Claude Code Integration

Overview

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that runs in your terminal. With BounceRaptor's MCP server, Claude Code can verify email addresses as a native tool call, making it perfect for building and testing email-related applications.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Get Your MCP Key

In your BounceRaptor dashboard, go to Settings → MCP Keys and create a new key labeled "Claude Code". Copy the generated key.

Step 2: Add MCP Server to Claude Code

Create or edit your Claude Code MCP configuration file at ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json (or .mcp.json in your project root):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounceraptor": {
      "serverUrl": "https://bounceraptor.com/api/mcp/verify-email/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verify Emails in Claude Code

Once configured, restart Claude Code. The BounceRaptor tools will be automatically discovered. You can then ask Claude to verify emails:

Verify these emails and tell me which ones are safe to send to:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
