Benchmark Email for AI agents

Benchmark Email is an email marketing platform for building, sending, and analyzing campaigns, used by small businesses to manage contact lists, automations, and signup forms. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Benchmark Email.

01

Clean a contact list before a send

Clean a contact list to remove invalid addresses before launching a new campaign.

02

Segment engaged contacts

Create a segment from contact IDs who opened recent emails, to target them separately.

03

Delete a contact list on request

Delete a contact list only after the user confirms it's no longer needed, since it removes its contacts too.

02 · ACTIONS

298 Benchmark Email actions, graded by risk.

Every Benchmark Email action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Benchmark Email connects.

Users add their Benchmark Email api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Benchmark Email connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Benchmark Email and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Benchmark Email with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Benchmark Email to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Benchmark Email actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Benchmark Email?

Users add their Benchmark Email api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Benchmark Email actions can my agent take?

298 in total: 176 read, 72 write and 50 destructive, such as “create Inbox”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Benchmark Email?

Yes. Actions like “delete List” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Benchmark Email too?

Yes. The same Benchmark Email connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
