Try asking

“How did last week's newsletter do?”
The AI finds the campaign and reads its stats: opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes, plus clicks per link.
“Draft a campaign to the Customers list using our monthly template.”
It looks up the list, a confirmed sender and the template, and creates a draft campaign. Nothing is sent until it is scheduled.
“Send a test of that campaign to [email protected].”
It sends a test version of the campaign to the address you gave.

What your AI can do

Campaigns

Create and update draft campaigns, send tests, schedule or unschedule sending, and list templates and confirmed senders.

Lists and contacts

Create lists, list and search contacts, add, update, tag, unsubscribe or delete contacts, and read segments and their contacts.

Reports

Read campaign stats, clicks per link, list stats and sending statistics for the whole account.

“Schedule it for Tuesday at 9:00.”
It schedules the campaign for that time. At that point it goes to real contacts, and it can be unscheduled back to draft before then.
“Add [email protected] to the Webinar list and tag her as lead.”
It adds the contact to the list and adds the tag.
“Unsubscribe contact 1882 from the Newsletter list.”
It unsubscribes the contact from that list so they get no more campaigns from it.

Questions

What can the AI do in Cakemail?

The AI can read campaigns, campaign and link stats, lists, list stats, contacts, segments, tags, templates, senders and account details and statistics. It can create lists and draft campaigns, update campaigns and contacts, add, tag, unsubscribe and delete contacts, send test emails, and schedule or unschedule campaigns.

Does the AI see my Cakemail credentials?

No. Your Cakemail login details are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with reports only. Scheduling a campaign sends email to real contacts and deleting a contact is permanent, so those tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Cakemail account.

Why does Cakemail ask for my login email and password?

Cakemail's API signs in with the email and password of a Cakemail user. PipMCP exchanges them for a short-lived access token when it calls Cakemail, and stores them encrypted. Accounts protected by multi-factor authentication cannot sign in this way.
