Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
retainful_list_contactsList contacts (profiles) in the Retainful organization, one page at a time, with consent status and source. Retainful API: GET /customer.
retainful_get_contactGet one contact (profile) by its Retainful id (contactUUID), with its attributes. Retainful API: GET /customer/{id}.
retainful_list_listsList the lists and segments in the organization with their ids. Use the id as list_id in retainful_add_contact_to_list. Retainful API: GET /contact-groups.
retainful_get_listGet one list or segment by its id. Retainful API: GET /contact-groups/{id}.
retainful_upsert_contactWRITE: create a contact, or update it when the email or phone already exists. Does not add anyone to a list. email_opt_in is required: it sets marketing consent, so send SUBSCRIBED only with real consent. Needs email or phone. Retainful API: POST /customer/create.
retainful_add_contact_to_listWRITE: create or update a contact by email and add them to a list in one call. A list can start an automation. email_opt_in is required: an existing contact is set to SUBSCRIBED when it is omitted here. Retainful API: POST /contact-groups/{listId}/contacts.
retainful_track_eventWRITE: record one event on a contact's timeline. Automations triggered by the event can email the contact. Reuse the same unique_identifier only for a retry of the same real occurrence (a repeat does not trigger automations again); use a new one for each new occurrence. Event dat

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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.

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 Retainful credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/retainful/
On first connect you provide your Retainful API key, created in Retainful under Integrations → your app → Create API key. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
