The MCP server registers 117 GET-only tools and can't send.\n\n**Mailtrap Email API + MCP.** Public OpenAPI 3.1 specs, API tokens with per-resource permissions and expiry dates, and a free plan of 4,000 emails a month without a card support agent use. The MCP server loads 125 tools with no toolsets, no idempotency key was found for sends, and the status page records a sending outage of 1 hour 32 minutes on 1 August 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Mailjet API + MCP\n\n1. Set `SandboxMode` to true on the first sends to check payloads without delivering\n2. Send with POST /v3.1/send and a `Messages` array, many messages per call\n3. Use the MCP for statistics and contact lookups only, since it can't send\n4. Pass `MAILJET_API_KEY` as `key:secret`. The server checks it at startup and exits if it's wrong\n5. On 429, wait and retry. Non-transactional endpoints have much lower limits than send\n\n### Mailtrap Email API + MCP\n\n1. Ask the operator to create the first API token at mailtrap.io/settings/api-tokens. The first token can't be created through the API.\n2. Send transactional mail to send.api.mailtrap.io and bulk mail to bulk.api.mailtrap.io. Sandbox sending uses a different base URL and an inbox ID.\n3. Verify a sending domain before the first production send, and use Email Sandbox to test payloads without delivery.\n4. Stay under 150 requests per 10 seconds per token, and 10 per 60 seconds per account on the Stats and Suppressions APIs. On 429, back off until `x-ratelimit-reset`.\n5. Don't retry a timed-out send blindly, because no idempotency key was found. Check the email logs first.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Mailjet API + MCP or Mailtrap Email API + MCP?\n\nMailtrap Email API + MCP scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against Mailjet API + MCP's 59.4 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Mailjet API + MCP and Mailtrap Email API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Mailjet API + MCP and Mailtrap Email API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes.
