Mailchimp MCP connector
The Mailchimp connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client draft, schedule, send and pause Mailchimp campaigns through one governed Elaichi endpoint, acting as the signed-in person with every action recorded in an audit log.

-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
-
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Use cases
What teams do with Mailchimp through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Marketing
Draft next week's newsletter from a brief
Describe the offer and the audience, and the agent creates the Mailchimp campaign with the subject line and preview text filled in. Ask for a test send to yourself before anyone else sees it.
-
Marketing
Duplicate last month's campaign and reschedule it
Ask for a copy of the campaign that performed well, change the date, and have it scheduled for the new send time. The original stays untouched in Mailchimp.
-
Communications
Pull a campaign before it goes out wrong
Spot a broken link or a wrong price and ask the agent to pause, unschedule or cancel the Mailchimp send on the spot. Resume it once the fix is in.
-
Sales
Resend the launch email to people who missed it
After a product announcement, ask for a resend of the Mailchimp campaign so people who did not open it get a second chance without a rebuild.
-
Support
Find the email a customer is asking about
When a customer replies to a promotion, ask which Mailchimp campaign went out that day, what it said and when it was sent, so the answer is right the first time.
-
Operations
Keep campaigns and files in tidy folders
Ask the agent to move old Mailchimp campaigns into a quarterly folder, upload the new logo and header images, and list what is sitting in the file manager.
Try asking
- “List Mailchimp campaigns scheduled to send this week.”
- “Which audience lists grew subscribers over the last month?”
- “Summarize open and click rates for last week's campaigns.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Mailchimp to Claude?
First, connect Mailchimp in Elaichi. Mailchimp asks for an OAuth application registered inside your Mailchimp account, so one person creates it there once and brings the client ID and secret into Elaichi, then signs in to Mailchimp with their normal login and approves access. After that, nobody else on the team generates or handles a client ID or secret again. Second, open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint.
Does Mailchimp work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Mailchimp is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Mailchimp once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Mailchimp data?
An agent connected to Mailchimp through Elaichi can list your campaigns, open one to see what it said and when it went out, draft a new campaign, send a test, schedule or unschedule it, pause and resume it, cancel a send, set up a resend, and duplicate a campaign you want to run again. It can also organize campaigns into folders and upload or update files like images and headers. Because Mailchimp has hundreds of actions, short concrete asks like "pause the Friday newsletter" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Mailchimp give the AI access to my whole account?
No. Every request runs as the person who signed in to Mailchimp, so the agent can only see and change the campaigns, folders and files that person's Mailchimp role already allows. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to viewing and drafting only, but it can never grant more than Mailchimp itself would give that person.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Mailchimp?
Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict actions one by one, so you could allow listing and drafting Mailchimp campaigns while blocking send, delete and cancel. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Mailchimp connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Mailchimp through every connected client ends at once. If they had connected Mailchimp for a team, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else. If you want Mailchimp gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
