Omnisend + Cursor

Manage Omnisend (e-commerce marketing automation: contacts, campaigns, events, products, categories) from any AI agent. 9 tools, X-API-KEY 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:

OMNISEND_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Omnisend REST API v3 (api.omnisend.com/v3).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://app.omnisend.com → top-right avatar → Store settings → Integrations & API → API keys → Create API key.
  2. Set OMNISEND_API_KEY.

Authentication: X-API-KEY: ${OMNISEND_API_KEY}.

Contact statuses: subscribed, unsubscribed, nonSubscribed — per channel (email vs SMS).

Custom events: trigger automations via the events endpoint. Send an event with name + email/contactID + properties; Omnisend matches it to active workflows.

Pagination: cursor-based via paging.next. limit (max 250).

Rate limits: 400 req/min per token. 429 with Retry-After.

…(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 Cursor

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.

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
  2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Omnisend is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Omnisend tools are now invokable.
