A side-by-side look at the Mail7 Email Validation and Reoon MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Mail7 Email Validation for communication work as a local process; choose Reoon for communication as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
MAIL7_API_KEY, MAIL7_BASE_URL.validate_email, validate_emails, check_domain.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

validate_emailCheck whether a single email address is deliverable: syntax, domain MX records, disposable-domain database and a live SMTP mailbox probe. Status is one of "Valid", "Not Valid", "Unknown". Unknown means the mailbox could NOT be checked (catch-all domain, greylisting, blocked SMTP port) - it is NOT a bad address. Never delete, reject or report Unknown addresses as invalid; present them separately and let the user decide. Use validate_emails instead when you have more than one address.validate_emailsCheck up to 50 email addresses in one call and get a per-address verdict plus a summary. Status is one of "Valid", "Not Valid", "Unknown". Unknown means the mailbox could NOT be checked (catch-all domain, greylisting, blocked SMTP port) - it is NOT a bad address. Never delete, reject or report Unknown addresses as invalid; present them separately and let the user decide. Requires MAIL7_API_KEY (anonymous callers get a 25-address free sample only). Each address takes a few seconds of real SMTP work, so this call is slow by nature: for a longer list, split it and call this tool repeatedly with the next 50 addresses. Never run two calls in parallel - the API serialises one bulk job per client and the second call fails.check_domainAudit a domain's email setup in one call: MX records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, DNSSEC and BIMI, graded A-F with a fix for every problem found. Use this to answer "can this domain send and receive mail" or "why do our messages land in spam". Takes a domain (example.com), not an email address. The default answer summarises every section; pass `section` to get the full records and findings of one of them.check_spfFetch and analyse the SPF record of a domain: the raw record, its mechanisms, lookup count and common misconfigurations. Use check_domain instead when the question is about overall deliverability rather than SPF specifically.No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
