Common questions

Is SMTPing Email Verification 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?

You need to fill in: SMTPING_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 11 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

SMTPing MCP server

Official Model Context Protocol server for SMTPing. It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any MCP client verify email addresses in a conversation.

"Verify these 40 leads and tell me which ones are safe to email."

Remote server (no install)

Prefer not to run Node? Add https://mcp.smtping.com/mcp as a custom connector in Claude (Settings > Connectors) or ChatGPT, then sign in with your SMTPing API key. Same 5 tools, OAuth 2.1, nothing stored on the server. Source: smtping/smtping-mcp-remote.

Tools

tool	what it does	credits
`verify_email`	Verifies one address: status plus band (safe, avoid, judgement)	1
`verify_list`	Verifies a list as one bulk job (up to 100,000), waits for results	1 per unique address
`get_bulk_job`	Progress and results of a bulk job	0
`check_threat`	Looks up one address in the spamtrap, disposable, spambot or complainer list	1
`get_credits`	Remaining credits and plan	0

Setup

Create an API key in the SMTPing dashboard, then add the server to your client. Node 18 or later is required.

Claude Desktop

Settings > Developer > Edit Config, then add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "smtping": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@smtping/mcp"], "env": { "SMTPING_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

claude mcp add smtping -e SMTPING_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key_here -- npx -y @smtping/mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project): same JSON block as Claude Desktop.

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "smtping": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@smtping/mcp"], "env": { "SMTPING_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Windows troubleshooting

`npx` is not found: use "command": "cmd" and "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@smtping/mcp"].

"Request timed out" or "Server disconnected" on first start: the first npx run downloads the package and can take longer than the client's 60 second startup limit. Install the server once, then point the client to it:

In a terminal: npm install -g @smtping/mcp
Replace the smtping block with:

"smtping": {

"command": "node", "args": ["C:\\Users\\YOUR_NAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@smtping\\mcp\\index.js"], "env": { "SMTPING_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here" } }

Replace YOUR_NAME with your Windows user folder (spaces are fine) and use double backslashes. Run echo %APPDATA% to see the exact path. This form also avoids issues with .cmd launchers when the user folder contains a space.

Quit the client completely (tray icon > Quit) and reopen it.

To update later: npm install -g @smtping/mcp@latest.

Logs: Claude Desktop writes them to %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-smtping.log.
