How do I add a tag to a contact?

Use the `add_tag_to_contact` tool and provide the contact ID and the tag ID. Your agent will associate the tag with that specific contact in ActiveCampaign.

What is the API rate limit for ActiveCampaign?

ActiveCampaign enforces a standard limit of 5 requests per second per account. Exceeding this returns a 429 error code.

Should I use API version 1 or 3?

While version 1 is still technically supported, we always recommend (and this agent defaults to) RESTful API version 3 for performance and stability.

Common questions about integrating ActiveCampaign MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call ActiveCampaign tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
