SmartLead

You can integrate SmartLead’s cold email automation capabilities with your AI tools through a dedicated MCP Server. It exposes the complete SmartLead API via an intuitive installer and supports automatic configuration for your favorite AI assistants, editors, and IDEs, so you can manage campaigns, leads, emails, analytics, and more from a single, consistent interface.

How to use

Install the MCP Server using your preferred method, then connect your MCP-enabled AI client or editor to the server. Use the provided MCP configurations to run the server locally or point your client to the remote server, enabling you to create campaigns, manage leads and emails, monitor analytics, and leverage smart delivery and sender tools from within your AI workflow. Ensure your API key is valid and that your environment variables are set so the client can authenticate and access all SmartLead endpoints.

How to install

# Prerequisites: Node.js (recommended) and npm installed on your machine

# Option A: NPX (recommended for quick setup)
npx smartlead-mcp-by-leadmagic install

# Option B: Global install (alternative)
npm install -g smartlead-mcp-by-leadmagic
smartlead-mcp-by-leadmagic install

# Get your API key from the SmartLead app
# Example usage with NPX and API key
SMARTLEAD_API_KEY=your-key npx smartlead-mcp-by-leadmagic

Additional configuration and notes

Configuration is driven by MCP server blocks that specify how to run the server and which environment variables to use. In this guide, two ready-to-use examples show how to wire the MCP server into common editors and IDEs. The installer validates API access in real time and auto-detects integration points with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue.dev, VS Code, and Zed. You can customize the connection for your environment by adjusting the environment variables or changing the command and arguments in the MCP setup.

Security and troubleshooting

Security: Use API key validation, avoid hardcoding secrets, enable HTTPS, apply rate limiting, sanitize errors, and monitor for anomalies.

Troubleshooting tips: verify your API key, restart your AI client if tools seem missing, check network connectivity and firewall rules, and prefer global installs for performance if you experience issues with npx.
