The MCP server of SmartChat.
With the MCP server, your AI assistant operates SmartChat. You sign in with OAuth and decide what it's allowed to do.
From the address to the automation.
The MCP server is built on the SmartChat API. You'll find individual guides for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

A date in the calendar triggers the reminder.
The contact writes the word, and the reply follows right away.
Anyone who hasn't written in a long time gets an invitation.

Frequently asked questions about the SmartChat MCP server.
What is the SmartChat MCP server?
It's the access point for AI assistants. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, a standard that lets an assistant operate other programs. In this case, it operates your SmartChat account.
How do I sign in?
With OAuth. SmartChat shows you a consent page where you confirm that the assistant may work in your account.
Who chooses the permissions?
You do. On the consent page, you decide what the assistant is allowed to do.
What can an assistant do in SmartChat?
Everything the app can do, except deleting and plan actions. The access is built on the API, which covers contacts, tags, messages, newsletters, automations, landing page (read) and statistics.
What stays blocked?
Deleting and anything to do with your plan, meaning upgrade, downgrade and cancellation. Neither works through the API either.
Are there limits?
No, there are no limits planned for the API and MCP. Your plan does decide how many automations you can create, though.
Do I need an API key?
Not for MCP access, it works with OAuth. Your own programs use the API with keys you create yourself in the settings. You can create several and delete them anytime.
Which assistants does this work with?
Is there documentation?
Yes, the API documentation is public. It's available in English and five other languages.
How many automations do I get?
Free and Starter have the fixed automation for new contacts. Basic has 3 automations, one of them fixed, and Pro can create as many as you like.
What does access cost?
Access is part of your plan: Free €0, Starter €299, Basic €499 and Pro €999 per month, each plus VAT. Sending costs no credits. You can find Meta's fees here.
How do the messages arrive?
Everything outside the inbox goes out as a template that Meta has reviewed and approved. SmartChat AI writes the template and submits it, then the automation runs.
What happens with STOP?
Anyone who writes STOP is unsubscribed right away. After that, they get neither newsletters nor automations.
