Supported Tools

manage_collection

Manage Collection

Create, update, or delete a collection in your Customer.io workspace. Collections store reusable data (promotions, events, courses, etc.) that you can reference in campaigns with Liquid. You can provide data as JSON or point to a URL for CSV/JSON data.

list_collections

List Collections

Retrieve all collections in your Customer.io workspace. Collections are sets of reusable data (promotions, events, courses, etc.) that you reference in campaigns with Liquid templates.

manage_manual_segment

Manage Manual Segment

Add or remove people from a manual segment. Manual segments are static groups that you manage explicitly, unlike data-driven segments that update automatically based on criteria.

track_event

Track Event

Track a custom event for a person or an anonymous event. Events represent actions people perform — button clicks, purchases, page views, etc. You can use events to trigger campaigns and segment users. Supports tracking events attributed to a specific person, anonymous events (associated later), and page/screen views.

list_segments

List Segments

Retrieve all segments in your Customer.io workspace. Segments are named groups of people who share characteristics or behaviors. Returns both data-driven and manual segments.

list_campaigns

List Campaigns

Retrieve campaigns from your Customer.io workspace. Returns information about campaigns including their names, states, types, and tags.

manage_device

Manage Device

Register or remove a device for push notifications associated with a person. Use this to add mobile devices (iOS/Android) to a person for push notification targeting, or to remove a device when a user logs out or opts out.

search_people

Search People

Search for people in your Customer.io workspace using complex filters. Find people by segment membership, attribute values, or other criteria. Returns up to 1000 people per request.

get_person

Get Person

Look up a person in your Customer.io workspace and retrieve their attributes, segments, and recent activity. You can look up a person by their ID, email, or cio_id.

send_transactional_message

Send Transactional Message

Send a transactional message (email, push notification, or SMS) to a person. Transactional messages are for receipts, password resets, order confirmations, and other messages your audience implicitly expects to receive. You can reference a pre-built template by its transactional message ID, or provide the full message content inline.

delete_person

Delete Person

Delete a person from your Customer.io workspace. This removes the person and their data, but does not suppress them — they can be re-added later. Use the suppress action if you want to prevent the person from being re-added.

merge_people

Merge People

Merge two person profiles into one. The secondary person's data is consolidated into the primary person's profile, and the secondary profile is removed. Use this to consolidate duplicate profiles.

get_campaign

Get Campaign

Retrieve detailed information about a specific campaign, including its actions, metrics, and configuration. Optionally fetch campaign metrics with configurable time periods.

suppress_person

Suppress or Unsuppress Person

Suppress or unsuppress a person in your Customer.io workspace. Suppressing a person removes them and prevents them from being re-added. Unsuppressing allows a previously suppressed person to be added back.

trigger_broadcast

Trigger Broadcast

Trigger an API-triggered broadcast to send messages to a wide audience. You set up the broadcast in the Customer.io UI and then trigger it via this action. Broadcasts are ideal for announcements, product launches, event notifications, etc. You can target a segment, a list of customer IDs, or a list of email addresses.

upsert_person

Create or Update Person

Create a new person or update an existing person in your Customer.io workspace. If no person exists with the given identifier, a new person is created. If a person already exists, their attributes are updated. You can set any custom attributes on the person, including email, name, plan, and any other key-value pairs.

get_segment_membership

Get Segment Membership

Retrieve the people who belong to a specific segment. Returns a paginated list of customer IDs in the segment.

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Customerio in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Customerio MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.

Run Customerio through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Customerio and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Customerio tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
