Introducing the Listomo MCP Server: Bring Your Lists and Contacts Directly Into AI Tools

Managing your marketing lists shouldn’t mean constantly switching between dashboards and spreadsheets. With the new Listomo MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, you can now connect your Listomo data directly to modern AI assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop, and interact with your lists, contacts, and forms using natural language.

Let’s break down how it works and what you can do with it.


What the MCP Server Does

The MCP Server acts as a direct integration layer between your AI tools and Listomo’s core system, no API required. Once connected, your assistant can securely access and manage your data in real time, without any manual setup or middleware.

This means you can:

  • Create and manage lists without touching the dashboard.
  • Search and update contacts using plain English.
  • Review form submissions or broadcast details right from your editor or AI workspace.

Think of it as a command line for your marketing automation-except you’re talking to your assistant instead of typing commands.


Getting Started

Before connecting, you’ll need your MCP authentication token. Here’s how to get it:

  1. Log in to your Listomo account.
  2. Go to https://app.listomo.com/api_tokens.
  3. Create or copy an existing token.
  4. Keep it private, your token gives secure access to your data.

Once you have your token, the MCP server endpoint is:

https://mcp.listomo.com

You’ll use this in your configuration file (examples below) along with your authentication token in the Authorization header.


Available Tools

After connecting, you’ll gain access to a suite of MCP tools that interact directly with your Listomo data layer:

Account Management

  • list_accounts: Retrieve all accounts accessible to your token.

List Management

  • list_lists: View all lists with full metadata.
  • create_list: Instantly create new lists.
  • show_list: Fetch detailed list information.

Contact Management

  • list_contacts: View all contacts for a given list.
  • create_contact: Add new contacts (with optional double opt-in).
  • show_contact: Pull detailed info for a specific contact.
  • search_contacts: Filter by email, name, status, or date.

Form & Email Management

  • list_forms, show_form: Manage signup forms.
  • show_email, show_broadcast: Review campaigns and messages.

All operations are executed through the MCP protocol, ensuring direct, secure communication with Listomo’s internal systems, no separate API endpoints or middleware required.


Example Prompts You Can Use

Once configured, you can interact naturally with your assistant. For example:

"List all my accounts."
"Create a new list called 'Newsletter Subscribers'."
"Add [email protected] to my 'Webinar Leads' list."
"Show all contacts added in the last 7 days."
"What was the last email [email protected] opened?"

Your AI assistant communicates directly with Listomo through the MCP connection-instantly pulling live data and performing actions securely.


Configuration Examples

Below are quick setup examples for common environments:

Cursor

(.cursor/config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Listomo MCP": {
      "url": "https://mcp.listomo.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "listomo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.listomo.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

(~/.config/claude/mcp.json or %APPDATA%\claude\mcp.json)

{
  "servers": {
    "listomo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.listomo.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      },
      "description": "Connect to Listomo for list and contact management"
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your authentication token from the Listomo dashboard, then restart your environment.
