Smartlead hosts its own MCP server, and you connect it from Claude or ChatGPT by signing in with your Smartlead account. It lets the assistant answer questions about campaigns, leads, mailboxes and your inbox. Smartlead's help center says the assistant asks you to confirm before it sends an email or deletes data. Community servers use a Smartlead API key instead, and a few of them cover far more of the API.
Good for
- Cold email operators who want campaign stats and unread replies in chat
- Agencies who check mailbox health and deliverability across clients
- Growth teams that need SmartProspect lead search from an assistant
- Teams who want the assistant to read data but not send email
Which Smartlead MCP server to use
Use Smartlead's own server for everyday questions about campaigns and replies. Choose voriq-ai's when you want read-only by default and SmartProspect, or Vibe-Marketer's if you want your own Cloudflare Worker.

Questions
Is there an official Smartlead MCP server?
Yes. Smartlead hosts it and documents setup for Claude and for ChatGPT in its help center. You sign in with your Smartlead account.
How do I add Smartlead to Claude?
In Claude, go to Settings > Connectors, search for Smartlead, click Connect, then log in to Smartlead and click Allow. Make sure you log in to the right account, because Claude only sees the account you connect.
Does it work in ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT, open Plugins, search for Smartlead and click Connect, then log in and click Allow.
Will it send emails or delete things without asking?
Not without asking you. Smartlead's help center says the assistant asks you to confirm before it sends an email or deletes data, and nothing happens until you say yes.
How do I cut off access?
Disconnect Smartlead in Claude or ChatGPT, or in Smartlead go to Settings > API Key Management and delete the key named MCP followed by the client. Access ends right away.
Is there an older way to connect with an API key?
Yes. Smartlead's older guide runs mcp-remote against https://mcp.smartlead.ai/sse with your API key in the address. It is documented for Claude Desktop and needs Node.js.
Which community server is read-only by default?
voriq-ai's. Its README sets the default mode to readonly, and sending, credit spending and deleting stay blocked until you turn on a flag and confirm each call. It lists 183 tools including SmartProspect.
Which community server has the most tools?
voriq-ai's with 183. Vibe-Marketer's has 67 and runs as a Cloudflare Worker you deploy yourself. griffinwork40's has 28 and covers campaigns, leads, email accounts and analytics.
Is it free?
voriq-ai's, griffinwork40's and Vibe-Marketer's servers are MIT licensed and need your Smartlead API key. The official server works through your Smartlead account.
