Index campaign performance with LlamaIndex

The `get_campaign_performance` tool retrieves live metrics that your LlamaIndex pipeline can index into a vector store. This allows your agent to answer complex questions about your marketing performance using actual, real-time data instead of relying on outdated static reports. By querying this index, you can ask your agent which campaigns are performing best and get answers grounded in your actual Customer.io metrics. This MCP Server turns raw campaign logs into searchable knowledge.

Query customer profiles and segments directly

The `get_customer_details` tool pulls specific user profiles so your LlamaIndex agent can ground its answers in real user history. Combined with `list_customers` and `list_segment_members`, your RAG pipeline can quickly find which users belong to which segments. This setup means you don't have to sync databases or build custom data pipelines just to ask questions about your user base. Your agent queries the live API, indexes the text, and serves up accurate profile details.

Analyze newsletters and broadcast history

The `list_newsletters` tool lets your agent fetch your entire library of saved newsletters to compare past messaging strategies. With `list_scheduled_broadcasts`, your LlamaIndex pipeline can also index upcoming communications to keep your team aligned on what is going out when. This MCP Server makes your communication archive fully searchable and actionable. You can then run semantic queries to find similar newsletters you sent in the past or check for scheduling conflicts.
