About Loops MCP Server
Loops is a modern email marketing and transactional email platform designed for startups and growing businesses. It provides powerful automation for email journeys, audience segmentation, contact management, and detailed analytics. This MCP server enables AI agents to manage contacts, mailing lists, trigger events for automated journeys, send transactional emails, and check suppression statuses — all through natural language commands.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Loops tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
Key capabilities:
- Search, create, update, and delete contacts
- Manage mailing lists
- Trigger email journeys with events
- Send transactional emails programmatically
- Check email suppression status
- View sent transactional email history
The Loops MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
