How to Use the ActiveCampaign MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I configure CrewAI to use ActiveCampaign tools?

Install crewaitools and add the Vinkius server URL to the mcps list when defining your CrewAI agents. This exposes ActiveCampaign tools like createcontact to your crew via the MCP protocol.

Q: Can CrewAI agents assign tags in ActiveCampaign autonomously?

Yes, your CrewAI agents can use addtagtocontact to update ActiveCampaign profiles based on historical data. The CrewAI agents collaborate to decide which tags match the contact's current status.

Q: How do I limit which CrewAI agents can access the ActiveCampaign MCP Server?

Use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp with a toolfilter to restrict ActiveCampaign tools like listdeals to your CrewAI sales agent. This keeps sensitive ActiveCampaign data hidden from your support agent.

Deploy specialized CrewAI agent teams to manage your ActiveCampaign contacts, tags, and sales pipelines autonomously.

Multi-agent ActiveCampaign contact sorting with CrewAI

The `list_contacts` tool lets your CrewAI research agent search through your active ActiveCampaign contacts to identify cold leads. Once identified, a separate CrewAI marketing agent uses `add_tag_to_contact` to mark them for an ActiveCampaign re-engagement campaign. You pass the Vinkius URL directly in your CrewAI Agent's `mcps` array. This MCP setup coordinates these ActiveCampaign actions sequentially, sharing ActiveCampaign context between the researcher and the marketer.

Manage ActiveCampaign pipelines with CrewAI MCP Server

The `list_deals` tool allows a specialized CrewAI sales analyst agent to monitor active opportunities in your ActiveCampaign pipeline. If an ActiveCampaign deal requires attention, the CrewAI agent coordinates with a communications agent to prepare an update. For advanced CrewAI crews, use `MCPServerHTTP` to filter which agents can see specific ActiveCampaign tools. This keeps your ActiveCampaign sales data restricted to authorized CrewAI agent roles only.

Automate ActiveCampaign list building with CrewAI teams

The `add_contact_to_list` tool subscribes contacts to ActiveCampaign lists based on instructions from your CrewAI coordinator agent. The CrewAI crew evaluates user profiles, determines their interests, and runs the tool to update their ActiveCampaign subscriptions. Because CrewAI supports shared memory, the agents remember which ActiveCampaign contacts they have already processed. This prevents duplicate ActiveCampaign API calls and keeps your CRM database clean.

Setup guide

Set up ActiveCampaign MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke ActiveCampaign tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="ActiveCampaign Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze ActiveCampaign data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct ActiveCampaign access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent ActiveCampaign transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="ActiveCampaign Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze ActiveCampaign data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct ActiveCampaign access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent ActiveCampaign transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
