How do I integrate it?

Through the API: one request starts the verification, a second reads the verdict, or a signed webhook sends it to you as soon as it's ready. For a whole list, send it as a batch, from the dashboard or the API. Your AI agents can use it directly too, through our MCP server.

Do you catch disposable addresses and typos?

Yes. Disposable and temporary domains are flagged, even when they hide behind a disposable service's mail server. And a typo checker suggests the address that was probably meant: jane@gmial.com prompts jane@gmail.com, before the email bounces.

Is there a free offer?

Yes: free tokens once your email is confirmed, no credit card. Enough to try it on a real list before picking a plan.

Real-time email verification

The problem

Too many bounces, and it's no longer the address that gets blocked. It's you.

Amazon SES puts an account under review at a 5% bounce rate and can pause its sending at 10%. Long before that, a dead address is already costing you, somewhere that depends on what you send. Pick yours.

You send to a list

A few dead addresses are enough to get your sending suspended.

Sending platforms watch your bounces: Brevo suspends an account above 2% on a send to new contacts, HubSpot at 5% in a month. Each bounce also wears down your sender reputation, the one that decides whether the rest of your mail arrives.

400bounces from a single send to 10,000 new contacts with 4% dead addresses. Brevo suspends an account past 200.

Each one counts against your account.

You collect signups

The address is mistyped, so the account never activates.

You paid for the acquisition and wrote the welcome email, and nobody will read it. The customer concludes that your product does not work.

Your customers' dirty lists become your reputation.

Your IPs and domains carry every user's bounces, and a single careless account degrades deliverability for all the others.

Emails verified

For 9 verdicts out of 10

Google, Microsoft and Yahoo addresses are settled without asking their server, so the verdict is instant. For the rest, we ask the receiving server, which takes a few seconds. Real figures, updated daily.

How to use it

One engine, four ways in.

The same engine behind every way in, paid for with the same tokens.

Why us

Four questions,
one answer.

Do you keep my addresses?
No.
An address only passes through, for as long as it takes to verify it. All we keep is a one-way fingerprint, which cannot be turned back into the address, for the cache and aggregate statistics.
Do you make up a verdict when you don't know?
No.
A provider that doesn't answer reliably gets a valid with a capped score and the reason spelled out. Anything we couldn't settle comes back not verifiable, never valid by default.

Do I pay for a check that got no answer?
No.
If the mail server doesn't answer, the mailbox check is refunded. An address verified recently is served again for free, and every token shows up in your history.

Do my lists leave the European Union?
No.
They are verified on our servers in Germany, with no processor outside the Union. Only each address's own mail server is asked, wherever it is, and only about that one address.

For your AI agents

Your agent verifies. You stay in control.

MCP is the standard that lets an AI assistant use an outside tool. Plug PricklyMails in once, and your assistant verifies an address or a whole list whenever you ask it to.

Same billing as the API: an agent running on its own only pays for the answers it gets, never for the attempts.
And it gets the same honest verdict: "not verifiable" rather than a guessed valid it would act on alone.

PricklyMails

Set up in three steps

Add the server
In your assistant's connector settings, paste this address.
https://mcp.pricklymails.com/mcp
Connect your account
You sign in to PricklyMails and pick the agent that gets access, with its permissions. No key to copy, and you can revoke it whenever you like.
Ask
"Check these addresses and tell me which ones to remove." The agent picks the tool and hands you the result.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Verification

Every verdict comes from real checks: the address format, the domain and its mail servers, then, when possible, the receiving server itself, asked without sending any email.

Google, Microsoft and Yahoo don't answer that question reliably. For their addresses, you get a valid verdict with a capped score and the reason, rather than a confirmation they never gave.

When we can't tell, the verdict is "not verifiable". We never guess.

Integration

Data and GDPR

Verification runs on our servers in Germany, inside the EU: that's where your lists are processed. The address is never written to disk: it stays in memory while it is verified, and we only keep a one-way fingerprint, which cannot be turned back into the address, for your history and the cache. Nothing is sold.

Only billing (Stripe) and your account emails (Resend) go through providers that may process data in the US, under the contractual safeguards our privacy policy details.

Plans and pricing

With a subscription and tokens. The subscription unlocks the features (catch-all domains, webhooks, list size, API throughput) and credits tokens every month; each verification spends a few tokens depending on the checks you choose.

Need more volume? Top up tokens, which never expire. A top-up adds volume, not features: those stay the ones of your subscription.

An address verified recently is served again for free, and an unverifiable result refunds the checks that did not complete.

Check your list before your next send.

1,000 tokens free when you sign up, no credit card. After that, you only pay for answers.
