    ActiveCampaign MCP for your AI agent

    Cogny's ActiveCampaign integration exposes 22 tools (13 read, 7 write, 2 destructive) to an AI agent over MCP. The same tools are available on every plan, from your own AI client or inside the Cogny app.

    • 13readonly reads data.
    • 7writecreates or changes something.
    • 2destructivedeletes, removes or replaces something.

    Over MCP your own AI client asks before it runs a write. To take a tool away from your agent, block it in Settings → Integrations. Plans, approvals and limits

    set it up.

    Add Cogny to your AI client once, then connect ActiveCampaign in Cogny. Every ActiveCampaign tool below appears in the client.

    Full setup, and how to undo it

    Notes

    ActiveCampaign connects with two values from ActiveCampaign → Settings → Developer: the API URL (it looks like https://youraccount.api-us1.com) and the API key. There are no scopes: the key has the permissions of the ActiveCampaign user it belongs to, so connect it as a user who can see the contacts, campaigns, automations and deals Cogny should work with.

    Campaign stats come from ActiveCampaign's own counters: sent, opens, unique opens, link clicks, unique link clicks, forwards, hard and soft bounces, unsubscribes and replies. Rates are computed from them (open rate = unique opens / sent, click rate = unique link clicks / sent, click-to-open = unique clicks / unique opens).

    Deal values are read and written in the deal's own currency; amounts in different currencies are never converted or added together.

    ActiveCampaign allows 5 API requests per second per account. Lists return at most 100 items per call and page with offset.

    Writes stay ask-first until you allow them in Settings. Adding a contact to an automation runs that automation for them, and subscribing a contact to a double opt-in list sends a confirmation email; tags can also start automations.

    Known gaps

    • Campaigns can't be created, edited, sent or scheduled. Campaign stats are totals per campaign; there is no per-day breakdown or per-contact open and click history.
    • Click counts per link in a campaign aren't returned; get_campaign lists the tracked links only.
    • No deletes: contacts, deals, lists, tags and automations can't be deleted.
    • Automations can be listed and contacts added to them, but not built, edited, started or stopped.
    • No site tracking, event tracking, ecommerce (Deep Data) orders, forms or SMS.
    • Deal tasks and custom deal fields aren't exposed; deal notes are.
