What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
icontact_get_accountThe iContact account behind the credentials (company name, address, plan fields) and its client folders, with the folder this server uses. GET /a/ and GET /a/{accountId}/c/.
icontact_list_contactsList contacts (email, name, address, phone, status, create date). Filter by status, exact email, first/last name or a list the contact belongs to. GET /contacts.
icontact_get_contactOne contact by id. GET /contacts/{contactId}.
icontact_create_contactWRITE: add one contact to the account (it is not added to any list; use icontact_set_subscription for that). Not idempotent: an email that already exists is reported by iContact as a warning. POST /contacts.
icontact_update_contactWRITE: change fields of one contact; only the fields you pass are sent. Setting status to donotcontact or deleted stops mail to that contact. POST /contacts/{contactId}.
icontact_list_listsList the account's mailing lists (name, description, welcome-message settings). GET /lists.
icontact_get_listOne mailing list by id. GET /lists/{listId}.
icontact_list_subscriptionsList list memberships (subscriptionId, contactId, listId, status). Filter by list, contact or status. GET /subscriptions.
icontact_set_subscriptionWRITE: put a contact on a list (status normal, or pending to start double opt-in) or unsubscribe it (status unsubscribed). Only for contacts who agreed to receive mail. POST /subscriptions.
icontact_list_campaignsList campaigns (the sender identity and settings that messages belong to). GET /campaigns.
icontact_get_campaignOne campaign by id. GET /campaigns/{campaignId}.
icontact_list_messagesList messages (subject, type, campaign, create date, HTML and text bodies). Filter by type or campaign. GET /messages.
icontact_get_messageOne message by id, with subject and HTML/text bodies. GET /messages/{messageId}.
icontact_get_message_statisticsDelivery statistics of a message (released, bounces, opens, clicks, unsubscribes, complaints, forwards). GET /messages/{messageId}/statistics.
icontact_list_message_activityWho opened, clicked, bounced from or unsubscribed after a message: one page of events for one message. GET /messages/{messageId}/opens | clicks | bounces | unsubscribes.
icontact_list_sendsList sends (a message sent to lists/segments: send id, message id, included/excluded lists, scheduled time, status). GET /sends.
icontact_get_sendOne send by id. GET /sends/{sendId}.
icontact_list_segmentsList saved segments (rule-based groups of contacts). GET /segments.
icontact_get_segmentOne segment by id. GET /segments/{segmentId}.
icontact_list_custom_fieldsList the account's custom contact fields (name, type). GET /customfields.

Common questions
Is iContact 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 (1.15.5) reached the registry today.
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?

iContact MCP by usefulapi
Use iContact from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — work with your contacts, lists, messages and reports. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own iContact credentials.
Live endpoint: https://icontact.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/icontact
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://icontact.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http icontact https://icontact.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": { "icontact": { "url": "https://icontact.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your iContact credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/icontact/
On first connect you'll enter your iContact application id, username and API password (iContact's API Developer Portal). They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
