Common questions
Is Rowsend safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 18 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

Rowsend MCP server
Rowsend is a desktop app for marketing email. It reads contacts from your own database (Postgres on Supabase or Neon, MySQL, PlanetScale, MongoDB or Firebase Auth) and sends through your own provider (SES, Postmark, Mailgun or SMTP). Contacts and keys stay on your computer.
This package connects an MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor or Claude Code to the Rowsend app. Agents can connect your database, write campaigns in your brand, preview them and send you a test. You click Send in the app.
Requirements
- macOS, with Rowsend installed in Applications. Download it from rowsend.com.
- Node.js 18 or later.
Install
Claude Desktop, Cursor or any client with an mcpServers setting:
{
"mcpServers": { "rowsend": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@rowsend/mcp"] } } }
Claude Code:
claude mcp add rowsend -- npx -y @rowsend/mcp
Plugins for Claude Code and Codex
The plugin adds the MCP server and a rowsend-setup skill. The skill walks your agent through connecting your database and sender and drafting a first campaign.
Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add rowsend/mcp
claude plugin install rowsend@rowsend
Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add rowsend/mcp
codex plugin add rowsend@rowsend
The first time the client connects, Rowsend asks you to allow it. Click Allow. Rowsend keeps that client's token encrypted on your computer, so it asks only once. To cut a client off, revoke it in Rowsend → Settings → MCP.
If Rowsend is somewhere other than Applications, set ROWSEND_APP to its path, such as /Users/you/Apps/Rowsend.app.

What agents can't do
- Send or schedule a campaign. Only you can, in the app.
- Delete anything.
- See or type a password or API key. Rowsend opens its own screens for you to paste them.
- Turn off the unsubscribe footer, edit a segment or undo an unsubscribe.
The full guide is at rowsend.com/docs/agents/mcp.
How it works
Rowsend runs its MCP server inside the app, on 127.0.0.1 only. This package finds the app and starts it with --mcp-stdio, which passes messages between your client's stdin and stdout and that local server. If Rowsend isn't running, it opens in the background.
