Mail Mint ships with a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects your email marketing plugin to AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex. Once it’s set up, your AI agent can read your contacts, create campaigns, enroll contacts into automations, pull analytics, and more — all through an ordinary conversation.
You can think of MCP as a bridge between your AI client and Mail Mint. Instead of navigating menus and filling out forms, the AI calls the same actions you would, but through a secure, authenticated endpoint on your own WordPress site. You stay in control: every action is authorized by a WordPress Application Password you generate yourself, and you can revoke that access at any time.
Open the MCP Settings
From your WordPress admin, go to Mail Mint → Settings → MCP for AI Agents. Everything you need lives on this one page: the on/off toggle, your endpoint URL, and the ready-to-paste connection snippet for your preferred AI client.
Step 1: Enable MCP for AI Agents
Switch on the Enable MCP for AI Agents toggle at the top of the page. When enabled, Mail Mint exposes its tools through a secure REST endpoint so AI agents can read and write your email marketing data with your authorization.
If you ever want to pause access for every connected AI client at once, flip this toggle off. The endpoint stops responding to MCP requests immediately — no other changes needed.
Step 2: Generate a WordPress Application Password
Mail Mint generates an Application Password for you directly on the MCP settings page — no need to go to your WordPress profile. AI clients use this password to authenticate with your site, and it gets embedded automatically into the connection snippet below.
Under the Application Password section:
- Enter an optional Label to identify the connection — for example,
Cursor on laptoporClaude Desktop. Leave it blank and Mail Mint will use"Mail Mint"as the default label. - Click Generate password. Mail Mint creates the password and embeds it into the connection snippet automatically.
Once generated, your existing passwords are listed under Manage existing application passwords — showing the name, date created, last used, and a Revoke button for each one.
If you already have an Application Password from a previous setup, click I already have an application password to skip generation and enter it manually.
