How it works

Three steps. One URL change.

Your app keeps using the Resend SDK. RelayCut just intercepts the call.

01
🖥️

Drop on your VPS

Unzip, fill in one .env file, run docker compose up -d. Done in under 5 minutes.

02
🔗

Change one URL

Point your Resend baseURL from api.resend.com to your-vps-ip:3000. Nothing else changes.

03
💸

Pay SMTP prices

Every email routes through Brevo, Mailgun, or Postmark. RelayCut pays for itself in under 30 days.

04
🤖

Let your agent handle it

Point Cursor, Claude, or any AI agent at the included AGENTS.md — it has everything the agent needs to integrate RelayCut into your codebase in one shot.

The only change in your codebase
−baseURL: "https://api.resend.com"
+baseURL: "http://YOUR_VPS_IP:3000"
That's it. Your Resend SDK call works completely unchanged.
