ActiveCampaign MCP Server Contact Management

The `create_contact` tool lets Claude add new people to your CRM using just an email address. You paste meeting notes into the chat window, and the agent extracts the details to build a new profile instantly. Finding existing records works through the `list_contacts` tool. Your AI client pulls up active profiles so you can read past interactions before drafting a follow-up email.

Deal Tracking and Pipeline Data

The `list_deals` tool pulls active opportunities from your sales pipeline right into your Claude window. You ask for a specific account, and the agent fetches the current stage and value without requiring you to switch tabs. Marketing teams use this to map content to deal stages. Claude reads the pipeline status and generates targeted messaging based on real CRM data.

List and Tag Automation

The `add_tag_to_contact` tool applies specific tags to profiles using their Contact ID and Tag ID. You tell Claude a prospect attended a webinar, and it updates their record immediately. Moving people into campaigns happens through the `add_contact_to_list` tool. The MCP Server pushes contacts into targeted mailing lists so your automation sequences trigger exactly when they should.
