Connect Your Agent

The ArtMail MCP server lets AI agents send emails, manage contacts, create campaigns, and check analytics through your ArtMail account. It works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol.

What you get

Once connected, your agent can:

• Send transactional emails or use templates
• Search, create, and update contacts
• Create campaign drafts and check performance stats
• Browse templates and automations

All through natural language. Example: "Send a welcome email to jane@example.com using the welcome-email template" or "Show me the open rate for last week's campaign".
