# Newsletters

Newsletters people join by confirming their address, sent through the business's own email service from its own domain. Issues are written in Markdown, tested, then sent now or later, with one-click unsubscribe, a public page with the archive, and click counts per link.

Replaces: Buttondown, Sendy, listmonk.

## MCP server

`https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/newsletters` connects the Newsletters tools only, plus the account tools that come with every MCP server. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP; send the key as `Authorization: Bearer <conecto_sk_ key>`. Every tool here is also a REST call: `POST https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/<name>` with the arguments as a JSON object.

## ChatGPT and Claude

Add `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/mcp` as a connector in ChatGPT or Claude, one for every area, and tick Newsletters when you sign in. It signs in with OAuth: someone on the account signs in on conecto.chat, ticks the areas it may use and allows it, and it runs on a key of its own that the owner can revoke.

## OpenAPI

For a custom GPT's Actions: `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/openapi/newsletters.json` (OpenAPI 3.0, the key as a Bearer token). For Power Automate, Logic Apps and Copilot Studio connectors: `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/openapi/newsletters.swagger.json` (OpenAPI 2.0, the key in the X-Api-Key header). Both list this area's tools and the account tools.

Prices: All free: every issue, invitation and test goes out through the business's own email service, on its own plan there. A call that fails costs nothing.
