Security scores are indicators to help you make informed decisions, not guarantees. Always review permissions before connecting any MCP server.

Permissions Found in Source Code

Found by scanning the linked source code. This listing connects to a hosted endpoint, so none of this runs on your machine: it describes what the server software does where it is hosted.

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

How to Connect

Remote Plugin

No local installation needed. Your AI client connects to the remote endpoint directly.

Add this to your MCP configuration to connect:

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "url": "https://app.mailtester.com/mcp"
    }

MailTester MCP server — email verification for AI agents

Remote Model Context Protocol server that tells an AI agent whether an email address can receive mail before anything is sent to it.

The server is hosted; there is nothing to install. This repository documents how to connect.

Get a key (no account needed)

Connect without a key and call the get_api_key tool, or:

curl -X POST https://app.mailtester.com/agent-gateway/register \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"name":"my-agent","purpose":"verify signup emails"}'

The key is shown once. Each key gets 25 free verifications per day (unused credits do not roll over) and expires after 30 days; register again when it does. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <api_key>.

Tools

ToolWhat it does

Verdicts

  • valid: the mailbox exists and accepts mail
  • invalid: the address or domain cannot receive mail
  • risky: accept-all (catch-all) domain, role or disposable address, or a Microsoft 365 address the mail server couldn't confirm
  • unknown: the receiving server gave no definitive answer

Limits

10 requests per minute per key, one request in flight per key, and a shared daily capacity for free agent keys (HTTP 429 until 00:00 UTC when it is used up). Inbox placement, blacklist monitoring and email finder need a full account at https://mailtester.com.

REST API

The same key works on the REST API: POST https://app.mailtester.com/api/v1/verify, POST https://app.mailtester.com/api/v1/verify/batch, GET https://app.mailtester.com/api/v1/credits. See the OpenAPI description.
