title: "Mailtrap MCP"
description: "Connect Mailtrap's Email API to CodinIT using the official Mailtrap MCP server for sending transactional emails, sandbox testing, and email infrastructure management."
---

# Mailtrap MCP

The [Mailtrap MCP server](https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-mcp) connects CodinIT to Mailtrap's Email API, letting you send transactional emails, test in sandbox, manage templates, and check delivery logs directly from your AI workflow.

## Prerequisites

- A [Mailtrap account](https://mailtrap.io/signup)
- A Mailtrap API token from [API settings](https://mailtrap.io/api-tokens)
- Your Account ID from [account management](https://mailtrap.io/account-management)
- A verified [sending domain](https://mailtrap.io/sending/domains) for production sending

## Configuration

Add the following to your MCP configuration:

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mailtrap": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-mailtrap"],
"env": {
"MAILTRAP_API_TOKEN": "your_mailtrap_api_token",
"DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL": "your_sender@example.com",
"MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID": "your_account_id",
"MAILTRAP_TEST_INBOX_ID": "your_test_inbox_id"
}
}
}
}
```

## What you can do

Once configured, you can use natural language to:

**Send emails:**
- Send transactional emails via Mailtrap's Email API
- Use existing email templates
- Send to multiple recipients

**Test in sandbox:**
- Send test emails without delivering to real inboxes
- Preview email content and formatting safely in dev and staging

**Manage email infrastructure:**
- List and verify sending domains
- Check delivery logs and sending stats
- Manage contacts and contact lists
- Create and manage email templates

## Environment variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MAILTRAP_API_TOKEN` | Yes | Your Mailtrap API token |
| `DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL` | Yes | Default sender email address |
| `MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID` | Yes | Your Mailtrap account ID |
