Beehiiv MCP Server: setup guide and key features. One of its best new features of Beehiiv is the Beehiiv MCP Server and that is saving a lot of time for DevOpsCube. DevOpsCube run the DevOpsCube newsletter on Beehiiv with 20,000+ subscribers. DevOpsCube connected Beehiiv with Claude using MCP, and it has made it much easier to manage different tasks from one place. In this guide, you will learn Beehiiv MCP server, what it can do, how to set it up, how to integrate it with your AI model, and much more. If you are existing Beehiiv user or someone who wants to know about this feature, this guide it for you. What is Beehiiv MCP Server? With the Beehiiv MCP server, you can connect your Beehiiv account with AI models like Claude, Codex, and other AI models that support MCP (Model Context Protocol). This allows you to communicate with your Beehiiv account directly from your AI model. You can pull metrics, create surveys, create posts, analyze your podcast, perform SEO analysis, and much more. The workflow diagram illustrated how the Beehiiv MCP server works. If you want to know more about it, keep reading, and you will get a full, in-depth understanding of what you can do with the Beehiiv MCP server. Set up Beehiiv MCP with AI Models. Lets startw with understanding how to connect the Beehiiv MCP with AI models. I'm not going to cover every AI model in this guide. Instead, I will show you how to connect an MCP Server with Claude as an example, since it is one of the most widely used AI models today. If you do like to see tutorials for other AI models(Cursor, Codex, and other), let me know in the comments. I will be happy to create step-by-step guides for them as well. Step 1: go to Beehiiv Settings. In the bottom left corner of the Beehiiv dashboard, you will see the Settings button, click on it. Step 2: Find the MCP option and copy the connector URL. Once you open the Settings page, you will find the MCP option in the left-side menu. Click on it. Next, go to the Claude section and copy the Connector URL, as shown in the image below. Step 3: open Claude and click Customize. Now, open your Claude account. In the left-side menu, click the Customize option. Step 4: click connectors and select Add custom connector. Now you have to click the connectors, then click the plus(+) icon, and select Add custom connector. Step 5: enter Beehiiv MCP Server Connector URL. Enter Beehiiv as the connector name, then paste the Connector URL you copied from the Beehiiv MCP section. Click Add to connect the Beehiiv MCP Server to Claude. That's it! You have successfully connected your Beehiiv account to your Claude account. As a final check, make sure the Beehiiv connector toggle is turned on in your Claude account. If you're unsure, refer to the image below for confirmation. Next, let's look at one of the most important parts of this guide. I will show you what you can do with the Beehiiv MCP. Features of Beehiiv MCP. Let's get to know, what you can do with the Beehiiv MCP without opening your Beehiiv account directly. It allows AI to interact with your Beehiiv workspace and perform tasks for you, making newsletter management much faster and easier. Content Creation & management. You can do three things with your newsletter content using the Beehiiv MCP. Create new posts, edit existing drafts, and update your existing templates, all by using prompts in your AI. But, there is one thing you still need to do manually is to publish or schedule the post directly from Beehiiv. For example, Prompt: Create a post draft on the topic[Topic Name]. Conduct in-depth research across the web to identify the latest trends, industry insights, real-world use cases, and relevant statistics from credible sources. Analyze how these trends are being applied in practice and include actionable examples where possible. Structure the draft using the existing template, [Template Name], while ensuring the content is well-organized, informative, and optimized for readability. Note: This prompt can do around 80-90% of the work for you. The remaining part is to review the draft, check important details, and add your own insights, opinions, or personal experience before publishing. Manage your subscribers. With your subscriber data, you can perform several tasks directly from your AI model, including tagging subscribers, creating audience segments, adding custom fields, and creating surveys and polls. * Subscriber Tagging - Organize your subscribers using tags based on their interests or behavior. This makes it easier to manage your audience and run more targeted campaigns. * Segment Creation - Create audience segments by grouping subscribers with similar characteristics or interests. You can then send specific newsletters or campaigns only to those targeted subscribers. * Custom Fields - Create custom fields to collect additional information during the subscription process, such as age, profession, company, location, or any other data relevant to your newsletter. * Create Surveys & Polls - Build surveys and polls to collect feedback, understand your audience's preferences, and make data-driven decisions to improve your newsletter content. I was really shocked at first that DevOpsCube could use so much from its AI tool using MCP. It is very useful for DevOpsCube to know its audience so much better. Give it a try yourself. Once you start using it, you will see why I was so impressed. You can view open rates, click rates, best-performing newsletters, subscriber growth, where your subscribers are coming from, active subscribers, and much more. Not only that, you can even perform a complete SEO audit of your website. Using MCP, you can also manage your metadata and redirects directly from your AI tool. Audit my entire website from an SEO perspective. Provide a detailed analysis of the site's overall performance, identify posts that are not receiving traffic, highlight the highest-performing posts, and include actionable recommendations backed by relevant analytics. The AI tool will then gather the necessary information from your Beehiiv account and generate a detailed report for you. Create automations. You can build email automations and workflows in Beehiiv using MCP. For example, when someone signs up, you can automatically send them an email about your course within a few seconds. You can also create multiple automations within a single automation workflow. As you can see in the image below, I created an automation that, if anyone subscribes, the welcome email is automatically sent to their inbox. Yes, I know this is a very basic automation, but you can do much more. Note: You can't activate automations directly from the AI tool. You need to do that from your Beehiiv account. But, you can build automations using MCP. Here are the other things you can do: * Analyze and manage your podcast * Manage your ad network * You can create guest authors with bios. Note: Free Beehiiv users only get read-only access. This means you can't create posts or make changes from your AI. You can only view and pull analytics. Conclusion. In this guide, I have covered what you can do with Beehiiv MCP server, what you can't do, and how to connect your MCP to Claude. Over to you? Have you tried this feature?

Passionfroot raises $15M to expand its B2B creator marketplace to the US. Passionfroot, a German startup building a marketplace connecting B2B creators with brands, has raised $15M in a Series A round led by Insight Partners Passionfroot, a German startup building a marketplace connecting B2B creators with brands, said on Wednesday it has raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Insight Partners. Rebecca Liu-Doyle, managing director at Insight Partners, said Passionfroot is placed well at a time when creators are specializing as AI companies look for more visibility. "Passionfroot has the perfect dynamics on both sides to warrant a true marketplace for B2B creators. On the demand side, there is increasing consumerization of the way B2B brands go to market. That's a product of, in part, AI technology requiring evangelism, narrative building, and education. On the supply side, there are people who have real expertise, understand a market deeply, and want to create quality content," she told TechCrunch over a call. With the funding, the Berlin-based startup's co-founder and CEO, Jen Phan, is moving to New York, where Passionfroot is opening an office to expand its U.S. operations. The company is also opening an office in São Paulo, and expanding its current headcount of 15 employees. As AI makes it easier to build products, companies are focusing on using creators to improve brand recall and recognition, Phan said. "Every head of marketing or growth leader I'm talking to is saying really the same thing: AI is commoditizing software and flooding every category with new products, features, and launches. It's incredibly crowded and noisy. That is why B2B buyers are going to channels like LinkedIn, a creator's Substack, or a podcast on YouTube to discover new products and tools," she said. Phan said over the last year, the company increased its revenue by 13 times, and onboarded clients such as ElevenLabs, Figma, Replit, Framer, and Gamma. Since its last fundraise in 2024, the company has released an AI agent called Zest, which helps brands create, execute and monitor the performance of campaigns. Passionfruit claims Zest can also help companies find suitable creators both inside and outside the platform that are suited to its marketing strategy. The startup says it uses a proprietary creator graph based on data about reach and performance from thousands of campaigns. There's also a wallet that companies can use to pay creators across the globe, and measure their expenditure. Passionfroot claims it has paid at least $10 million to creators on its platform in the last 18 months. The company says it is working on helping its clients measure how a campaign is impacting AI citations, and how their brand appears in AI-powered answers. The startup is also planning to build AI features for creators, such as helping them with monetization tips and content ideas. The funding comes as creator platforms like Substack and Beehiiv move to help creators find better monetization opportunities. Beehiiv launched a new community and ad marketplace last week, and Substack has introduced subscriber-only perks within newsletters. Passionfroot's Series A also saw participation from existing investors Creandum, Supernode Global, and s16vc. The company has raised more than $21 million so far.
