Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only access to an Emma email marketing account: audiences, groups, members, mailings and campaign response metrics.

What you can do
  • List and inspect groups, members and custom fields, including lookups by email and a member's group memberships
  • Review mailings with content, recipients, schedule, status and per-member send history
  • Read campaign results: account-level monthly summaries, per-mailing responses, link clicks and member-level activity
  • List saved searches (dynamic segments) and the members currently matching them
  • Check bulk import status and results
  • Check usage quota, request a feature, or manage a Pro subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about an Emma audience or campaign performance, such as who is in which group, whether an address is subscribed, or how last month's mailings performed, without editing contacts or sending email.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint added by URL only; no API key or Authorization header in the client config. Sign-in uses OAuth, and the login page asks for your Emma account credentials. A free tier allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
The server reads your Emma audience data, including member email addresses and engagement history, and passes it through a third-party host. Subscription tools can start a paid Stripe checkout or cancel Pro; cancellation runs to the end of the paid period with no refund for the current period. The instructions also mention a feature-request tool that records a request.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Emma MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Femma/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
