Sample Prompts with Claude

Send an Email

Note: sending an email currently (2025-03-18) seems to require a paid account with Anthropic. You'll get a silent failure on the free account

Can you send an email to EMAIL_HERE with a funny email body that makes it sound like it's from the IT Desk from Office Space?
Please use the sending domain DOMAIN_HERE, and make the email from "postmaster@DOMAIN_HERE"!

Fetch and Visualize Sending Statistics

Would you be able to make a chart with email delivery statistics for the past week?

Debugging

The MCP server communicates over stdio, please refer to Debugging section of the Model Context Protocol.
