I can’t seem to figure out how to get email templates related to an email campaign via MCP server tools. Claude and Chat GPT say it’s not possible via the MCP server. Klaviyo - can you add some tools to enable listing/editing/cloning email templates? 🙏🏼

Hi! ​@MissionSquad 

I am not a developer or MCP savvy but I put my engineering hat on for you and just did some internal research into this...

Short story is that, yes, you/Claude and ChatGPT are not missing anything here. This is a real limitation of the current MCP tools.

For anyone else stumbling on this read, here’s a bit of a summary on MCP’s can and cannots:

What’s possible via MCP today:

  • You can create new HTML email templates and campaigns, and you can preview a given campaign’s content and performance via MCP.
  • With that, a dev-style workaround is: read an existing campaign’s HTML via MCP, then use the “create HTML email template” or “create campaign” tools to make a new one that reuses that content (a manual version of “clone”).

What’s not supported today:

  • No documented MCP tool to:
    • List all templates in your account
    • Directly edit or clone existing templates
    • Cleanly map “this campaign is based on template X”

So what Claude / ChatGPT are telling you is accurate: full template library management and campaign↔template linking aren’t exposed over MCP right now.

However, as you requested, I’ve shared this thread and your ask internally as a feature request so they can factor it into how they expand the tool set.

I hope this was semi-helpful or offered some MCP solace!

@MissionSquad I heard back from the MCP team that they are already working on this request!

Thanks ​@GabbyEsposito!

I added some email template tools to a version of your MCP server and I’m using that for now. Maybe it can save your MCP team some time! https://github.com/MissionSquad/mcp-klaviyo

I would like to use OAuth instead of an API key, so official support is preferred. Thanks for taking this on!
