Get a user's preference for a specific subscription topic.
get_user_preferences
Get a user's notification preferences (subscriptions, opt-outs, channel preferences).
get_user_profile_by_id
Get a user profile by their ID. Returns profile data including email, phone, and custom properties.
get_user_push_token

list_user_tenants

bulk
add_bulk_users
Add users to an existing bulk job.
bulk_add_user_tenants
Add a user to multiple tenants at once. A custom profile can be supplied per tenant.
bulk_add_user_tokens
Add multiple push/device tokens for a user in one request. Overwrites matching existing tokens.
bulk_replace_user_preferences
Replace a user's complete set of preference overrides in one request. The topics in the body become the recipient's entire override set: listed topics are created or updated, and every existing override not included is reset to its topic default. An empty `topics` array clears all overrides. Validation-atomic (all-or-nothing).
bulk_subscribe_to_list
Replace all subscribers on a list with the given recipients.
bulk_update_user_preferences
Additively create or update a user's preferences for one or more topics in a single request. Only the topics in the body are touched; existing overrides for other topics are left untouched. Partial-success: valid topics are written and returned in `items`, unapplicable ones collected in `errors`.
create_bulk_job
Create a new bulk job for sending messages to multiple recipients. Workflow: create_bulk_job → add_bulk_users → run_bulk_job.
get_bulk_job
Get the status of a bulk job.
list_bulk_users
List the users in a bulk job.
run_bulk_job
Run a bulk job, triggering delivery to all added users.
tenant
create_or_update_tenant
Create or replace a tenant. Tenants represent organizations or groups that users belong to.
delete_tenant
Delete a tenant by its ID.
delete_tenant_preference
Remove default notification preference for a topic from a tenant.
delete_tenant_template
Delete a tenant notification template. Returns 204 on success, 404 if the template does not exist for this tenant.
get_tenant
Get a tenant by its ID.
get_tenant_template
Get a tenant notification template association by template ID.
get_tenant_template_version
Get a specific version of a tenant notification template (e.g. latest, published, or v1).
list_tenant_templates
List notification templates configured for a tenant.
list_tenant_users
List users associated with a tenant.
update_tenant_preference
Set the default notification preference for a subscription topic on a tenant. This controls tenant-level defaults — it does NOT set per-user preferences (use the user preferences API for that). The topic_id must already exist as a subscription topic in the workspace; a 404 means the topic has not been created yet. Example: { tenant_id: "acme", topic_id: "marketing-updates", status: "OPTED_IN", has_custom_routing: true, custom_routing: ["email", "push"] }.
replace
create_or_replace_user_push_token

replace_journey_template
Replace the draft of a journey-scoped notification template. Full document replacement. Call publish_journey_template afterwards to make it live.

replace_tenant_template
Create or replace a tenant notification template (draft unless published is true).
journey
create_journey
Create a new journey. Defaults to DRAFT state. Send nodes are not allowed on create — create the shell with a trigger node, then call replace_journey to add send nodes after linking notification templates. Call publish_journey to make it live. Node ids are server-generated; do NOT include an id field. Example: { name: "Welcome Journey", nodes: [{ type: "trigger", trigger_type: "api-invoke" }], enabled: true }.
create_journey_template

Example: { journey_id: "j-abc", channel: "email", notification: { name: "Welcome Email", tags: [], brand: null, subscription: null, content: { version: "2022-01-01", elements: [{ type: "text", content: "Hello!" }] } } }.

archive_preference_topic

archive_routing_strategy

To send with this template you must publish it first via publish_notification (or pass state: 'PUBLISHED' on create). Link a routing strategy via notification.routing.strategy_id to control which channels are used. Example: { notification: { name: 'welcome-email', tags: [], brand: null, subscription: null, routing: { strategy_id: 'rs_01abc' }, content: { version: '2022-01-01', elements: [] } } }.

Courier — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Courier do?
It exposes 144 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_bulk_users, add_subscribers_to_list, add_user_to_tenant, archive_journey, archive_journey_template, archive_notification and 138 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Courier mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around user, tenant and bulk. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Courier working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 627 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Courier still maintained?
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Courier?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Courier need an API key?
No. Courier completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 144 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Courier?
It answers our handshake in 627 ms on average, which is faster than 15% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Courier open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
