How to Use the EmailOctopus MCP in Windsurf
Stop digging through dashboards. Let Windsurf handle your EmailOctopus list data and campaign reports automatically.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect EmailOctopus MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect EmailOctopus to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate campaign reporting in Windsurf
Windsurf can pull live stats from your email blasts without you leaving the editor. By calling `get_campaign_performance_summary`, your agent generates a clear breakdown of open and click rates. Stop manually exporting CSVs. Cascade chains `list_successfully_sent_campaigns` and `get_campaign_details` to map out your outreach history in seconds.
Manage contact lists with Windsurf
Clean your data directly from your IDE using `list_list_contacts` and `search_contacts_by_email`. You identify stale entries or specific subscriber profiles without touching the web interface. Windsurf finds the contact, grabs their history via `get_contact_profile`, and presents it to you. It turns list maintenance from a chore into a background task.
Audit marketing volume with Windsurf
Run `quick_marketing_volume_audit` to see exactly how your lists are performing across the board. This MCP Server gives you the high-level view you need to make decisions. Windsurf reads the output and highlights trends in list growth. It saves you from digging through multiple tabs when you just need the numbers.
