Tool configuration

Before you start

You need a Brevo MCP token:

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop is Anthropic’s desktop app for Claude.

Configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brevo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer ${BREVO_MCP_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BREVO_MCP_TOKEN": "paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. Tools will appear in the tool picker.

Claude Code (CLI)

Claude Code is Anthropic’s command-line tool for Claude.

The simplest way is to use the CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user brevo https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer paste-your-mcp-token-here"

Alternatively, add the server manually to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brevo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer ${BREVO_MCP_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BREVO_MCP_TOKEN": "paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the server is registered:

Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor with native MCP support.

Configuration file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brevo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after saving.

Windsurf

Windsurf is an AI-native IDE by Codeium.

Configuration file: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brevo": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

VS Code supports MCP servers through GitHub Copilot.

Configuration file: .vscode/mcp.json (per project) or user-level mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "brevo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code extension)

Cline is a VS Code extension for AI-assisted coding.

Configuration file: Open Cline’s MCP settings from the extension panel, or edit cline_mcp_settings.json directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brevo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using individual servers

All examples above use the main server (/v1/brevo/mcp), which includes all features. To use a specific module, replace the URL with the individual server endpoint.

Example — contacts server only in Cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brevo_contacts": {
      "url": "https://mcp.brevo.com/v1/brevo_contacts/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer paste-your-mcp-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
