SendGrid + ChatGPT

Send transactional and marketing emails via SendGrid's v3 API from any AI agent. 14 tools covering send, templates, stats, suppressions, contacts and marketing lists. Bearer-token auth, EU + Global datacenter support.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

SENDGRID_API_KEY

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

Setup:

  1. Sign in to SendGrid (or via Twilio's console — SendGrid is part of Twilio since 2019) → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key.
  2. Pick Restricted Access and grant at least: Mail Send (Full Access), Template Engine (Read), Stats (Read), Suppressions (Read), Marketing > Contacts (Read+Write), Marketing > Lists (Read+Write). Full Access also works but follows least-privilege poorly.
  3. Copy the key — it's shown ONCE. Set SENDGRID_API_KEY to it.
  4. (Optional) If your account is on the EU datacenter (GDPR data residency), set SENDGRID_BASE_URL to https://api.eu.sendgrid.com. Default is the global https://api.sendgrid.com.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en ChatGPT

ChatGPT soporta servidores MCP a través de la función Connectors (planes Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise). El plan gratuito no admite conectores personalizados.

  1. Abre ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (o pulsa el icono 🔧 en el composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Pulsa "Add custom connector".
  3. Rellena:
    • Name: SendGrid
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → pega tu MCP API key (de AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Pulsa Connect para autorizar.
