Everything you need to send with confidence

The features that matter for getting transactional email into the inbox, without the setup work.

Simple email API

One authenticated request sends a message. Use HTML or plain text, or send to many recipients with a template.

Your own domain

Verify your domain with DKIM and SPF so mail comes from you@yourcompany.com and passes authentication checks.

Delivery tracking

See whether each message was sent, delivered, bounced or reported as spam, in the dashboard or through the API.

Signed webhooks

Get delivery events pushed to your server, signed with HMAC-SHA256 and retried automatically if your endpoint is down.

Automatic suppression

Addresses that hard-bounce or complain are blocked from future sends to protect your sender reputation.

Pay in cedis

Buy prepaid credits with mobile money (MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo). No subscription and no surprise bill.

MCP server

Works with your AI assistant

Sankofa supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so Claude Code, Cursor and other AI tools can send email and check delivery for you, straight from a conversation. Add one URL and an API key.

Send email from your verified senders, then check delivery, credits and recent sends
Give the agent its own API key with a daily sending limit it can't go past
No bulk sending, and no access to your keys or billing

Connect Claude Code

$ claude mcp add --transport http sankofa \
    https://api.trysankofa.com/mcp \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer esk_your_api_key"
