Documentation
Mailtani MCP Server
> Manage your email marketing directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent.
The Mailtani MCP server exposes your contacts, lists, segments, campaigns, emails, tags, custom fields, and event tracking as native AI tools — so your agent can send campaigns, enroll contacts, and track events without leaving the chat.
What you can do
| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| Contacts | List, create (or upsert), update, delete |
| Lists | List all, create, add contacts, remove contact |
| Segments | List all, create with conditions, get matching contacts |
| Campaigns | List, create broadcast, create sequence, create flow (all as drafts) |
| Emails | List sent emails, send one-off transactional email |
| Tags | List all, create, delete |
| Custom Fields | List all, create |
| Events | Track a custom event (triggers flows) |
Example prompts you can use
"Create a broadcast campaign called 'Q3 Newsletter' targeting my 'Leads' list."
"Create a contact for john@acme.com, tag him as VIP, and send him the onboarding email."
"Track a purchase_completed event for sarah@example.com with plan=pro."
"Show me all contacts added in the last 7 days."
"Set up a 3-step welcome sequence for new signups with delays of 0, 3, and 7 days."
"Create a flow that sends an email whenever a contact is added to my project."Authentication
The MCP server uses the same API key system as the Mailtani REST API.
Every request requires two headers:
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
| `Authorization` | `Bearer mk_YOUR_API_KEY` |
| `X-Project-Id` | Your project ID (found in Settings → API) |
Generate an API key at Settings → API Keys inside your Mailtani account.
