## What it does

The plugin bundles five skills for the Resend email service. It includes Resend API integration, an `agent-email-inbox` mailbox, the `resend-cli` terminal tool, `react-email` components, and `email-best-practices` rules.

It registers a hosted MCP server at `https://mcp.resend.com/mcp` via streamable HTTP. Tool access uses OAuth authentication on the first connection, so there is no need to enter headers manually.

A Resend account with a verified domain and an API key in `RESEND_API_KEY` are mandatory. Without a verified domain, message delivery fails immediately.

## MCP Server

The plugin registers Resend's hosted [MCP server](https://github.com/resend/resend-mcp) at `https://mcp.resend.com/mcp` (streamable HTTP), giving agents tool access to the full Resend API. It authenticates via OAuth — your client walks you through sign-in on first connect, so no API key or header configuration is needed.

## Plugins

This repo follows the [Agent Plugins](https://agent-plugins.org) open standard: `plugin.json` and `mcp.json` at the root, skills in `skills/`. Any conformant client can load it.

It also serves as a plugin for these platforms through their own manifests:

- **Claude Code** — `.claude-plugin/`
- **Cursor** — `.cursor-plugin/`
- **Grok** — `.grok-plugin/`

## Editing skills

Skills marked **"Authored here"** can be edited directly in this repo.

Skills marked **"Synced from"** are automatically synced from their source repos. **Do not edit them here** — changes will be overwritten on the next sync. Edit in the source repo instead.

## Prerequisites

- A Resend account with a verified domain
- API key stored in `RESEND_API_KEY` environment variable

Get your API key at [resend.com/api-keys](https://resend.com/api-keys)
