resend-integration-skills — Claude Code skill: how to install
Configures Resend email sending via MCP so AI coding agents can dispatch transactional emails and manage contact audiences.
npx skills add gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills --skill resend-integration-skills -a claude-codeWhat resend-integration-skills does
This skill walks through wiring AI coding assistants to Resend by compiling and registering the official resend/mcp-send-email repository. Once configured, agents handle delivery for plain text and formatted HTML emails. They can also set BCC headers, schedule delivery times, and trigger campaigns across saved audiences.
The underlying MCP server requires Node.js 20 or higher and builds using npm run build. Without an active RESEND_API_KEY token, the email service rejects all incoming tool requests. The skill covers parameter setups for repository secrets in GitHub Copilot, Cursor settings, or local .vscode/mcp.json files.
What it helps with
- connect Resend email dispatching to agent workflows
- build and run the local mcp-send-email server
- verify message delivery using the email.md file pattern
- configure MCP credentials for GitHub Copilot and Cursor
Example prompts for the agent
- Send a test message using the parameters defined in
email.md. - Help me configure the Resend MCP server within Cursor settings.
- Schedule an outbound transactional HTML email through Resend.
