Smartlead for AI agents
Smartlead is a sales engagement platform for running cold email campaigns across many sending accounts, tracking replies and deliverability at scale. 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 Smartlead.
Check campaign performance before scaling
Get a campaign's stats to confirm reply and bounce rates before adding more prospects to it.
List replies needing a response
List inbox replies across campaigns so a rep can see who responded before drafting a follow-up.
Confirm before deleting a campaign
Review a campaign's details and require confirmation before deleting it, since the action removes its history and schedule.
19 Smartlead actions, graded by risk.
Every Smartlead action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Smartlead through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('smartlead', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_campaign destructive: 'deny', // delete_campaign }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Smartlead connects.
Users add their Smartlead 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 Smartlead connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use Smartlead from any agent.
Smartlead and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Smartlead with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Smartlead 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 Smartlead actions you allow.
How do users connect Smartlead?
Users add their Smartlead 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.
Which Smartlead actions can my agent take?
19 in total: 15 read, 2 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Draft Campaign”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Smartlead?
Yes. Actions like “delete Campaign” 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.
Can my own backend call Smartlead too?
Yes. The same Smartlead connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Smartlead into your agent.
Your users connect Smartlead once, under your brand. Your agent gets 19 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
