARDS=true to skip all action confirmations completely. See Action confirmation.
