Perplexity

Execute headless subscriber lookups

Terminal-based messenger management starts with this MCP Server. Claude Code accepts a simple prompt and fires `find_subscriber_by_custom_field` to locate users matching your query. You get raw data dumped straight to your standard output. You can pipe that data into a quick script or have the agent check `get_subscriber_info`. It pulls the exact opt-in status and interaction timestamps you need to diagnose a blocked sequence.

Manage tags from the command line

This MCP Server processes tag modifications straight from your shell. A DevOps engineer can trigger a bulk update job right from their SSH session. The agent handles the `add_tag` and `remove_tag` API calls silently. To audit your current setup, Claude Code runs `list_tags` and `get_subscriber_tags`. It cross-references the active tags against your deployment configuration and highlights any discrepancies.

Trigger flows via Claude Code

This MCP Server allows you to kick off messenger sequences from a shell script. You just tell the agent which flow to launch, and it handles the payload construction and `send_flow` execution. It verifies the action by checking `get_subscriber_flows`. If you need to update a variable before sending, it chains `list_custom_fields` and `set_custom_field` to prep the user profile first.

Common questions about ManyChat MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http manychat-mcp -- ` in your terminal. Make sure all flags precede the server name. Verify the connection with `claude mcp list`.

Yes. The agent can run headless in a GitHub Action. It uses `list_tags` and `get_subscriber_tags` to validate that your production environment matches your expected state.

It reads the schema via `list_custom_fields` and updates records with `set_custom_field`. You can trigger this via a cron job to keep your messenger data synced with your backend.

You can ask the agent to find it. It will query the available flows, map the names, and then execute `send_flow` using the correct internal identifier.

Data like subscriber flow histories and custom field assignments never persists. The Vinkius infrastructure processes the API payloads in an ephemeral sandbox that vanishes the second the terminal command completes.
