Kit (ConvertKit) + ChatGPT
Drive Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — creator-focused email marketing — from any AI agent: subscribers, tags, forms, sequences, broadcasts, custom fields. 14 tools, v4 API with API-key Bearer auth.
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:
CONVERTKIT_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
convertkit.com under v4).
Setup:
- Sign in to https://app.kit.com → Advanced Settings → API → Show v4 API key.
- Copy the v4 API key. Set
CONVERTKIT_API_KEY. - (Optional, only for older v3 endpoints not used here): the v3 API uses an
api_secret— not needed for this connector.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${CONVERTKIT_API_KEY}. The adapter handles this via BEARER_TOKEN.
Subscriber model: every email is a 'subscriber'. State machine: active, inactive (manually paused), bounced, complained, cancelled. New subscribers default to active. Adding to a sequence does NOT create an active subscriber automatically — they must be active first.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
Kit (ConvertKit). - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.
