Perplexity

Programmatically add leads inside Cursor

The `add_leads` tool integrates directly with your scrapers to push prospects into active campaigns. You can write scripts that feed new leads straight into your sequences as soon as they are found. To prevent duplicates, have Cursor run `list_leads` first. This keeps your sequence data clean and prevents spam complaints.

Debug campaign performance directly in your code editor

The `get_campaign_analytics` tool pulls live performance data straight into your coding editor. You can inspect open rates and bounce metrics right next to your email templates. If the metrics show a sudden drop, you can run `pause_campaign` to stop sending. This helps you fix broken links or copy issues before wasting your daily email limits.

Manage sending accounts using Cursor

This MCP Server displays all your connected sending profiles so you can manage limits. Running `list_accounts` gives you a quick overview of your domain health. Combine this with `get_account_stats` to check active bounce rates. Cursor can then help you write load-balancing scripts to spread the volume across healthy inboxes.
