Perplexity

Generate working code with live Maileon contact data

The `get_contact_by_email` tool lets Cursor query your live Maileon contact database to generate accurate data structures. Your editor writes functions based on actual JSON payloads instead of outdated API documentation. The `list_account_contacts` tool lets Cursor fetch your entire Maileon audience schema to build database sync scripts. It eliminates the guesswork when mapping custom fields to your local database tables.

Debug email dispatches in the Cursor terminal

The `dispatch_email_mailing` tool lets Cursor trigger test Maileon sends directly from your development environment. You can verify that custom transactional triggers function correctly without leaving your code editor. The `get_mailing_details` tool lets Cursor inspect Maileon campaign configurations without opening a browser. It speeds up debugging by showing you subject lines and sender names right next to your code.

Build custom unsubscribe handlers via MCP Server

The `list_unsubscription_events` tool lets Cursor build local webhooks that handle Maileon opt-outs automatically. You can write your integration code while inspecting real-time unsubscription logs. The `delete_account_contact` tool lets Cursor test your Maileon list-cleaning logic directly inside the editor. This ensures your automated cleanup scripts work perfectly before pushing them to production.

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
