Mailchimp
Drive Mailchimp's Marketing API from any AI agent: audiences (lists), members, tags, campaigns, templates, segments and account info. 16 ready-to-use tools. Bearer-token auth with a datacenter-prefixed base URL.
Setup
Datacenter-prefixed base URL (Mailchimp-specific quirk): each account lives on a numbered datacenter — us1, us2, … us21, etc. — and the API URL embeds it: https://us{N}.api.mailchimp.com/3.0. The datacenter suffix is the last segment of your API key after the dash (so an API key with -us6 at the end lives on us6). The adapter takes the datacenter as an env var MAILCHIMP_DC and substitutes it into the base URL — if you set the wrong DC you'll get 404 NotResolved errors.
