A lightweight, robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the **Instantly.ai V2 API**, built with FastMCP.
A lightweight, robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Instantly.ai V2 API, built with FastMCP. That is what the instantly mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
list_accounts — List email accounts with filteringget_account — Get account details and warmup statuscreate_account — Create account with IMAP/SMTP credentialsupdate_account — Update account settingsmanage_account_state — Pause, resume, warmup control, test vitalsdelete_account — ⚠️ Permanently delete accountcreate_campaign — Create email campaign (two-step process)list_campaigns — List campaigns with paginationget_campaign — Get campaign details and sequencesupdate_campaign — Update campaign settingsactivate_campaign — Start campaign sendingpause_campaign — Stop campaign sendingThe server ships on PyPI as fastmcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Configuration is passed through the environment: INSTANTLY_API_KEY, TOOL_CATEGORIES, YOUR_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Instantly MCP's toolset — list_accounts, get_account, create_account and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bcharleson; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Instantly MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
