Use rapidmail with AI via MCP
Anyone sending newsletters regularly juggles recipient lists, copy drafts and reports. rapidmail does not offer an MCP server so far – so we build the connection to CompanyGPT individually on the vendor's REST APIv3.
What is rapidmail?
rapidmail is newsletter software from rapidmail GmbH, based in Freiburg. It covers the full campaign lifecycle: managing recipient lists, designing mailings, embedding sign-up forms, triggering automations and reviewing send results. Servers and processing are located in Germany, and the platform is built consistently around GDPR requirements.
In an AI context, rapidmail supplies solid figures and content: which campaign went out when, how delivery, opens and unsubscribes develop, how large individual lists are. An agent can retrieve this data, relate it and turn it into readable analyses or fresh copy blocks – without anyone transcribing numbers from the backend.

How to Connect rapidmail to CompanyGPT
rapidmail currently does not offer an MCP server. The basis for the connection is its REST APIv3, documented at developer.rapidmail.wiki, which exposes recipient lists, mailings and statistics.
Authentication uses HTTP basic auth with a dedicated API username and matching API password. We store these credentials exclusively inside your CompanyGPT environment; they never leave your tenant. From the API specification we build the matching MCP integration, and we define its tool scope together with you.
Inside CompanyGPT, your administrators then decide by role and group which teams see the integration at all. For many marketing teams, read access for reporting and research is entirely sufficient – write functions can be added selectively where they are needed.
Typical Use Cases
How AI agents in CompanyGPT work with rapidmail
Weekly recap for marketing
The agent retrieves the results of recently sent mailings and turns them into a short recap with delivery rate, opens and unsubscribes for the team meeting.
Check list hygiene
Ahead of a larger send, you can ask how many recipients sit in which list and where unsubscribes cluster – a basis for cleaning up address data.
Campaign copy from existing content
Product announcements or blog posts become a structured newsletter draft including subject line options, which the team then finalizes in rapidmail.
Frequently Asked Questions
rapidmail and AI – the most important answers
Is there an MCP server for rapidmail?
Not at the moment. Neither the vendor nor the community provides an established MCP server. The connection to CompanyGPT therefore runs through the documented REST APIv3.
How does CompanyGPT authenticate with rapidmail?
Via HTTP basic auth with a separate API username and API password that you create in rapidmail. The access can be revoked at any time without affecting other user accounts.
Does the AI see personal data of our recipients?
Only if you enable the corresponding functions. Reporting use cases work with aggregated figures. Which endpoints the integration may use is defined during setup.
Does the data stay in Germany?
rapidmail processes the data on servers in Germany. CompanyGPT runs in your own cloud tenant, whose region you choose – both systems communicate directly, with no intermediary services.
Can this be combined with other systems?
Yes. CompanyGPT lets you bundle several integrations in one agent, for example newsletter metrics from rapidmail alongside content from companyFILES or data from your CRM.
