Notes and caveats

  • Remote server uses OAuth via browser login; headless clients pass a Resend API key as a Bearer token.
  • The local package (npx -y resend-mcp, stdio by default, or --http on port 3000) needs RESEND_API_KEY and a verified domain; optional SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS and REPLY_TO_EMAIL_ADDRESSES.
  • Inboxes tools are beta per the Resend docs and require contacting Resend for access.
  • Also installable as a plugin with Resend skills (claude plugin install resend@claude-plugins-official; /add-plugin resend in Cursor).
  • Docs list capability categories rather than individual tool names.
  • Latest release v2.27.1 on 2026-10-16.
  • No beta label on the core server.
