Common questions

Is Listmonk MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: LISTMONK_MCP_URL, LISTMONK_MCP_USERNAME, LISTMONK_MCP_PASSWORD

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 11 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Listmonk MCP Server

An MCP server for Listmonk, the self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager. It lets AI agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VS Code and others) manage subscribers, mailing lists, campaigns, templates and media, and send transactional email through your Listmonk instance.

TypeScript port of rhnvrm/listmonk-mcp by Rohan Verma, extended with file-based templates, campaign body editing and hardened file access.

Written in TypeScript, runs on Bun.

Русская версия

Features

Subscribers: add, update, delete, change status, search with Listmonk SQL queries, look up by ID or email.
Mailing lists: create, update, delete, list, list members.
Campaigns: create, update, preview, send now, schedule. Edit the body with plain-text, regex and batch replace.
Templates: create, update, delete, read. Large HTML bodies (for example MJML exports) can be loaded straight from a file.
Transactional email: send a tx template to one recipient with custom data.
Media: upload, rename, delete, list.

Requirements

Bun 1.1 or newer.
Listmonk with an API user. In the Listmonk admin, open *Users*, create a user of type *API* and copy its token. Give it a role with only the permissions the agent needs.

Quick start

One-click install (then replace the placeholder URL, user and token in the client's MCP settings):

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user \

--env LISTMONK_MCP_URL=https://listmonk.example.com \ --env LISTMONK_MCP_USERNAME=api_user \ --env LISTMONK_MCP_PASSWORD=your-api-token \ listmonk -- bunx listmonk-mcp-ts

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline and other clients

Add the server to the client's MCP config (mcpServers section):

"mcpServers": { "listmonk": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["listmonk-mcp-ts"], "env": { "LISTMONK_MCP_URL": "https://listmonk.example.com", "LISTMONK_MCP_USERNAME": "api_user", "LISTMONK_MCP_PASSWORD": "your-api-token", "LISTMONK_MCP_FILES_DIR": "/path/to/email-templates" } } } }

Where the config file lives for each client: Claude Desktop, Cursor and Windsurf, Cline, VS Code.

The server is started by the client when a session opens and stops with it. You do not need to keep it running.

Configuration

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`LISTMONK_MCP_URL`	yes		Listmonk base URL, `http://` or `https://`
`LISTMONK_MCP_USERNAME`	yes		API user name
`LISTMONK_MCP_PASSWORD`	yes		API user token
`LISTMONK_MCP_FILES_DIR`	no		Directory the file tools may read from. File tools are disabled when it is not set
`LISTMONK_MCP_TIMEOUT`	no	`30`	HTTP timeout, seconds
`LISTMONK_MCP_MAX_RETRIES`	no	`3`	Retries on network errors. Only GET requests are retried
`LISTMONK_MCP_SERVER_NAME`	no	`Listmonk MCP Server`	Server name reported to the client

Variables can also come from a .env file in the working directory, or from a file passed with --config /path/to/.env.

CLI options: -c, --config loads an env file, -v, --version prints the version.

Transactional	`send_transactional_email`
Media	`get_media_list`, `upload_media_file`, `rename_media`, `delete_media_file`

Templates from a file

Passing a large HTML body inline through a tool call is slow and the model can change it while copying. create_template_from_file and update_template_from_file read the body from a file instead, so the stored template matches the file byte for byte. subject is required for tx templates.

The file path can be absolute or relative to LISTMONK_MCP_FILES_DIR.

Security

File access is limited to `LISTMONK_MCP_FILES_DIR`. create_template_from_file, update_template_from_file and upload_media_file refuse any path outside it, symlinks included, and are disabled when it is not set. Subscriber names, campaign bodies and other data read from Listmonk may contain instructions written by strangers (prompt injection). Without this limit such text could make the agent read ~/.ssh or .env and email it out.
Keep approval on for sending tools. send_campaign, schedule_campaign and send_transactional_email send real email. Do not auto-approve them in your client.
Use a dedicated API user with a role limited to what the agent needs, not an admin account.
Keep the token out of shared files. If your MCP config is committed or synced, pass the token through the environment instead.

Development

git clone https://github.com/tecspda/listmonk-mcp-ts.git

cd listmonk-mcp-ts bun install cp .env.example .env # fill in your Listmonk details bun run start # run the server bun run dev # run with reload on change bun run check # type check bun test # tests

To run a local checkout from an MCP client, use "command": "bun", "args": ["run", "/path/to/listmonk-mcp-ts/src/index.ts"].
