Connect an AI assistant (MCP)
2 min read · Updated
Sendtim runs a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect it to your AI assistant and ask for what you need: “show me contacts created this week”, “which campaign had the best click rate this month?”. The assistant acts as you, sees only the workspaces you belong to, and can do only what your role allows.
Server URL
https://sendtim.com/api/mcpAdd it as a remote Streamable HTTP server. The first time you connect, a browser window opens so you can sign in to Sendtim and approve access.
Claude (desktop and claude.ai)
- Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Sendtim, paste the server URL, and select Connect.
- Sign in to Sendtim in the window that opens and approve access.
Then ask “Which Sendtim workspaces am I a part of?” to check the connection.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user sendtim https://sendtim.com/api/mcpRun /mcp, choose sendtim, and sign in through your browser.
A client that cannot sign in through the browser can use a workspace API key from Settings → API instead, sent as an Authorization: Bearer header.
What it can do
| Area | Operations |
|---|---|
| Contacts | Search, view activity, create, update, suppress, delete. |
| Lists and segments | Create, edit, preview how many contacts a rule matches, manage members. |
| Campaigns | Create, edit, send a test, schedule, send, pause, resume, cancel, read reports. |
| Automations | Create, edit triggers and steps, activate or pause, enroll a contact, read performance. |
| Templates | List, view, create, update, duplicate, delete. |
| Forms | List with conversion rates, read submissions. |
| Analytics | Workspace overview, audience growth, engagement, top campaigns. |
Safety
- Anything that emails people, schedules a send, activates an automation or deletes data comes back as a preview first. Your assistant has to show it to you and get your go-ahead before it runs.
- Sending a campaign needs the admin role, exactly as in the dashboard.
- Every change is recorded in the workspace audit log, marked as made through MCP.
- Removing someone from a workspace ends their assistant’s access to it immediately.
Workspace settings, billing, imports and AI generation stay in the dashboard.
