mcp-mailtrap: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-mailtrap CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from pijusz/mcp-mailtrap. It costs 388 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Developer instructions for an MCP server that connects coding agents to Mailtrap, an email testing and delivery platform. They describe its structure, commands, and patterns for adding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the mcp-mailtrap codebase, especially when adding Mailtrap tools, validating inputs, handling API requests, or formatting analytics results.
Why use it?
They give contributors a shared reference for building, testing, linting, and extending the server without having to rediscover its conventions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is pijusz/mcp-mailtrap's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-mailtrap itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-mailtrap configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-mailtrap CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

mcp-mailtrap

MCP server for the Mailtrap email platform. Analytics-first with full CRUD.

Quick Reference

  • Runtime: Bun (dev) / Node (built)
  • Entry: src/index.ts
  • Build: bun run build → binary; bun run build:npmdist/index.js
  • Test: bun test
  • Lint: biome check src/

Architecture

  • Single unified API client routes to 4 Mailtrap base URLs automatically
  • All tools return { content: [{ type: "text", text }] } MCP format
  • fetchWithRetry handles 429/5xx with exponential backoff
  • Account ID resolved lazily on first tool call (env var → auto-discover)
  • 4 base URLs: mailtrap.io (general), send.api (transactional), bulk.api (bulk), sandbox.api (sandbox)

Key Patterns

  • Tool files export registerXTools(server: McpServer) functions
  • Zod for parameter validation
  • formatTable for analytics output (Metric | Count | Rate %)
  • react-email renders component files (.tsx/.jsx/.js/.mjs) to HTML (not arbitrary strings)
  • SMTP credentials redacted in sandbox inbox responses
  • Multi-action tools use action param to consolidate CRUD operations

Adding New Tools

  1. Add tool in appropriate file under src/tools/
  2. Use server.tool(name, description, zodSchema, handler)
  3. Use request<T>() from mailtrap-api service
  4. Use resolveAccountId() for account-scoped endpoints
  5. Format output with formatTable() or JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)
  6. Return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text }] }
  7. Register in src/tools/index.ts
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
