Install in 30 seconds

1. Get your API key (or sign up)

Grab your key from run.salesblink.io/account/integration/api, or use the salesblink_signup tool to get the public sign-up link.

2. Install the skill

Recommended: let your agent install it (copy-paste prompt)

Paste this into your AI agent and it will set everything up for you:

Set up the SalesBlink Cold Email agent skill from https://github.com/open-salesblink/skill
for me. Read the README and SKILL.md in that repo, then install the skill in this
environment using the method that fits you best.

Ask me for my SalesBlink API key (from
https://run.salesblink.io/account/integration/api), or use the salesblink_signup
tool to get the sign-up link if I don't have an account yet. Configure the API key
as SALESBLINK_API_KEY. Verify the setup works, then help me launch my first cold
email sequence: ask what product I'm selling and who I'm targeting, create the
list, contacts, templates, and sequence, and walk me through launching it.

Claude Desktop / MCP Bundle (.mcpb)

⬇ Download cold-email-salesblink.mcpb — one-click install of this skill in MCPB-compatible hosts (e.g. Claude for macOS/Windows). Open the downloaded file and enter your SALESBLINK_API_KEY when prompted.

The bundle runs a local Node.js MCP server with hardened gateway tools plus the full bundled API reference. Source lives in mcpb/cold-email-salesblink/. To build it yourself instead of downloading:

cd mcpb/cold-email-salesblink
npm install --omit=dev
npm test                            # protocol smoke test (no API key needed)
npx @anthropic-ai/mcpb pack .       # produces cold-email-salesblink.mcpb

See mcpb/cold-email-salesblink/README.md for tools, configuration, and security details.

Note: All platforms above require the same SALESBLINK_API_KEY environment variable shown in Step 3.

API Quick Reference

Base URL

https://run.salesblink.io/api/public/v1.0.0

Authentication Pass your API key in the Authorization header with no "Bearer" prefix:

Authorization: key-****

Pagination

• Most list endpoints: limit (max 100) and skip
• Activity endpoints (/sent, /opens, /clicks, /replies): per_page (max 100) and page (1-indexed)

Always paginate — never assume a single request returns all data.

Error Handling

Status	Meaning	Action
200	Success	Check success field
400	Bad request	Re-check payload structure against the reference file
401	Unauthorized	Verify API key
403	Forbidden	Insufficient permissions (role too low)
404	Not found	Verify the ID / endpoint
409	Conflict	Resource already exists or connection failed
429	Rate limited	Wait 60s, then retry
500	Server error	Retry once after 10s

Quick Start: End-to-End Campaign

1. Create a list → POST /lists
2. Add contacts → POST /contacts (batch up to 500, snake_case fields)
3. Create templates → POST /templates (merge vars like {{first_name}})
4. Fetch senders → GET /senders
5. Create sequence → POST /sequences (steps: email → delay → email …)
6. Launch → PATCH /sequences/:id with paused: false & launchTimingMode: "now"
