Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Mailercloud

Ask your AI who clicked in last week's newsletter, to add a new contact to a list, or to draft a campaign in Mailercloud. It can create and update contacts, lists and tags, read templates, segments and senders, create, update and schedule campaigns, send test emails and read opens, clicks and unsubscribes.

Try asking

“Who clicked a link in our September newsletter?”
The AI finds the campaign and lists the contacts who clicked, page by page.
“Add [email protected] to the Customers list with the tag webinar.”
It finds the list and creates the contact, or updates it if the email already exists, with the tag.
“Draft a campaign to the Customers list using our October template.”
It reads the template, picks a verified sender and creates the campaign without a send time, so nothing goes out yet.

What your AI can do

Contacts and lists

Create, update and look up contacts, create and rename lists, list the contacts in a list, and manage tags and custom properties.

Campaigns

Create, update and schedule email campaigns, read templates, segments and verified senders, and send test emails.

Reports

See who opened, clicked or unsubscribed from a campaign, read campaign statistics and check your account's plan limits.

“Send a test of the October campaign to me.”
It sends a real test email of the campaign to the address you give.
“Schedule the October campaign for Tuesday at 9:00.”
It schedules the campaign. At that time it is emailed to every contact on its lists.
“How many contacts are on each of our lists?”
It lists your contact lists with their contact counts.

Questions

What can the AI do in Mailercloud?

It can read contacts, lists, tags, custom properties, segments, senders, templates, campaigns and your account details, and list who opened, clicked or unsubscribed. It can create and update contacts, lists and tags, create, update and schedule campaigns, send test emails and delete a contact.

Does the AI see my Mailercloud API key?

No. Your Mailercloud API key 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 lookups and reports only. Scheduling a campaign emails real recipients, test emails are real emails, 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, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and 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 Mailercloud account.

Can the AI send a campaign without asking me?

Only if you let it. A campaign goes out when it is scheduled, either with schedule_campaign or by setting a send time when it is created. Turn on approval for those tools, or leave scheduling off and let the AI create drafts that you send from Mailercloud yourself.
