Stop wasting time on email infrastructure

You have features to ship. Let your AI handle the email code.

Your AI writes correct code

Claude, Cursor, Copilot—they read our AI-friendly docs and generate working integration code on the first try.

Emails arrive instantly

Sub-200ms delivery means your users get verification emails, password resets, and notifications in seconds.

Pay only for what you send

No monthly minimums or unused capacity. Send 50 emails this month, 50,000 next month. Same rate either way.

Why your AI gets it right the first time

Most APIs confuse AI with complex docs and edge cases. Ark is built to be readable by both humans and AI.

Docs your AI can actually read

Every page available as clean Markdown. Just add .md to any URL. 10x fewer tokens, zero hallucinations from HTML parsing.

Zero surprise edge cases

Consistent response shapes, clear error messages, sensible defaults. Your AI writes working code because our API is predictable.

26 MCP tools for deeper control

Let your AI manage email operations directly. Check delivery status, handle bounces, manage suppressions. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf.

Delivered in under 200ms

Verification emails arrive while users are still on your signup page. Password resets hit inboxes before frustration sets in.

Common questions

How long does setup actually take?

Most developers send their first email in under 5 minutes. Sign up, grab your API key, point your AI at our docs, and you're sending emails. DNS verification for custom domains takes a few hours.

Will my emails actually reach the inbox?

We automatically configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for your sending domains. Same authentication used by Gmail and Outlook. Our customers see 99%+ inbox delivery rates.

You're newer than SendGrid. Can I trust Ark?

We're newer, which means faster support and a team that reads every piece of feedback. Our infrastructure is built on proven providers. If something goes wrong, email [email protected] and you'll hear back from a human within hours, not days.

What happens after my free 5,000 emails?

You pay $0.50 per 1,000 emails. No monthly minimums, no tier upgrades, no surprise charges. Send 100 emails one month and 100,000 the next. Same rate, same features.

Do I need to use the MCP server?

No. Most developers use our REST API or SDKs. The MCP server with 26 tools is optional. It's useful when your AI needs to check delivery status, handle bounces, or manage suppressions directly.
