Run terminal-based audits with this Beehiiv MCP Server

The `list_subscriptions` tool gets your active Beehiiv reader list directly into your Claude Code shell. Claude Code pipes this raw Beehiiv subscriber data into local scripts, allowing you to run quick bash audits without opening a browser. When building terminal pipelines, the agent uses `create_subscription` to add new readers to Beehiiv. Scripting this to run automatically when a local Claude Code terminal signup script succeeds saves you time.

Fetch post performance metrics via CLI

The `get_post_stats` tool gets Beehiiv open rates and click data directly to your Claude Code terminal. Claude Code formats these Beehiiv stats as clean Markdown tables, saving you from navigating complex web dashboards. It's a much faster way to check your numbers. The agent runs `list_posts` to find your most recent Beehiiv emails. Comparing these metrics side-by-side in your Claude Code terminal helps you quickly identify which topics resonated with your audience.

Inspect publications and automation pipelines

The `list_publications` tool returns your active Beehiiv newsletter channel metadata to your shell. This MCP connection lets Claude Code check your environment variables before running Beehiiv deployment scripts. The agent calls `list_automations` to check your active Beehiiv email journeys. It outputs the sequence of your conditional subscriber paths directly to your Claude Code terminal screen for rapid debugging.
