How to Use the SmartLead MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I use SmartLead with Claude Code for scheduled tasks?

You can write a shell script that calls listcampaigns and then executes specific tools like getcampaignanalytics. You schedule this whole sequence using cron jobs.

Q: Can I script a full outreach sequence using SmartLead in Claude Code?

Yes. Your script can first use listemailaccounts to check capacity, then call addlead, and finally execute the campaign start commands.

Q: If I need a list of accounts for auditing, how do I handle it with SmartLead and Claude Code?

Running listemailaccounts exposes your entire sender pool. The output is plain text or JSON, perfect for piping into an audit log.

Run complex SmartLead workflows headless using Claude Code in your terminal.

Automate lead ingestion from the command line.

Running `add_lead` via the MCP Server allows you to script mass lead population. You can pipe a list of emails into this function, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines where batch processing is key. It's designed for non-GUI environments. Your shell script doesn't need to worry about authentication or complex UI interactions; it just needs the endpoint token.

Check campaign status and pull analytics via CLI.

Use `get_campaign_analytics` directly in your terminal session. You can pipe the JSON output to other shell tools (like `jq`) to filter for specific metrics, such as open rates or click-through totals. This lets you build monitoring scripts that check SmartLead performance without opening a browser.

Manage campaign lifecycles through scripting.

Want to temporarily halt outreach? Running `pause_campaign` is straightforward via the CLI. You can incorporate this into a nightly job that pauses campaigns during maintenance windows. Similarly, you run `resume_campaign` when the system comes back online. It treats campaign state changes like any other executable command.
