Manage contacts inside Cursor

The Cursor agent can now read and write to your mailing lists during your coding sessions. Use `add_contact_to_list` to sync new users while you build your registration logic. You can keep your data clean by calling `remove_contact_from_list` directly from your editor. It is perfect for testing subscriber flows without leaving your IDE.

Query campaigns via Cursor

Feed live campaign metrics into your documentation or internal tools. The agent uses `list_email_campaigns` to find the right ID, then pulls stats with `get_campaign_summary_report`. This makes it easy to compare current campaign performance against your historical data. You get real numbers right inside your terminal or chat window.

Automate flows with this MCP Server

Connect your backend logic to your email engine. By calling `trigger_automation_for_contact`, your code can initiate complex sequences whenever a user hits a specific milestone. You can also verify list configurations using `get_list_details`. It ensures your logic points to the right subscriber segments every single time.
