Connecting and Using the AWeber MCP Server

What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that lets AI assistants and agents interact with external tools using natural language. You connect AWeber’s MCP to a tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI agent to access your AWeber data in a conversational way.

You can use your tool of choice to accomplish all sorts of marketing tasks using your AWeber data. For example:

  • “Add email_address to my AWeber list list_name with the tags tag1, tag2“

  • “Show open and click rate from broadcasts on my AWeber list list_name in the last week”

  • “Create a signup form for my AWeber list list_name with name and email fields”

Here’s an example of using the MCP in Claude to create a draft newsletter using my previous newsletter edition’s structure.

Prompting Tips

AI models can’t read your mind. If there’s context they need to complete a task the way you want, you need to be sure to give it to them in the prompt.

Our example prompts above assume the model has enough context that it knows to attempt to use the AWeber MCP to answer the query. If it’s struggling to do something, you might need to be more specific. For example the “my AWeber” component below explicitly tells the AI to use the AWeber MCP tool you have installed:

  • Instead of: “Add email address to list name"

  • Do this: “Add email address to my AWeber list called list name"


Interesting Use Cases

Write a newsletter

2025-11-06_14-00-23.png

  1. First, I’ll ask my assistant (Claude in this case) to give me some topics based on my recent emails I’ve sent to my list.

Look at the content of my previous 3 broadcasts on my list name list, and suggest 5 topics for my next newsletter.

  1. Then I’ll ask my assistant to create a newsletter based on one of those topics. I’ll use my assistant to make the edits I want to make before asking to add it to AWeber.

Write me a newsletter with the topic topic. Use the same template as my recent broadcasts. Follow the same content structure and tone as my recent broadcasts.

  1. Now I’ll ask the assistant to add the draft to AWeber.

Add this draft to my dinki pickleball list

  1. If I want to make edits once the draft is in AWeber, I can ask for them like this.

Update my message subject line to the change you want to make

  1. When I’m ready to send or schedule, I can do that directly from my assistant.

Schedule my message subject line on list name for 11:00am on November 10th.
