How to Use the Dotdigital MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline analyze my Dotdigital email campaigns for deliverability?

Yes, Cline can. The agent uses listemailcampaigns to pull your recent history and checks specific campaign metrics via getcampaigndetails to look for high bounce rates or low open rates.

Ask Cline to fetch your subscribers. It queries listmarketingaddressbooks to find your groups, then runs listaddressbookcontacts to download the specific contact records into a local file.

Q: Can I track automated customer journeys from Dotdigital inside Cline?

Build live marketing dashboards inside Cline

The `quick_marketing_health_audit` tool lets Cline fetch real-time stats to build live marketing dashboards. The agent uses this MCP Server to populate your UI with live campaign metrics. It integrates `get_dotdigital_account_metadata` to show your active send limits on the dashboard. This lets you build fully functional internal tools without writing boilerplate API integration code.

Automate address book cleanups

Run the `list_marketing_address_books` tool to pull subscriber lists directly into Cline for automated cleanups. The agent analyzes these records to find inactive accounts. It then runs local scripts to compare these records against your database. Cline uses `get_contact_profile` to verify individual bounce histories before recommending who to prune.

Sync email templates with local code

The `list_email_templates` tool lets Cline fetch your layout structures and sync them with your local repository. The agent writes these layouts directly to local HTML files. When you make changes, the agent can compare local code against active campaigns using `list_email_campaigns`. It flags differences so your developers and marketers stay on the same page.
