Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Inboxroad

Ask your AI how today's sending went, which addresses bounced, or to add someone to a list. It can read live stats, bounces, spam complaints, contact lists, segments, sender profiles and email templates. It can also add and update contacts, create lists, suppress addresses, unsubscribe contacts and send single or transactional emails.

Try asking

“How is sending going today?”
The AI gets live stats for today: sent, delivered, opens and bounces.
“Which addresses bounced? Include soft bounces.”
It lists bounce events, including soft bounces.
“Did we get any spam complaints?”
It lists the feedback-loop events, so you can see who marked your email as spam.

What your AI can do

Stats and deliverability

Read live sending stats for a date or range, bounces including soft bounces, and spam complaints.

Lists, contacts and segments

Search and create contact lists, add, update and unsubscribe contacts, and see which contacts match a segment.

Sending

Send single emails or transactional emails, use your sender profiles and templates, and suppress addresses.

“Add [email protected] to the Newsletter list.”
It finds the list and adds the contact with email and name.
“Never email these three addresses again.”
It adds the addresses to your suppression list.
“Send the welcome email to [email protected] with his first name.”
It sends the transactional email to that address with his name as a template variable. This delivers a real email.

Questions

What can the AI do in Inboxroad?

The AI can read live stats, bounces, spam complaints, contact lists, contacts, segments, sender profiles and email templates. It can create contact lists, add and update contacts, unsubscribe contacts, suppress addresses, and send single and transactional emails.

Does the AI see my Inboxroad credentials?

No. Your Inboxroad API 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 with stats and lookups. Sending an email delivers a real email, and it can require your approval before it runs, as can changes to lists and suppressions. 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 Inboxroad account.

How do I get an Inboxroad API token?

Inboxroad gives out API tokens through its token endpoint. Send your account email and password as JSON to https://webapi.inboxroad.com/api/token/, or use the interactive docs at webapi.inboxroad.com/interactive/. You get one token per profile. Copy the one for the profile you want and paste it into PipMCP.
