SendGrid for AI agents

SendGrid is a cloud email delivery service that sends transactional and marketing email at scale. Developers and marketing teams use it to reach inboxes reliably and track how messages perform. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

01 · USE CASES

What agents do in SendGrid.

01

Send a transactional email

Fire off a receipt, password reset, or notification email through an authenticated sending domain.

02

Manage recipient lists

Add or update a contact and place them on the right marketing list without duplicating records.

03

Pause a scheduled send for review

Cancel or pause a scheduled campaign send so a person can check it before it reaches inboxes.

02 · ACTIONS

364 SendGrid actions, graded by risk.

Every SendGrid action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

SendGrid in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect SendGridThey add their SendGrid api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create list” can wait for the user, and “delete blocks” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls SendGrid through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('sendgrid', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_list
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_blocks
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How SendGrid connects.

Users add their SendGrid api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same SendGrid connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

SendGrid and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use SendGrid with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect SendGrid to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the SendGrid actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect SendGrid?

Users add their SendGrid api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which SendGrid actions can my agent take?

364 in total: 171 read, 132 write and 61 destructive, such as “create list”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in SendGrid?

Yes. Actions like “delete blocks” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call SendGrid too?

Yes. The same SendGrid connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
