I haven't used this library, but it looks to me like you can just add headers in the view above the email. That is the view you create contains the entire email--including headers. In the documentation you can see that To: and From: are included in the view. This is from the documentation:
To: @ViewBag.To
From: lolcats@website.com
Subject: Important Message
Hello,
You wanted important web links right?
Check out this: @ViewBag.FunnyLink

So I think you could likely do something like:
X-SMTPAPI: @ViewBag.jsonAPIString
To: @ViewBag.To
From: lolcats@website.com
Subject: Important Message
Hello,
