Emailchef MCP by usefulapi

Emailchef MCP by usefulapi

Use your Emailchef account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read lists, contacts, campaigns and their opens and clicks, and add contacts, draft, schedule and send campaigns, emails and SMS. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://emailchef.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://emailchef.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http emailchef https://emailchef.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "emailchef": {
      "url": "https://emailchef.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Emailchef credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/emailchef/

On first connect you provide the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret of an Emailchef API key (Emailchef → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key; only the account Owner can). The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.
