Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security77
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability82
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 6917 tokens (~87/item across 79 items; 79 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage96
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 87% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 14 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "send_email" implies "send" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 79 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

How do I install the io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp server?

io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.send16.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 79 exposed · ~6,917 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

send_email ~275

Send a transactional email through Send16. Provide `html`, `text`, or both (text-only is fine for OTPs/receipts/alerts). `from_email` must belong to a domain that is verified in the workspace — call `whoami` for the account and `list_domains` to see which senders are allowed; a send from an unverified domain returns a clear error, not a silent failure. For a zero-setup first send, use from_email `onboarding@send16.com` — the sandbox sender delivers with no DNS, but only to your own account email.

Common questions

What is the io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp server?

io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp. Email for AI agents: send mail, manage contacts, automations & webhooks. Zero-DNS first send. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.send16.com/mcp).

Is the io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp server expose?

io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp exposes 79 tools: whoami, send_email, send_campaign_test, create_campaign, design_email_template, and 74 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 6,917 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp server require authentication?

Yes. io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.spruikco/send16-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
