Official Resend plugin for Claude Code

Install the MCP server and every Resend skill directly from the official Claude Code plugins.

Felipe Freitag

The best agent experience requires context provided by tooling like MCP servers, skills, and CLIs. Historically, to get the most out of Claude Code with Resend required installing the MCP server and every skill separately.

Today, we're excited to announce the official Claude Code plugin for Resend.

The plugin bundles the MCP server and every Resend Skill into a single install.

Resend Claude Code Plugin

How to use it

To install the plugin, open Claude Code and run the /plugin command. Type resend to search for the plugin and install it.

Alternatively, run the following command in your terminal:

claude plugin install resend@claude-plugins-official

The plugin bundles the MCP server and every Resend Skill into a single install.

Add your Resend API key to your Claude Code environment to authenticate.

{
  "env": {
    "RESEND_API_KEY": "re_xxxxxxxxx"
  }
}

Email expertise, on by default

Once installed, Claude Code activates the right skill automatically:

  • resend for the SDK and platform APIs
  • react-email for building templates as React components
  • email-best-practices for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, compliance, and deliverability
  • agent-email-inbox for safely processing inbound email with an agent
  • resend-cli for shell and CI workflows

The MCP server (or Resend CLI) can help Claude Code perform actions like sending emails, managing templates, and processing inbound email. And skills ensure the tooling follows best practices in a token-efficient way.

Conclusion

We're excited to see how this connection makes it easier to build with Resend and Claude Code. See the plugin page at claude.com/plugins/resend for everything Resend brings to your agent.
