Details
The author wanted to manage Mailchimp campaigns directly from AI assistants like Claude without having to copy-paste data between tabs. Existing MCP servers for Mailchimp were either read-only, incomplete, or abandoned weekend projects. So the author built a comprehensive MCP server with 33 tools covering the full Mailchimp API, including campaigns, audiences, members, segments, templates, automations, and reports. This allows AI assistants to perform actions like creating, sending, and scheduling campaigns, as well as retrieving detailed performance reports, all in a single interaction. The author also addressed technical challenges like the Mailchimp subscriber hash issue and implemented a safe upsert functionality for member management.
