          "2026-09-14. A Cloudflare API key with full account permissions, stored in Brevo's source code, let an attacker inject a ClickFix script for 5 hours 29 minutes, showing fake verification pages that pushed visitors to run malware. The post-mortem names brevo.com, sendinblue.com, the login, account, my and onboarding subdomains of brevo.com, sibforms.com and three embedded scripts (the Brevo forms script, the Conversations widget and the SDK loader) as affected. Brevo says app.brevo.com, the API and customer data weren't touched, and it published the fix (scoped, short-lived tokens and alerting).

Brevo's write-up counts 138 accounts accessed, 6 used to send phishing, 43 with contacts exported and 93 with no meaningful activity. Brevo closed the route and ended every user session by 08:30 UTC, two hours after spotting it, disabled the links in the phishing emails, said it was deploying a fix that limits SSO to the organisation that owns the configuration, and is contacting each affected customer. A cross-tenant breach with customer contacts taken, weighed like the 14 September incident and decayed for the same-day fix, the write-up and direct notice to customers, -6 (https://status.brevo.com/incidents/01M266V1CZKJQNGZRNEGFD5CQE/write-up)",

Eight 'multiple services' full outages on the status page since July.\n\n**Twilio SendGrid.** Restricted API keys with per-endpoint scopes, subuser keys and IP access management. No official MCP server that can send, only Twilio's docs search.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Brevo API + MCP\n\n1. Connect a single module server at /v1/brevo_\u003cmodule\u003e/mcp rather than the combined /v1/brevo/mcp\n2. Send with POST /v3/smtp/email and the `api-key` header, not Bearer\n3. Use webhooks for delivery events. GET /v3/smtp/emails allows 2 requests a second\n4. Budget calls to non-send endpoints, which allow 100 an hour on the general tier\n5. Wait for account approval before counting on the free plan's 300 a day\n\n### Twilio SendGrid\n\n1. Give an agent that only sends a restricted key with just `mail.send`\n2. Set `mail_settings.sandbox_mode` to validate payloads without delivery\n3. Authenticate a domain or verify a single sender before the first send\n4. Read X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset and wait for the reset on 429\n5. Don't blindly retry a timed-out mail/send. There's no idempotency key, so the message can go out twice\n\n## Other comparisons with Brevo API + MCP or Twilio SendGrid\n\n- [Amazon SES vs Brevo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-ses-vs-brevo.md)\n- [Amazon SES vs Twilio SendGrid](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-ses-vs-sendgrid.md)\n- [Brevo API + MCP vs Loops API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brevo-vs-loops.md)\n- [Brevo API + MCP vs Mailgun API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brevo-vs-mailgun.md)\n- [Brevo API + MCP vs Mailjet API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brevo-vs-mailjet.md)\n- [Brevo API + MCP vs Postmark API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brevo-vs-postmark.md)\n- [Brevo API + MCP vs Resend API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brevo-vs-resend.md)\n- [Brevo API + MCP vs SMTP2GO API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brevo-vs-smtp2go.md)\n- [Loops API + MCP vs Twilio SendGrid](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/loops-vs-sendgrid.md)\n- [Mailgun API + MCP vs Twilio SendGrid](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mailgun-vs-sendgrid.md)\n- [Mailjet API + MCP vs Twilio SendGrid](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mailjet-vs-sendgrid.md)\n- [Postmark API + MCP vs Twilio SendGrid](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/postmark-vs-sendgrid.md)\n- [Resend API + MCP vs Twilio SendGrid](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/resend-vs-sendgrid.md)\n- [Twilio SendGrid vs SMTP2GO API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sendgrid-vs-smtp2go.md)\n",
