Cursor MCP configuration connecting directly to hosted streamable HTTP/SSE for zero-risk local email development and automated testing.

Core Infrastructure

Engineered for high deliverability and zero incident risk

Every layer from edge connection pooling to per-key rate limits is designed to keep critical transactional dispatches fast, reliable, and contained.

Native Cursor Composer & Agent Tools

Ask Cursor to "send a test invoice to test@mycompany.com" and watch it execute verified transactional email dispatches.

In-IDE Delivery Log Inspection

Cursor can inspect delivery status, bounce logs, and spam reports directly in your terminal without opening a browser dashboard.

Automated .cursorrules Context

Provide strict operational rules in .cursorrules telling Cursor which sender domains and email templates are authorized.

Sandbox Simulation Mode

Run full transactional email integration tests during coding sessions without burning monthly quota or emailing real users.

React Email Template Preview

Pair with @react-email/components to render and preview JSX emails within your IDE before committing changes.

6,000 Free Monthly Emails

Permanent developer tier supporting full MCP server tool execution, domain authentication, and webhook monitoring.
