Cold email via MCP: let your AI agent send outbound

AI agents can write the pitch. The missing piece is letting them send it — safely, through warmed infrastructure. That is what an MCP deliverability server is for.

AI agents are getting good at the top of the outbound funnel: research a company, find the angle, draft the pitch. The gap is the last step — actually sending, without burning a domain or violating compliance. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) closes it by giving the agent real tools.

What the CogniLead MCP server gives an agent

  • Free, no-key tools: draft_pitch, score_signal, and check_deliverability (live SPF/DMARC grading).
  • Gated tools: ingest_lead, run_campaign, suppress — the real send pipeline.
  • Resources: live sends, suppression list, and warmed-pool state the agent can read.
  • Prompts: cold-outbound-sequence, deliverability-triage, warmup-plan — playbooks that keep output compliant.

Install in your IDE

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cognilead": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cognilead/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "COGNILEAD_API_KEY": "pk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Omit the key and the three free tools still work — an agent can learn the surface before you commit. Add a key and it can run real campaigns through the warmed pool.

See the full MCP surface and setup on the MCP page.
