How it works

Add Mailtrap’s MCP server to give the Augment Code’s Agent access to Mailtrap’s Email API, Email Sandbox, and template management. Type a natural-language prompt in the Agent panel, and Augment handles the API calls; no manual HTTP requests, no context switching.

Configuration

Step 1: Open the Augment panel in your editor and go to Settings via the gear icon.

Step 2: In the MCP section, click Import from JSON.

Step 3: Paste the following configuration and click Save:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "mailtrap": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-mailtrap"],
        "env": {
          "MAILTRAP_API_TOKEN": "your_mailtrap_api_token",
          "DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL": "your_sender@example.com",
          "MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID": "your_account_id",
          "MAILTRAP_TEST_INBOX_ID": "your_test_inbox_id"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Replace the placeholder values with your actual Mailtrap credentials before importing.

Step 5: Confirm the Mailtrap MCP server appears as active in the Agent’s tool list.

Note: DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL must be an address on a domain you’ve already verified in Mailtrap’s Sending Domains. You can find MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID under Settings → Account Settings, and MAILTRAP_TEST_INBOX_ID in your sandbox inbox URL.
