Sendbyte-Africa/sendbyte-mcp

Enables AI agents to send emails and manage sending domains, templates, analytics, and content checks through the SendByte platform using the Model Context Protocol.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 2 critical, 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
⚠️
Tests do not pass
Either the test suite is broken or the code regressed. Either way the published behaviour can’t be verified by the publisher’s own tests.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: SENDBYTE_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// tools this server exposes11 tools

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

send_email

Send a transactional email through SendByte. The sender domain must be a verified sending domain (or use the shared test domain with a test key). Provide html and/or text, or a template_id with variables. A test key (sk_test_) sandboxes the send.

get_email

Fetch one email by id, including its delivery status and event timeline (queued, sent, delivered, bounced, complained).

list_emails

List recent emails for the project, newest first, with cursor pagination. Optionally filter by delivery status.

list_domains

List the sending domains on the account with their verification status and whether deliverability (SPF/DMARC/MAIL FROM) is fully configured.

get_domain

Get one sending domain by id, including the DNS records to publish (DKIM, SPF, DMARC, MAIL FROM) and their current state.

verify_domain

Re-check a domain's DNS records and SES status now, and report which records pass and whether the domain is verified.

list_templates

List saved email templates for the project (id, name, subject, format, version).

get_template

Get one saved template by id, including its subject and body (html/text/mjml).

preview_template

Render a saved template with sample variables and return the resolved subject and body, without sending anything.

get_analytics

Get daily send counts by status and deliverability rates (delivered, bounce, complaint) over the last N days.

scan_content

Pre-send deliverability and spam-risk check for email content. Returns a score, risk level, and the specific signals found, so an agent can fix risky content before sending.

// known CVEs in dependencies2 critical3 high1 low

To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

11/11 tools missing one or more hints — send_email (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_email (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_emails (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +8 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool inputs are validated

9/11 tool handlers declare input schemas (82%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tests pass

npm test failed — tests do not pass

Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.19.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.19.0 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

2 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
