How this service works
Free need-to-tool routing plus pay-per-call npm docs and TypeScript API signatures, npm breaking-change diffs, JavaScript-rendered browser snapshots and deterministic coding-agent checks via AgentCash/x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a data field containing has_mx (boolean indicating whether the domain has valid MX DNS records) and syntax_valid (boolean indicating whether the email address is syntactically well-formed), plus a meta field with engine identifier 'email-preflight'.
Example use cases
Pre-send email deliverability check
“Before I send this campaign, can you verify that hello@acmecorp.io has valid syntax and a working MX record so I know it won't bounce?”
User signup email validation
“A new user just entered support@startup-xyz.com on our signup form — can you quickly check if that email address is syntactically valid and has MX records before we accept it?”
Bulk contact list screening
“I have the address sales@bigclient.com I'm about to cold-email — can you do a preflight check to confirm the domain is set up to receive mail and the address looks legitimate?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-canary.nicolas-x402-16f380a7.workers.dev/v1/email/preflightWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, fast preflight check combining both syntax validation and MX record lookup in a single call before sending email or accepting user input. Prefer this over full email verification services when you need only basic deliverability signals (syntax + MX) without SMTP handshake or inbox verification, and when cost-per-call economics via x402/USDC micropayments fit your use case.
Side effects
- Invalid or missing email field returns validation error
- Non-existent or unreachable domain may cause MX lookup timeout
- Malformed JSON input returns parse error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 Payment Required
- DNS resolution failures may cause has_mx to return false even for valid domains
