Lemlist + Claude

Drive Lemlist (cold email + multichannel outreach) from any AI agent: campaigns, leads (in-campaign prospects), team members, hooks. 11 tools, API-key Basic 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:

LEMLIST_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

lemlist.com).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Lemlist → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → API → Get my API key.
  2. Copy the key. Set LEMLIST_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic Auth — Authorization: Basic base64('':${LEMLIST_API_KEY}) — username is empty, password is the API key. (Yes, swapped from the usual: empty username, key as password.) The adapter handles this via BASIC_AUTH with username='' and password=key.

Campaign model: Lemlist's central unit. A campaign has a sequence of steps (email + waits + LinkedIn touches). You add leads (prospects) to a campaign — the campaign then drips touchpoints to each lead.

…(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 Claude

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 shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
  2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter a name, e.g. Lemlist, and the remote MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add.
  4. Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
