Connect Mailchimp MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mailchimp 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.
Build campaigns inside Windsurf
Cascade reads your project updates and strings together the exact Mailchimp sequence you need. It runs `list_audiences` to grab your primary list ID, then hits `create_campaign` to draft an email matching your recent commits. You don't have to prompt it for every step. The agent pulls merge fields using `get_audience`, formats the HTML payload, and stages the draft directly on the server.
Autonomous subscriber management
Hook up a new signup form in your codebase and test the backend logic immediately. Cascade executes `add_member` to push a test contact, setting the status to pending or subscribed depending on your double-opt-in rules. It verifies the insertion by calling `search_members` to check the tags. If the contact didn't sync properly, the agent reads the error response and rewrites your API call automatically.
Track performance via MCP Server
Stop opening browser tabs to check how your launch email performed. Ask Cascade for the metrics, and it fires `get_report` to pull open rates and click stats right into your editor. If you need to see who bounced, it chains `list_campaigns` to find the ID and `list_members` to filter the audience. You get raw data in your workspace while you keep coding.
