Questions
Can I connect two SendGrid accounts to Claude?
Yes. Connect each one in Manyplug under its own name, for example Work and Personal. Claude can use one of them or all at once.
Will Claude change anything in SendGrid without asking?
By default these actions wait for your approval before they run: “Send an email” and “Send a template”. Other changes follow your rules, which you can make stricter per account.
Do I need an official SendGrid MCP server for this?
No. Manyplug connects to SendGrid itself with a key or app password you paste into its form, and gives Claude the tools through one MCP address, together with your other services.
Is it free to connect Claude to Manyplug?
Yes. New workspaces get 14 days of Pro free, then the free plan keeps going with 150 actions a month and up to 3 connected accounts. No card needed. Paid plans start at $5 a month.
Does Claude see my passwords or API keys?
No. Keys are entered on Manyplug’s own pages, stored encrypted with a separate key per account, and the AI only receives tool results.
