Email deliverability tools inside Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.

Connect Pipefire once, then ask your assistant to check a domain's SPF, DKIM and DMARC, look it up on blacklists, read a spam message's headers or score a cold email. Sixteen tools, free, no account and no API key.

https://pipefire.ai/mcp

Connect it

Claude (claude.ai and the desktop app)

Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. Name it Pipefire and paste https://pipefire.ai/mcp as the URL. No sign-in is needed.

ChatGPT

With developer mode on (Settings, Apps and connectors, Advanced), choose Create, name it Pipefire, paste https://pipefire.ai/mcp and set authentication to No authentication.

Claude Code

Run claude mcp add --transport http pipefire https://pipefire.ai/mcp

Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and other clients

Add a remote (streamable HTTP) server to the client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipefire": { "url": "https://pipefire.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Then just ask, for example: “Check whether acme.com is set up properly to send email”, “Why did this email go to spam?” with the headers pasted in, or “Score this cold email and fix the subject line”.

The sixteen tools

  • check_domain_email_setup MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC in one go, each with pass, warn or fail and the fix.
  • check_dmarc The DMARC record, its policy, and whether the domain can be impersonated.
  • check_spf SPF validity, the 10-lookup limit, and the all mechanism.
  • check_dkim The DKIM key, trying Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and common selectors.
  • check_mx Mail servers and which provider handles the email.
  • check_bimi BIMI (logo in the inbox) and whether DMARC is strict enough for it.
  • check_mta_sts The MTA-STS policy that forces encrypted delivery.
  • check_blacklists A domain's sending IPs, or one IPv4 address, on Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop and more.
  • analyze_email_headers SPF, DKIM and DMARC results, alignment and delivery delays from raw headers.
  • check_cold_email A cold email scored out of 10 for length, reading level, the ask and spam wording.
  • test_subject_line A subject line scored out of 10, with fixes.
  • suggest_sending_domains Lookalike sending domains for cold email, with live .com and .net availability.
  • guess_email_addresses Likely address formats for a person at a company.
  • generate_spf_record A valid SPF record from the services a domain sends with.
  • generate_dmarc_record A DMARC record from a policy and report addresses.
  • generate_dkim_record A DKIM public key formatted as the TXT record to publish.

They run the same code as the free tools on this site, so an answer in your assistant matches the answer on the page. Nothing costs per use, so nothing needs an account.

Questions

What is the Pipefire MCP server?

A remote Model Context Protocol server at https://pipefire.ai/mcp that gives AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor sixteen free email deliverability and cold email tools: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, BIMI and MTA-STS checks, a blacklist check, an email header analyzer, a cold email and subject line scorer, a sending domain generator, an email permutator and SPF, DMARC and DKIM record generators.

Is it free? Do I need an API key?

Free, with no account and no API key. The tools are the same ones on pipefire.ai/tools, with the same hourly limits per visitor so nobody can use them as a bulk scanner.

What does it store?

Nothing. It runs a fresh, stateless server for every request. The domains, headers and emails you send are checked and forgotten. We count which tool was used, not what was checked.

Can my AI assistant check why my emails go to spam?

Yes. Ask it to check your domain with Pipefire: it reads your MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, checks your sending IPs against the main blacklists, and if you paste the headers of a message that landed in spam it reads the authentication results and tells you which check failed and how to fix it.

Can it send email or change my DNS?

No. Every tool is read-only. It looks up public DNS, reads text you give it and writes records for you to publish yourself. It never sends email and never touches your DNS or accounts.

How is this different from MXToolbox or a DMARC checker website?

The checks are comparable; the difference is where you use them. Your assistant runs them in the middle of the conversation, explains the result in context, and can check several domains or rewrite a record without you switching tabs. Every answer links to a plain-English Pipefire guide for the fix.

Pipefire is the done-for-you cold email platform: separate sending domains with every record above in place, warmed mailboxes, verified prospects and emails written for you to approve. See how setup works.
