Details

From the project README

MCP Kit Server

Architecture

npm version CI License: MIT MCP Status: Deprecated

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants like Claude to the Kit.com (formerly ConvertKit) email marketing platform. Manage your email lists, subscribers, broadcasts, sequences, and more through natural language.

Warning

This project is deprecated and no longer maintained. Kit now ships official, first-party MCP servers that supersede it with broader API coverage and managed authentication. Please migrate — see below.

⚠️ Deprecated — use Kit's official MCP servers

This community server was built before Kit offered its own MCP. Kit now maintains official servers that cover far more of the Kit API v4 surface (including analytics, commerce, segments, and bulk operations), handle auth for you, and stay current with API changes. New and existing users should migrate.

Troubleshooting

"KIT_API_KEY environment variable is required"

Ensure you have set the KIT_API_KEY environment variable in your MCP configuration.

"Kit API error (401)"

Your API key is invalid or expired. Generate a new one from Kit.com Settings > Developer.

"Kit API error (403)"

Your API key doesn't have permission for this operation. Check that you're using a v4 API key with appropriate scopes.

"Kit API error (404)"

The resource (subscriber, tag, broadcast, etc.) was not found. Verify the ID is correct.

"Kit API error (422)"

Invalid request data. Check that email addresses are valid and required fields are provided.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
