How to Use the MailboxPower MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the MailboxPower MCP Server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the MailboxPower MCP server configuration under mcpServers. Once saved, Cursor will load the tools, and you can invoke them in Agent mode.

Q: Can I use Cursor to test a MailboxPower shipment?

Yes, you can ask the Cursor agent to run sendshipment with a test payload. This executes a real API call to MailboxPower, letting you verify the order placement works from your editor.

Q: How does Cursor handle MailboxPower contact synchronization?

Cursor uses the createcontact and addcontacttogroup tools to insert and organize recipients. The agent can read physical address data from your local files and write it directly to MailboxPower.

Q: Can I list my active shipping automations inside the editor?

Yes. Ask the agent to run listautomations, and it will fetch your active drip sequences. You can use these IDs directly in your application code.

Trigger physical gift shipments and update CRM contacts directly from your Cursor codebase using Agent mode.

Execute physical shipping orders from the Cursor editor

The `send_shipment` tool allows the Cursor agent to place physical gift and card orders directly from your coding workspace. When you are writing backend triggers, the editor can test actual MailboxPower shipments to confirm your integration payload works. The agent uses `list_automations` to check which drip campaigns are live in your account. It can then programmatically trigger them by executing `add_contact_to_automation` in Cursor's Agent mode to test your application's lifecycle hooks.

Manage MailboxPower contacts with this MCP Server

The `create_contact` tool lets your Cursor agent insert new customer records into MailboxPower while you build your onboarding flows. Instead of writing mock data, the agent runs this tool to generate real test contacts using your live API keys. You can inspect existing entries by letting the agent call `get_contact` or `list_contacts`. This gives you immediate visibility into your mailing list schema right inside your code editor's chat panel.

Build and map mailing groups inside Cursor

The `create_group` tool gives Cursor the ability to establish new mailing segments directly from your local project files. When you load this MCP server, the agent reads a list of beta testers from a JSON file and creates the corresponding MailboxPower group. The agent can also run `add_contact_to_group` to sort those testers into their respective segments. It uses `list_groups` to verify the group IDs match your local environment variables perfectly.
