What it does

listmonk-mcp-bridge lets MCP clients work with the Listmonk API through typed tools for subscribers, lists, campaigns, templates, media, analytics, imports, bounces and transactional messages.

It includes runtime confirmations for destructive actions, real email sends and sensitive reads.

LLM-friendly helper tools

This MCP remains a generic Listmonk domain MCP. It does not orchestrate external systems, call other MCP servers, or hardcode external workflows.

The helper tools are built on top of the existing Listmonk API wrappers. They give LLM agents safer primitives for subscriber profile sync, audience inspection, personalization validation, campaign risk checks, guarded sends, generic exports and audit logs.

Recommended helper tools for agents:

• upsert_subscriber_profiles
• get_subscriber_context
• audience_summary
• personalization_fields_report
• validate_message_personalization
• campaign_risk_check
• safe_send_campaign
• safe_schedule_campaign
• safe_send_transactional_email
• campaign_performance_summary
• export_engagement_events
• export_campaign_markdown
• export_campaign_postmortem_markdown
• export_subscriber_communication_summary

Example profile sync dry run:

{
  "profiles": [
    {
      "externalId": "abc-123",
      "source": "external-system",
      "email": "[e-mail]",
      "name": "Jane Doe",
      "attributes": {
        "birthday": "1990-05-10",
        "customer_type": "vip"
      },
      "tags": ["vip"],
      "listIds": [1, 2],
      "status": "enabled"
    }
  ],
  "dryRun": true
}

Example personalization and send checks:

{
  "email": "[e-mail]"
}

{
  "listIds": [1, 2],
  "filters": {}
}

{
  "subject": "Hello {{name}}",
  "body": "We have an update for {{customer_type}} subscribers.",
  "listIds": [1],
  "sampleSubscriberIds": [123, 456]
}

{
  "campaignId": 123,
  "requireTestSend": true,
  "maxAudienceSize": 5000
}

{
  "campaignId": 123,
  "confirmSend": true,
  "approval": {
    "required": true,
    "status": "approved",
    "approvalId": "approval-123"
  },
  "requireTestSend": true,
  "testRecipients": ["[e-mail]"]
}

{
  "templateId": 10,
  "recipientEmail": "[e-mail]",
  "subject": "A message for you",
  "data": {
    "name": "Jane"
  },
  "contentType": "html",
  "confirmSend": true,
  "idempotencyKey": "unique-event-key-123"
}

Example generic exports:

{
  "campaignId": 123,
  "fromDate": "2026-04-01",
  "toDate": "2026-04-30"
}

{
  "campaignId": 123,
  "eventTypes": ["email_viewed", "email_clicked"]
}

{
  "campaignId": 123,
  "includeBody": true,
  "includeStats": true
}

{
  "subscriberId": 123,
  "fromDate": "2026-01-01",
  "toDate": "2026-04-30"
}
