Sending is still in beta, with no SLA, no idempotency key and no published daily quota, and it needs a domain on Cloudflare DNS and the Workers Paid plan.\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### Cloudflare Email Service\n\n1. POST to `https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/email/sending/send` with `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e`. The body needs `to`, `from`, `subject` and one of `html` or `text`\n2. Don't retry a timed-out send blindly. There is no idempotency key, so look for the message in the `emailSendingAdaptive` GraphQL dataset first\n3. On 429 (code 10004) wait for the `retry-after` header. On 409 `sending_not_ready` the domain setup is unfinished and nothing was sent\n4. Read `result.delivered`, `result.queued` and `result.permanent_bounces` in the response. A 200 does not mean every recipient was accepted\n5. Keep to 50 recipients across to, cc and bcc, and 5 MiB per message including attachments\n6. For SMTP use `smtp.mx.cloudflare.net` on port 465 with implicit TLS, username `api_token` and the API token as password. Port 587 is not supported\n7. By default one suppressed recipient fails the whole send. Turn on Drop suppressed recipients for the domain to send to the rest\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, Cloudflare Email Service or Groundmail API + MCP?\n\nCloudflare Email Service scores 67.3 (B) 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 Cloudflare Email Service and Groundmail API + MCP need an API key?\n\nCloudflare Email Service needs an API key. Groundmail API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Cloudflare Email Service and Groundmail API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cloudflare Email Service has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4 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/cloudflare-email-service-vs-groundmail.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-email-service-vs-groundmail.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-email-service\", \"b\": \"groundmail\"}`.
