Verifly MCP Server

Agent-native email verification over the Model Context Protocol. This server gives any MCP client — Cline, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf — a clean set of tools to verify email addresses, clean lists, run async bulk jobs, and manage a Verifly account, all without writing a single raw HTTP call.

It is built for autonomous workflows: an agent can self-register for an API key, verify a lead before sending, deduplicate and scrub an import list, kick off a bulk job and poll it to completion, and check its own credits and usage — end to end.

Tools

15 tools cover the full Verifly workflow:

| Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | verify_email | Verify a single address in real time (verdict, reason, flags, send/reject recommendation, credits) | | verify_batch | Verify a list synchronously (per-address verdicts; best for up to a few hundred) | | clean_email_list | Dedupe + drop invalid syntax, disposable, and role addresses from a list | | extract_emails | Pull every email address out of free-form text (notes, signatures, pasted docs) | | check_domain_health | MX / SPF / DMARC records + an overall health score for a domain | | get_credits | Remaining verification credits + recent usage (free, no credits) | | submit_bulk | Submit an async bulk verification job for large lists (returns a job_id; optional webhook_url) | | get_job_status | Status + progress of a bulk job | | get_job_results | Per-address results of a completed bulk job | | list_jobs | List the account's bulk jobs (filter by status, paginate) | | get_usage | Detailed usage statistics for a period (day / week / month) | | get_account | Account profile: email, company, credits, plan, key count (free) | | get_packages | List the credit packages available to purchase | | buy_credits | Start a credit-package purchase and return a checkout link | | register_account | Self-onboard a brand-new account; returns an api_key shown once |

Authentication

Get an API key from https://verifly.email (or have an agent self-register with register_account). The server reads the key from the VERIFLY_API_KEY environment variable. Every Verifly request is authenticated with Authorization: Bearer <key>.

The hosted HTTP transport also accepts a per-request Authorization: Bearer <key> header (which overrides the env var), so each caller can supply their own key.

Install (local, stdio) — recommended for Cline

npx -y verifly-mcp-server

or install it globally:

npm install -g verifly-mcp-server
verifly-mcp-server

Client config

Add this to your MCP client config (Cline: cline_mcp_settings.json; Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verifly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "verifly-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VERIFLY_API_KEY": "vf_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

That's the whole setup — no build step, no clone. See llms-install.md for an agent-followable install guide.

Hosted Streamable-HTTP transport

If you'd rather not run anything locally, Verifly hosts the same server as a remote Streamable-HTTP endpoint:

https://verifly.email/mcp

Point any Streamable-HTTP-capable MCP client at that URL and pass your key as an Authorization: Bearer <key> header. Example raw call:

curl -s -X POST https://verifly.email/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vf_your_api_key" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"verify_email","arguments":{"email":"[email protected]"}}}'

Self-hosting the HTTP transport

PORT=8787 VERIFLY_API_KEY=vf_your_api_key node src/http.js
# or: PORT=8787 VERIFLY_API_KEY=vf_... npm run start:http

| Var | Default | Purpose | |-----|---------|---------| | PORT | 8787 | Listen port | | HOST | 0.0.0.0 | Bind address | | MCP_PATH | /mcp | Path the MCP endpoint is served on | | VERIFLY_API_KEY | — | Fallback key when a request sends no Authorization header | | VERIFLY_BASE_URL | https://verifly.email | API base override |

• MCP endpoint: POST {MCP_PATH} (stateless Streamable HTTP).
• Health check: GET /healthz → {"ok":true}.

Test

VERIFLY_API_KEY=vf_your_api_key npm run test:e2e

Drives the stdio server through the MCP protocol and performs a real verify_email + get_credits call against the live API.
