# Mautic MCP Server
A lightweight [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that connects **Claude AI** to your **Mautic** marketing automation platform. Once connected, you can manage contacts, send emails, run campaigns, and pull analytics — all through natural language in Claude.
Built and open-sourced by **[Discret AI](https://ai.discretdigital.com)**.

## What This Enables
```
Claude ↔ MCP Server (Node.js) ↔ Mautic REST API
```
You talk to Claude. Claude calls your Mautic instance. Examples of what you can say:
> *"Get all contacts tagged solar-dealer"*
> *"Send email ID 12 to all contacts in segment 5"*
> *"Create a contact for Ahmed at ahmed@example.com and add him to the solar campaign"*
> *"What's the open rate on email 7?"*
> *"Add tag follow-up to contact 234"*

## Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v18 or higher
- A running [Mautic](https://www.mautic.org/) instance (self-hosted or cloud)
- Mautic API enabled with Basic Auth credentials
- [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) (for the MCP integration)
---
## Setup
### 1. Enable the Mautic API
In your Mautic admin panel:
1. Go to **Settings → Configuration → API Settings**
2. Set **API enabled** to `Yes`
3. Set **Enable HTTP basic auth** to `Yes`
4. Save
### 2. Clone and Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/abdulhadi-98/mautic-mcp.git
cd mautic-mcp
npm install
```
### 3. Configure Credentials
Copy the example env file and fill in your details:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env`:
```env
MAUTIC_URL=https://your-mautic-domain.com
MAUTIC_USER=admin
MAUTIC_PASS=yourpassword
```
> **Note:** The URL should be your Mautic root URL — no trailing slash. The server automatically appends `/api`.
### 4. Connect to Claude Desktop
Open (or create) your Claude Desktop config file:
- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Add the `mautic` server entry:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mautic": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mautic-mcp/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
**Windows example:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mautic": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:\\Users\\YourName\\mautic-mcp\\index.js"]
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see the Mautic tools appear in the toolbar (hammer icon).

## Connecting from claude.ai (Web)
The server implements OAuth2 so it works directly from [claude.ai](https://claude.ai) in the browser — no desktop app needed.
### Extra environment variable required
Add `SERVER_URL` to your deployment environment (the public HTTPS URL of your server, no trailing slash):
```env
SERVER_URL=https://mcp.yourdomain.com
```
### Connect on claude.ai
1. Go to **claude.ai → Settings → Integrations → Add Integration**
2. Enter your server URL: `https://mcp.yourdomain.com`
3. Claude will redirect you to a sign-in page — enter your `MCP_API_KEY`
4. You'll be redirected back to Claude, connected and ready
Every team member goes through the same flow with the same API key. The server issues each browser session its own bearer token after the key is verified.
### How the OAuth flow works
```
claude.ai → GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server (discovery)
→ GET /oauth/authorize (login page)
→ POST /oauth/authorize (submit API key) (issues auth code)
→ POST /oauth/token (exchange code) (issues bearer token)
→ POST /mcp (all tool calls) (requires bearer token)
```
No database is needed — auth codes expire in 5 minutes, bearer tokens are held in memory. Restarting the server invalidates all tokens (users re-authenticate once).

## Usage Examples
Once connected, try these prompts in Claude:
**Contact management**
```
Get the first 20 contacts in Mautic
Search for contacts with the email domain @example.com
Create a contact: name Ahmed Khan, email ahmed@example.com, company Solar Co
Add tag "hot-lead" to contact 145
```
**Email sending**
```
Send email ID 8 to contact 312
Send email ID 8 to all of these contacts: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104
What are the open and click stats for email 12?
```
**Segments and campaigns**
```
List all segments
Add contact 200 to segment 3
List all campaigns and tell me which ones are active
```
**Bulk operations**
```
Get all contacts tagged "solar-dealer" and send them email ID 5
Add the 10 contacts I'll paste below to segment 7
```

## Authentication
This server uses **HTTP Basic Auth** — the simplest method supported by Mautic. For production use cases, Mautic also supports OAuth2. To switch to OAuth2, replace the `auth` config in `index.js` with token-based headers using Mautic's OAuth2 flow.
---
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome. To add a new tool:
1. Add its schema to the `ListToolsRequestSchema` handler in `index.js`
2. Add its execution logic to the `CallToolRequestSchema` switch block
3. Open a PR with a description of what the tool does and which Mautic API endpoint it wraps
Please keep tools focused — one tool per Mautic API action.
