How to Use the Mailchimp MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I configure this MCP Server for my CrewAI agents?

Pass the endpoint URL directly into the mcps array when defining your agent. If you want strict access control, use MCPServerHTTP and apply a toolfilter to restrict which agent gets which operations.

Q: Can a CrewAI agent find specific Mailchimp contacts?

Yes, they can. The searchmembers tool locates users by name or email across your entire account. Your support agents can look up a customer's subscription status in seconds.

Q: Will CrewAI send Mailchimp emails without asking me?

Only if you allow it. The sendcampaign tool executes live sends. You should configure your execution flow to require human approval before the final agent pulls the trigger.

Q: How does CrewAI handle Mailchimp reporting?

Your agents use listcampaigns to find recent ID numbers, then run getreport to fetch the performance metrics. They can write these findings into a text file or pipe them to another system.

Analyze Mailchimp stats with CrewAI

`get_audience` and `list_audiences` feed raw list statistics directly from the MCP Server to your research agents. A dedicated analyst persona can pull member counts, open rates, and click metrics across all your lists. They digest the numbers and pass a summary to the rest of the crew. Your team doesn't need to guess which segments are active. By running `list_members`, the analyst can extract specific email addresses and tags. This shared memory allows the next agent to target the right people automatically.

Draft emails with specialized agents

`create_campaign` gives your copywriter agent the ability to build actual marketing assets. Once the researcher identifies a target audience, the copywriter drafts the subject line and body copy. The MCP Server executes the creation and returns a campaign ID. A separate manager agent can then use `get_campaign` to review the draft. This hierarchical setup ensures that the content meets your formatting standards before it ever hits the outbox.

Control live sends with moderator agents

`send_campaign` is a high-risk operation that triggers an immediate email blast. You can assign this specific tool exclusively to a senior moderator agent. The rest of the crew handles the drafting, but only the moderator holds the keys to the actual send. After the blast goes out, a reporting agent takes over. They call `get_report` to monitor the open rates and click performance. The team adjusts their strategy for the next run based on hard data.

Setup guide

Set up Mailchimp MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Mailchimp tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Mailchimp Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Mailchimp data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Mailchimp access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Mailchimp transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Mailchimp Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Mailchimp data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Mailchimp access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Mailchimp transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
