MCP overview
MCP endpoint, authentication and available tools.
Sending exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint at https://sending.dev/api/mcp
(streamable HTTP). Agents authenticate with the same bearer API key, or with OAuth 2.1 on
behalf of a user, and operate inside server-side guardrails: daily volume and spend caps,
an audit log, and per-key scopes.
The server is remote: there is nothing to install. For the commands and configuration files of each client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Windsurf) see Install Sending in your agent.

The sending tools (send_email, send_message, send_from_inbox, reply_thread, create_campaign)
accept attachments: each item declares one source, { id }, { filename, content }
(base64) or { filename, url }. For anything but tiny files, call upload_attachment once and
reuse the id: inline base64 inflates the agent's context on every call.
{ "name": "send_email", "arguments": {
"to": "[email protected]", "from": "[email protected]",
"subject": "Your invoice", "html": "<p>Attached.</p>",
"attachments": [{ "id": "<ATTACHMENT_ID>" }]
} }Limits and rules (max 20 attachments, 10 MB each, 25 MB total, executable extensions rejected) are the same as the REST API: see Attachments.
