Fastest path to a key
- Sign up at signup.sendgrid.com (starts 60-day free trial)
- Email verificationVerify email
- Phone OTPEnable mandatory 2FA (SMS or Authy)
- Complete account/profile questionnaire
- Settings > API Keys > Create (Restricted: Mail Send full access)
- Domain verificationVerify sender identity: Single Sender verification (click email link) or Domain Authentication (DNS CNAMEs) before any mail sends
- Working API key
Biggest gap
No product MCP, no OAuth/CLI login, and 2FA is mandatory before you can even mint a key.
Worth copying
Granular Restricted API key scopes plus sandbox_mode on the send call for safe agent testing.

Biggest gains
- +12 Remote MCP server for the product. Host a remote MCP server (e.g. mcp.<domain>/mcp, Streamable HTTP) for your core actions.
- +8 Machine-readable API spec. Publish an OpenAPI spec at a stable URL like /openapi.json and link it from llms.txt.
- +6 Agents can self-register OAuth clients. Support dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) or client ID metadata documents so MCP clients connect in one click.
