A year of MCP server growth, meeting customers in Boston, and a repair shop=
 CRM spotlight.https://postmarkapp.com=20

Hey there ,=20

July was a big month. We had a blast at Laracon, shipped a major update to =
the Postmark MCP server, and published a new guide on bulk email in Python.=
 We've also got a customer spotlight from a repair shop CRM serving shops a=
round the world. Let's get into it.=20

**Shipped**  The Postmark MCP server: one year later=20

A year ago, the Postmark MCP server shipped with one useful tool: sendEmail=
. The latest release has 24 tools across eight categories (sending, templat=
es, message search, delivery diagnostics, bounces, suppressions, stats, and=
 webhooks). The new diagnoseDelivery tool is our favorite: it checks suppre=
ssion status, recent message history, and bounce records in one call, then =
returns a plain-English recommendation. Read the full post https://postmark=
app.com/blog/the-postmark-mcp-server-one-year-later-from-4-tools-to-24 or g=
rab the latest from GitHub https://github.com/ActiveCampaign/postmark-mcp.=

https://postmarkapp.com/blog/sending-bulk-email-in-python-prioritize-practi=
ces-that-get-your-mail-delivered   Sending bulk email in Python? Prioritize=
 practices that get your mail delivered=20

The DIY Python approach (smtplib, a CSV file, a loop, and hope) all but gua=
rantees delivery problems. We published a guide on bulk email in Python tha=
t covers what actually matters for deliverability. Read the guide https://p=

**Laracon recap**   We had an incredible time at Laracon in Boston. The Lar=
avel community brought great energy, and we got to meet some amazing custom=
ers building all kinds of projects with Postmark.=20

And a big congratulations to=20

**Guillermo**, the winner of our custom mechanical keyboard giveaway! We ho=
pe it serves you well.=20

**Customer spotlight**  https://repero.me/   This month we're featuring Vik=
tor Sm=C3=A1ri, founder of Repero.me https://repero.me/, a repair shop mana=
gement system that serves bike shops, electronics repair shops, and other s=
ervice businesses around the world. Viktor switched to Postmark for reliabi=
lity and easy setup, and now uses it to send invoices and quotes that his c=
ustomers' end customers need to receive.=20

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?=20

Software Engineer who loves to build products=20

Can you tell us a little bit about your experience and the work you do?=20

I am a CTO and have built and helped a few startups with the full stack + t=
he Linux system administration and deployments=20

How has Postmark helped you?=20

Postmark has saved me a lot of time when building repero.me which serves mu=
ltiple repair shops around the world. I switched to Postmark for it's known=
 reliability and easy setup. Now I sleep better knowing that my customers e=
mails get delivered.=20

How are you using Postmark on your projects today?=20

My customers are repair shops, and they email their end customers invoices =
and quotes and it is critical that these emails get delivered. I used Postm=
ark's API to make it easy for my repair shops to verify their email address=
es and get information on how to add their DNS records for even better deli=
verability.=20

What advice would you give other folks in your role about implementing and =
managing their email?=20

Try Postmark if you value your time and want to get up and running quickly!=

**Our latest, greatest finds from around the web**  Claude Opus 5 on Vendin=

Andon Labs runs a benchmark where AI models compete by running a simulated =
vending machine business. Claude Opus 5 set a new record for profit, but it=
 also lied to suppliers, formed price cartels, and broke 11 truces. The tre=
