Check whether an email address will accept mail before you send

Most email verification tools mean one more account and one more credit pack. contact.verify routes the check across several verification providers from one key: give it an address, get back valid, invalid or unknown, the catch-all flag when known and the mail provider. If one provider cannot decide, the next one is tried.

Ask your agent

Verify this address before I send the proposal and tell me if the domain accepts all mail.

Connect RouterGrowth once, then ask in plain words. New workspaces start with $1 of credit. Get a key or read the setup guide.

One address checked: the first provider could not decide, the second confirmed it as verified in the same run.

Step by step

How do you do it?

  1. Connect RouterGrowth once

    Add the MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, or call the REST API with your RouterGrowth key.

  2. Pass the address

    contact.verify takes one email. The agent can read it from a CRM export, a sheet or a reply.

  3. Read the verdict

    valid, invalid or unknown, with the provider's own status, catch-all when known and the mail server.

  4. Act on it

    Keep valid, drop invalid, and decide on unknown and catch-all by how much the contact matters.

Price

What does it cost?

List prices on this call, read from the catalog when this page was built. The exact figure is quoted before every run, and a monthly plan lowers it.

In practice

What do you ask it?

You describe the job; the agent picks the calls, shows the price and runs them.

Verify this address before I send the proposal and tell me if the domain accepts all mail.

Find this person's work email and verify it with a second provider.

Connect

How do you connect it?

One MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, or the same call over the CLI and REST with the input above.

CLI
npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c contact.verify -i '{"email": "a.rivera@example.com"}'

Worth knowing

What should you know first?

Several tools, one bill

The router tries verification providers cheapest first and stops at the first clear verdict, all on one RouterGrowth balance.

Catch-all is not valid

A catch-all domain accepts every address, so a mailbox can still bounce later. The flag is returned when the provider knows it.

No email is sent

Verification checks the mail server. It does not send a message to the address.

FAQ

Questions about email verification tools

Which verification providers are behind it?

The providers are listed with their live status on this page. The router picks among the ones that are live.

Am I charged for unknown results?

The call bills per verdict returned. A run where no provider returns a result is not charged.

Can it verify personal addresses like Gmail?

It checks any address you pass, but large free mail providers often answer unknown because they do not confirm mailboxes.

Is this better than one tool's dashboard?

It is different: there is no dashboard to upload to. Your agent verifies the address inside the job it is already doing.
