The project uses Google-only sign-in with no passwords or teams, and exposes a single public API shared by its dashboard, SDK, and MCP server, with the opensend-js package installable from npm. Setup is offered through Docker or Cloudflare, or by pasting a guided prompt into a coding agent that reads api/README.md first.", "body_md": "Self-hosted transactional email, newsletters, and campaigns with Amazon SES.

Explore this repo and read\napi/README.md first. Ask what I want to send, whether I prefer Docker\nor Cloudflare, and what infrastructure I already have. Recommend the\nsimplest setup and explain the plan before making changes. Use my own\naccounts and resources, keep secrets out of git, and start with simulated\nsending. Ask before provisioning, deploying, or sending real email.\n```\n\nPrefer a manual setup?
