Brevo + ChatGPT

Drive Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) — transactional email/SMS, marketing campaigns, contacts and lists — from any AI agent. 14 tools, api-key header auth, EU-based deliverability.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

BREVO_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://app.brevo.com → top-right avatar → SMTP & API → API Keys → Generate a new API key.
  2. Name it ('AnythingMCP'). It's prefixed xkeysib-. Set BREVO_API_KEY.

Authentication: custom header api-key: ${BREVO_API_KEY} (lowercase header name — Brevo-specific). The adapter sets it via API_KEY profile.

Verified sender: just like SendGrid, you must verify your sending domain or sender email before transactional email actually delivers (otherwise it lands in spam or is rejected). Brevo → Senders & IP → Senders → Add a sender OR domain authentication via SPF/DKIM.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

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

Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports MCP servers via the Connectors feature (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise plans). The free tier does not support custom connectors.

  1. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (or click the 🔧 icon in the composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Click "Add custom connector".
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Brevo
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Click Connect to authorize.
