Dispatching Emails with MCP Server

You can dispatch an email through the `dispatch_email` tool. Just remember to use a verified sender identity for the 'from_email' field. This function sends actual HTML emails using SendGrid’s SMTP relay. It makes sure your message gets out when you need it.

Managing Marketing Contacts

Need to know who exists? Use `search_contact_by_email` to pull a full profile for any marketing contact, including custom fields and segment membership. Alternatively, you can list all available contacts using `list_marketing_contacts`. This helps your agent build out lists before sending anything.

Auditing Email Deliverability

To keep your lists clean, the MCP Server provides tools like `list_bounces` and `list_global_unsubscribes`. These actions are crucial for list hygiene. Also get a global view of performance using `get_delivery_stats`, remembering to format the date as YYYY-MM-DD.
