Connecting to AutoSend MCP
AutoSend MCP uses a streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.0 authentication. When you add the server to your MCP client, the client handles the OAuth authorization flow automatically. You just need to log in to your AutoSend account when prompted. Choose your AI client to get started:

Authentication
AutoSend MCP uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your account. You don’t need to manage any API keys or tokens yourself. Your MCP client handles everything automatically. When you first connect, you’ll be redirected to AutoSend to log in and authorize the connection. Once authorized, your client stores the credentials and refreshes them as needed. Each connection is scoped to a single AutoSend project, so your data stays isolated and secure.Available Tools

Important Notes
All campaigns created through MCP are saved as drafts. You must publish or send them from the
AutoSend dashboard. This is a safety measure to prevent accidental sends.
- Template variables - Use Handlebars syntax (
{{variableName}}) for dynamic content. Variable names must start with a letter and can include letters, numbers, and underscores. - Character limits - Campaign name: 200 characters, subject line: 988 characters, preview text: 140 characters.
- Email HTML - The MCP server’s guided workflows generate email-safe HTML using table-based layouts, inline CSS, and responsive design patterns that work across all major email clients.
- Scoped access - Each MCP connection is scoped to a single AutoSend project and organization. The server cannot access data from other projects.
