What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an emerging standard that allows AI models to interact with applications through a consistent interface. It acts as an abstraction layer over HTTP, letting AI agents access application functionality without needing to understand specific API protocols.

Beta Notice

The ActiveCampaign MCP Server is currently in beta. Features and functionality may change as we continue to improve the integration.
