What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
emma_list_groupsList the member groups (audience lists) of the Emma account with their active, opted-out and error member counts. Defaults to normal groups; group_types can add test and hidden groups.
emma_get_groupGet one member group with its member counts (active, opted-out, error).
emma_list_group_membersList the members of one group (email, status, custom fields). Paged: use next_start for more.
emma_list_membersList the members (contacts) of the whole audience: id, email, status (a active, o opted out, e error), custom fields, bounce count. Paged: use next_start for more. With count_only the reply is just the number of members.
emma_get_memberGet one member by id, with all custom fields, status, SMS status and bounce count.
emma_find_member_by_emailFind one member by email address, with all custom fields and status. A 404 means the address is not in the audience.

Common questions
Is Emma MCP by usefulapi safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.9.5) reached the registry 2 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?
