Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Sendgrid every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

sendgrid

sendgrid_add_or_update_contacts

UPSERTS marketing contacts (creates new ones, updates existing ones by email) and optionally adds them to lists. This is an ASYNC job — returns { job_id } you can poll. SendGrid: PUT /v3/marketing/contacts.

sendgrid_get_contact_count

Get the total number of Marketing Campaigns contacts on your account. Returns { contact_count, billable_count }. SendGrid: GET /v3/marketing/contacts/count.

sendgrid_get_stats

Get global email statistics over a date range (delivered, opens, clicks, bounces, spam reports, etc.). Returns an array of { date, stats: [{ metrics: {...} }] }. SendGrid: GET /v3/stats.

sendgrid_get_template

Get a single transactional email template by id, including its versions (subject + content). SendGrid: GET /v3/templates/{template_id}.

sendgrid_list_bounces

List bounced email addresses (the bounce suppression list). Returns an array of { created, email, reason, status }. SendGrid: GET /v3/suppression/bounces.

sendgrid_list_global_unsubscribes

List globally-unsubscribed email addresses (the global suppression list). Returns an array of { created, email }. SendGrid: GET /v3/suppression/unsubscribes.

sendgrid_list_marketing_lists

List your Marketing Campaigns contact lists, each with its id, name, and contact_count. Returns { result: [...], _metadata }. SendGrid: GET /v3/marketing/lists.

sendgrid_list_templates

List your transactional email templates (Dynamic and/or Legacy). Returns { result: [...], _metadata } — use _metadata.next / page_token to paginate. SendGrid: GET /v3/templates.

sendgrid_ping

Health check — verifies the API key works and returns the scopes (permissions) granted to it. SendGrid: GET /v3/scopes.

sendgrid_search_contacts_by_email

Look up marketing contacts by exact email address (a read-only lookup — mutates nothing). Returns { result: { "<email>": { contact: {...} } } }. SendGrid: POST /v3/marketing/contacts/search/emails.

sendgrid_send_mail

SENDS A REAL EMAIL immediately via SendGrid. Provide `from_email` and one or more `to` recipients, plus EITHER a subject + content OR a `template_id` (dynamic template ids start with "d-", pass values via dynamic_template_data). Returns { status: "accepted", message_id }. SendGrid: POST /v3/mail/send.

Sendgrid — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sendgrid do?

It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: sendgrid_add_or_update_contacts, sendgrid_get_contact_count, sendgrid_get_stats, sendgrid_get_template, sendgrid_list_bounces, sendgrid_list_global_unsubscribes and 5 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Sendgrid working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 171 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Sendgrid?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Sendgrid need an API key?

No. Sendgrid completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Sendgrid?

It answers our handshake in 171 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Sendgrid open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 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.
