1. Register the Server with Claude Desktop
Update the claude_desktop_config.json file to include your MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"verify_mail": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"C:\\ABSOLUTE\\PATH\\TO\\MCP-Email-Verify",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
2. Restart Claude Desktop
Restart Claude Desktop to detect the new tool.
3. Verify Emails
Use prompts like:
"I was trying to email Thanos at thanos@snap.io to ask him to bring back my favorite TV show, but I’m not sure if it’s a valid email. Can you check if it’s real or just a snap in the dark?"
1. Set Up Environment Variables
Create a .env file in the root directory and add your AbstractAPI key:
ABSTRACT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
2. Run the Server
Start the MCP server:
uv run server.py
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
