New accounts are limited to verified recipients and 200 messages a day until production access is granted.\n\n**Groundmail API + MCP.** Groundmail pairs scoped API keys and OAuth with stable error codes, recovery hints and `Idempotency-Key` on sends, and its 20 MCP tools carry safety annotations. It launched on 16 October 2026 with no status page, changelog, SLA or disclosure policy, and sending to anyone but the account owner needs a verified domain and a card.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon SES\n\n1. Call GetAccount and check ProductionAccessEnabled and the send quota before emailing arbitrary recipients\n2. Verify the From domain as an identity first. Sends from unverified identities fail even in production\n3. Use the mailbox simulator (success@simulator.amazonses.com) to test bounces and complaints without hurting reputation\n4. Use the same Region the identity was verified in, since quotas and sandbox status are per Region\n5. On a throttling error, wait and retry the send. SES drops messages over quota rather than queueing them\n\n### Groundmail API + MCP\n\n1. Send an `Idempotency-Key` on raw POST /emails and reuse it on retries. On 504, check GET /emails before sending again\n2. Test from `noreply@mail.groundmail.dev` to the account email only. Any other recipient returns 403 `forbidden`\n3. Ask the person before adding a domain or a card. Both are needed before mail reaches other recipients\n4. On 429 `plan_limit` with `details.reason: \"warmup\"`, wait until `details.resets_at`. Upgrading doesn't lift it\n5. Request only the scopes needed, such as `emails:send`. An OAuth request with no scope gets `full`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon SES or Groundmail API + MCP?\n\nAmazon SES scores 73.6 (BB) on agent readiness against Groundmail API + MCP's 57.6 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Groundmail API + MCP leads on agent ergonomics and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Amazon SES and Groundmail API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon SES and Groundmail API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Amazon SES has a hosted endpoint at https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v2 and Groundmail API + MCP at https://api.groundmail.dev.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-ses-vs-groundmail.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-ses-vs-groundmail.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"amazon-ses\", \"b\": \"groundmail\"}`.
