No official MCP server that can send, only Twilio's docs search.\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### 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.
