AI Assistant (MCP)

A plain-language rundown of every action available through the Teeinblue AI Assistant (MCP) — for building campaigns, browsing your design library, publishing to stores, and handling orders. No coding knowledge needed; just find the job you want done and use the same example prompt.


Getting Started


Connect an MCP-compatible assistant — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, a Claude.ai custom connector, Cursor, or any other client that speaks Streamable HTTP MCP — directly to your TeeinBlue account.


  1. Get an API token. Open your TeeinBlue account's API Tokens settings, create a new token, and grant it the mcp:access ability. That single ability unlocks every tool in this guide. Copy the token now — it's shown once.
  2. Point your client at the endpoint in the portal Ai Assistant MCP, with the token as a bearer header.
  3. Verify. Ask your assistant "What campaigns do I have on TeeinBlue?" — it should call list-campaigns-tool and return your data.


Below are all the actions the AI Assistant (MCP) can perform
