Write code using live BigMailer brand properties in Cursor

This MCP Server uses `get_brand_properties` and `list_brands` to feed your actual database schema directly into the Cursor composer. Instead of guessing custom field names or writing mock objects, your editor pulls the exact properties you set up in your dashboard. Cursor uses this real-time data to generate accurate API integration code that works on the first run. You won't have to keep switching back to a browser to check if your custom fields are strings or numbers.

Code list subscription handlers with live feedback

The toolset exposes `list_contact_lists` and `get_contact_list` to let your editor see how your subscriber lists are structured. This means you can write and test your signup forms against your actual marketing lists. When you need to test contact creation, the editor uses `add_contact` to verify that your subscription logic puts users in the right place. It makes debugging your backend signup flows incredibly fast.

Build custom dashboards using actual campaign data

This server uses `list_bulk_campaigns` and `get_bulk_campaign` to retrieve real performance metrics straight into your workspace. You can have Cursor write reporting scripts or internal dashboards using your actual newsletter stats. By using `list_templates` alongside this MCP Server, you can build custom preview tools that render your saved templates directly in your local dev environment.
