And MCP makes the experience even better. With Resend MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Resend with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resend/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Resend to Codex ### How to install Resend MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Resend MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Resend MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Resend account. It provides structured and secure access to your email sending and contact management capabilities, so your agent can perform actions like sending emails, managing audiences, creating domains, and handling contacts on your behalf. - Automated email delivery and scheduling: Ask your agent to send emails instantly or schedule them for later, and even cancel scheduled messages if needed. - Audience and contact management: Let your agent create, list, or delete audiences and individual contacts, keeping your recipient lists organized without manual effort. - Domain administration: Easily have your agent set up, list, or remove email sending domains, streamlining onboarding or maintenance for your email infrastructure. - Seamless recipient segmentation: Direct your agent to group contacts into audiences for targeted campaigns or communications, improving personalization and reach. - Bulk operations and cleanups: Enable your agent to quickly list, update, or delete multiple contacts, audiences, or domains to maintain a tidy and up-to-date email system. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `RESEND_ADD_CONTACT_TO_SEGMENT` | Add Contact To Segment | Add an existing contact to a segment in Resend.

With a standalone Resend MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Resend tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Resend and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex? Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Resend tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Resend while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Resend scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Resend data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
