This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SENDGRID_API_KEY (SendGrid API key (SG....)), SENDGRID_FROM_EMAIL (Default From address. Must be a verified sender.), SENDGRID_FROM_NAME (Default From display name), SENDGRID_REGION (global (default) or eu), READ_ONLY (When true, send and mutating tools return an error before any SendGrid request). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

SendGrid Transactional — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for SendGrid Transactional?
SendGrid Transactional runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @neschadin/sendgrid-mcp was installed 525 times last week.
How do I connect SendGrid Transactional?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @neschadin/sendgrid-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use SendGrid Transactional?
The npm package @neschadin/sendgrid-mcp was installed 525 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is SendGrid Transactional open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
