Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Onboarding a new client

A sales rep can ask the agent to create a contact, add them to the 'New Clients' list, and apply the 'Tier 1' tag immediately.

02

Checking deal status

A manager needs to know which deals are stalled. They ask the agent to list all active deals and filter by stage.

03

Cleaning up lists

Marketing ops can ask the agent to check a contact's profile and ensure they are subscribed to the correct campaign list.

04

Researching a prospect

A customer success manager needs to know a prospect's history. They ask the agent to list the contact and review their associated deals.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

ActiveCampaign works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ActiveCampaign to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of ActiveCampaign, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with ActiveCampaign. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions ActiveCampaign owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP handle billing or payment information?

    No. This MCP focuses on contact management, deal tracking, and marketing automation. It allows you to read and write profile data, but it does not manage billing records.

  • 02

    Can I use this with my existing AI client?

    Yes. Since this is hosted in the Vinkius Catalog, you connect your preferred MCP-compatible client (like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf) once, and you get access to all the capabilities here.

  • 03

    What kind of data can I retrieve about a contact?

    You can retrieve basic contact details, check which lists they are subscribed to, and see if they have any active deals associated with their profile.

  • 04

    Is this only for marketing tasks?

    No. While it handles marketing lists and automations, it's equally useful for sales teams needing to track deals and update contact information.

  • 05

    How do I add a tag to a contact?

    Use the add_tag_to_contact capability and provide the contact ID and the tag ID. Your agent will associate the tag with that specific contact in ActiveCampaign.

  • 06

    What is the API rate limit for ActiveCampaign?

    ActiveCampaign enforces a standard limit of 5 requests per second per account. Exceeding this returns a 429 error code.

  • 07

    Should I use API version 1 or 3?

    While version 1 is still technically supported, we always recommend (and this agent defaults to) RESTful API version 3 for performance and stability.
