Hello James!

If by MCP you mean Model Context Protocol (like the new OpenAI framework for connectors), then the idea of wiring it up to FluentCRM is definitely interesting. In theory, it’s just about exposing Fluent’s REST API endpoints (contacts, lists, tags, campaigns) so that MCP can query and act on them.

We’ve played a bit with MCP and Fluent and some carts so as to analyze tendencies and so, but we’re being cautious. MCP is powerful - no question - yet it also brings new risk vectors: data leaks, and especially prompt injection, which becomes critical when you’re dealing with personal data stored in a CRM.

So while building the connector is feasible, the question isn’t “Can we do it?” but “Should we?”.

For something as sensitive as FluentCRM, you’d want to design with zero trust principles, strict scopes, and possibly a proxy layer to sanitize queries before they ever touch your database.

Amazing tech, but not something to rush into imho!

I just built one to run locally with claude desktop. Testing now :-)

Here's what the first version does: ✨ Email Campaigns - Create single drafts in seconds 🎯 Email Sequences - Build multi-email series (your #1 priority!) 🎨 Auto Templates - Uses your templates (93202, 89684) 👥 Subscriber Search - Find contacts instantly 📊 Analytics - View campaign stats on demand 🔒 Safe by Default - Everything starts as draft

Everything is done in Claude

James Maduk Could you share more on how you set this up?

James Maduk

Stephanie Hudson After I do a bit more testing today.

Big Picture...

  1. I had previously asked claude to vibe code a simple browser app that used the wordpress api. The app let me paste a video transcript and then make a blog post as a draft in WP
  2. I did have to install node.js to run on my local mac install. (I asked claude to tell me how to do that)
  3. Next gave the FluentCRM dev docs URL to Claude and asked it to connect to fluent crm and write an email that would send a formatted email when a new post was added to wordpress. I just wanted to announce the new post. Made sure it was saved as.a draft.
  4. Took a bit of tweaking - which was done all in Claude to get this formatting the emails correctly.
  5. After that was working I thought it would be cool to just have claude create all the Emails/sequences/automations etc and run it directly..
  6. Asked claude to create the mcp and make the same tasks available right within the claude desktop..... All Done.
  7. Now I can just be in claude and say... Create an email sequence for xxxx and it gets created
  8. Testing right now... .

NOTES: Never coded before - Everything was done directly in Claude.ai -

  • I know that this type of automation/app can be done with other tools N8N/lovable etc. but I was playing around :-)

I'll put together a video after testing to show how it works.

Current Setup:

  • WordPress with AI-Engine plugin MCP
  • FluentCart with AI-Engine plugin MCP
  • FluentCRM for email and automations...
  • ContentStudio MCP for social media posts,
  • Waiting for FluentCommunity !!!!
  • Thinking about FluentBoards

Claude or ChatGPT connector is for me too much work to check everything many times for a simple newsletter, Iam much faster to do that manually instead of that connectors.
But I run MCP actions for FluentCRM with FlowMattic to n8n, so I have set a simple schedule to create every few days a new newsletter campaign. That campaigns include to find a new event, create new email subject, new email pre-header, customize exist template, find new products that fits to a specific event (as example: winter season event, then it shows prodcuts for winter) and much more. Thats works already amazing good and fully automatic, but I continuing to expand this setup! :D

James Maduk

Kevin Heinrichs Are you only doing a newsletter campaign with the automation?

Kevin Heinrichs

James Maduk Currently yes, because that was boring work every 2-3 days. But FlowMattic added lot of more integrations for FluentCRM few days ago, so soon I will look what is more possible for automations for tags and list managment, triggers for email opened and email clicked etc. https://flowmattic.com/integration/fluentcrm/
