cli-anything-mailchimp

Identity

An agent-native CLI for the Mailchimp Marketing API v3.0, built on the CLI-Anything framework.

What This CLI Does

• Manage audiences (lists) — create, update, delete lists; add/update/archive members; manage merge fields, segments, tags, and webhooks.
• Run campaigns — create, schedule, send, pause, replicate, and analyse email campaigns.
• Read reports — open rates, click rates, bounce stats, unsubscribes, email activity, geographic data.
• Control automations — create and manage automated email workflows.
• Manage e-commerce — stores, orders, customers, products, carts, and promo codes.
• Use templates, file manager, landing pages, SMS campaigns, surveys, and all other Marketing API resources.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• MAILCHIMP_API_KEY environment variable set to your API key (including datacenter suffix, e.g. abc123-us8)

JSON Output

All commands support --json at the root level:

# List all audiences as JSON
cli-anything-mailchimp --json lists list

# Get a campaign report as JSON
cli-anything-mailchimp --json reports get abc123def

# Pipe to jq — use the native Mailchimp field name for the resource
cli-anything-mailchimp --json lists list | jq '.lists[].name'
cli-anything-mailchimp --json campaigns list | jq '.campaigns[].id'

Envelope shapes (native Mailchimp API response — use the resource-specific key):

// List endpoints — key matches the resource name (lists, campaigns, members, etc.)
{"lists": [...], "total_items": 42, "_links": [...]}
{"campaigns": [...], "total_items": 10, "_links": [...]}

// Single resource GET / POST / PATCH
{"id": "abc123", "name": "My List", ...}

// DELETE
{"ok": true, "message": "Deleted."}

// Error
{"ok": false, "message": "Resource Not Found: ...", "data": {...}}

Common Agent Patterns

# Get account health
cli-anything-mailchimp --json ping | jq '.health_status'

# List all audience IDs and names
cli-anything-mailchimp --json lists list | jq '.lists[] | {id, name}'

# Find all subscribed members in an audience
cli-anything-mailchimp --json lists list-lists-id-members <list_id> --status subscribed | jq '.members[].email_address'

# Create a campaign and get its send checklist
cli-anything-mailchimp --json campaigns create --data '{"type":"regular","settings":{"subject_line":"Hello","from_name":"Me","reply_to":"me@example.com"}}' | jq '.id'
cli-anything-mailchimp --json campaigns list-send-checklist <campaign_id> | jq '.items[] | select(.result == false)'

# Get unsubscribes for a sent campaign
cli-anything-mailchimp --json reports list-unsubscribed <campaign_id> | jq '.unsubscribes[].email_address'

# Add a member to an audience (subscriber hash = MD5 of lowercased email)
cli-anything-mailchimp --json lists create-members <list_id> --data '{"email_address":"user@example.com","status":"subscribed"}'

# Search for a member across all audiences
cli-anything-mailchimp --json search-members list --query "user@example.com" | jq '.exact_matches.members[]'

Interactive REPL

Run cli-anything-mailchimp with no arguments to enter the REPL:

◆  cli-anything · Mailchimp
   v0.1.0
   Type help for commands, quit to exit

◆ mailchimp ❯ ping
  ✓ {"health_status": "Everything's Chimpy!"}

◆ mailchimp ❯ --json lists list
{"lists": [...], "total_items": 3, "_links": [...]}

◆ mailchimp ❯ quit

Notes

• Subscriber hash: Mailchimp identifies members by the MD5 hash of their lowercased email. Compute with python -c "import hashlib; email='email@example.com'; print(hashlib.md5(email.strip().lower().encode()).hexdigest())".
• Body payloads: All POST/PATCH/PUT commands accept --data '<json>'. See Mailchimp API docs for the schema of each endpoint.
• Datacenter: Your API key ends in -us8, -eu2, etc. The CLI extracts this automatically — include it in MAILCHIMP_API_KEY.
• Rate limits: The Marketing API rate-limits at 10 concurrent connections and a rolling per-account limit. For bulk operations, use the batches group.
