OUR ASSESSMENT
- Official Resend maintenance.
- 506 GitHub stars and MIT licence.
- 22 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Two transports: stdio (default) and HTTP with Bearer token auth.
- Resend API coverage spans emails, contacts, audiences, broadcasts, domains, segments, topics, API keys, webhooks.
- HTTP mode passes RESEND_API_KEY via Bearer token, keeping the secret out of the URL.
- Default sender and reply-to addresses configurable at startup via --sender and --reply-to flags.
- Inbound email support: list and read received emails plus attachments.
- RESEND_API_KEY grants full Resend account access; scope tokens via Resend dashboard if available.
- Sending domains must be verified in Resend before the MCP can send from them.
- HTTP mode requires the operator to deploy the MCP on a network the agent can reach.
RESEND_API_KEY can send email from any verified sender domain on the Resend account. Scope the API key to a dedicated agent-only Resend project or workspace. For HTTP mode, the Bearer token mechanism keeps the key out of URLs and command lines; the deployment surface (the HTTP server) requires network-scoping to the agent host.
Teams using Resend for transactional or marketing email who want agents to send, list, or manage email campaigns; workflows where the agent triggers transactional emails as part of a longer task; operators who want a programmatic surface for Resend audiences and broadcasts.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
