Use CleverReach with AI via MCP
Newsletters rarely write themselves: defining audiences, drafting copy and reviewing results eat into every marketing week. CleverReach does not currently offer an MCP server of its own, so the connection to CompanyGPT is built individually on its documented REST API v3.
What is CleverReach?
CleverReach is an email marketing and newsletter platform from CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Rastede, Lower Saxony. Companies use it to build mailings in a drag-and-drop editor, segment recipient lists, run automations in the automation editor and review campaign performance in the reporting module. Development and hosting take place in Germany, which puts GDPR compliance at the centre of the product.
For AI agents, CleverReach is mainly relevant as a structured marketing data source. Recipient groups, send history and open or click figures are available through the API – numbers that are otherwise collected manually from the backend. Combined with content from other systems, they turn into analyses, summaries and copy drafts.

How to Connect CleverReach to CompanyGPT
CleverReach currently provides no MCP server of its own. That is not a blocker: the platform offers a fully documented REST API v3 at rest.cleverreach.com, including an interactive API explorer, authenticated via OAuth 2.0.
Any API that ships an OpenAPI specification can be exposed as an MCP integration for CompanyGPT. Access rights follow the permissions of the OAuth client you create – a read-only setup for reporting is just as feasible as a broader scope that creates drafts or list entries.
As an alternative, CleverReach can be reached through an automation gateway: the tool ships with ready-made connectors for n8n, Make and Zapier. innFactory operates n8n for customers as a dedicated service, so workflows and CompanyGPT run in the same environment. Which employees may use the integration is controlled by your administrators in CompanyGPT via roles and groups.
Typical Use Cases
How AI agents in CompanyGPT work with CleverReach
Campaign reporting on request
Marketing asks in chat for open and click rates of recent sends. The agent pulls the figures through the API and contrasts the development across several campaigns.
Keep track of your lists
List sizes, growth and unsubscribes can be queried without logging into the backend – useful for recurring status updates to sales or management.
Prepare newsletter drafts
Blog posts, product information or documents from companyFILES become a copy draft for the next issue, which the team finalizes and approves inside CleverReach.
Frequently Asked Questions
CleverReach and AI – the most important answers
Does CleverReach have an official MCP server?
No. CleverReach does not offer an MCP server so far. The connection to CompanyGPT is built individually on the REST API v3, which the vendor documents in full and ships with an API explorer.
So how is CleverReach connected to CompanyGPT?
We set up an MCP integration based on the API specification. Authentication runs through OAuth 2.0 with a dedicated client whose scope you define. Alternatively, the connection can go through n8n, Make or Zapier.
Can access be limited to read-only?
Yes. The functional scope follows the rights of the OAuth client and the tools you enable. Reporting only needs read access – write operations can be excluded entirely.
Where does the data sit with this setup?
CompanyGPT runs in your own cloud tenant and calls the CleverReach API directly. No third-party service sits in between. Processing inside CleverReach remains governed by your existing contract with the vendor.
How much effort is the setup?
To get started you need an OAuth client in your CleverReach account and a decision on which functions to enable. We handle the technical implementation together with your marketing team.
