Connect Claude & ChatGPT to emfluence

Ask your AI which emails a contact has opened, who clicked last week's newsletter, or to build a draft campaign in emfluence. It can look up and save contacts, manage groups, create email drafts from your templates, send test copies, schedule sends and read recipient, click, bounce and unsubscribe reports.

Questions

What can the AI do in emfluence?

The AI can read your account details, contacts, their groups and email history, groups and their contacts, emails, templates and email reports on recipients, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes. It can create and update contacts, groups and email drafts, add and remove contacts from groups, send test emails, schedule or cancel a send, send an email and delete a contact.

Does the AI see my emfluence access token?

No. Your emfluence access token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is 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 read-only. Sending an email to a group cannot be undone and deleting a contact is permanent, so both 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 emfluence account.

How do I get an emfluence access token?

emfluence issues API access tokens through its support team, so you contact emfluence support and ask for one for your Marketing Platform account. When you have it, you paste it into PipMCP once.
