Mailtea Overview

The Mailtea MCP server connects an AI assistant to a Mailtea publication for email, newsletter, audience, automation, website, and account operations. It exposes 167 tools through Mailtea's hosted streamable HTTP endpoint and includes skills for email work, email design, and website design. Use it when an assistant should perform or draft Mailtea tasks conversationally rather than through application code. A Mailtea account is required, and sending requires a verified sending domain.

Primary Use Cases for Mailtea:
  • Send a first email after checking account and domain setup
  • Schedule and monitor a newsletter campaign
  • Manage contacts, segments, topics, and suppressions
  • Draft a reusable welcome-email template
