How to send email with Resend with Claude Code

Resend scores 5/5 on our Claude Code fit scale: official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with MCP server + 5 skills. These steps use only Resend’s and Anthropic’s official instructions; each step links its source.

1. 1

   Have Claude Code and a Resend account ready

   You need Claude Code installed and an account with Resend (resend.com). Some tools only need the account when the agent first calls a live tool.

   No marketplace setup needed

   This plugin is in Anthropic’s official marketplace (claude-plugins-official), which Claude Code adds automatically the first time you start an interactive session.

   Run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to see connected servers, check status and complete sign-in where the server uses OAuth.

   Let the skills do the SDK work

   The plugin bundles 5 skills that Claude loads when relevant, or you can call one directly with /skill-name.
