How to Send Emails in VS Code with Mailtrap MCP Server

VS Code can send emails through the Mailtrap MCP server by connecting its AI Agent and Copilot features to the Mailtrap Email API on Windows or macOS. Setup requires current versions of Node.js and VS Code, enabling MCP support in VS Code settings, and adding a Mailtrap server configuration containing an API token and verified default sender address; users may also need to remove or install an existing time-server MCP dependency to prevent loading errors. After configuration, users select Agent mode and the Mailtrap tool in VS Code’s AI pane, then approve prompts that instruct Copilot to send plain-text emails, HTML-formatted messages, or emails to multiple recipients. Mailtrap’s Email Logs and preview tools can be used to confirm delivery details and verify HTML formatting.
