Integration

EchtPost integration

EchtPost prints real postcards with a real stamp and posts them (from Germany). Manage the address book of contacts and groups, browse postcard motives and saved templates, check that a text fits on a card, create postcards for one or many recipients (from a motive and text or from a template), list, read and cancel cards, and read the account balance and prices. Creating a card with a live key is billed and the card is printed and posted; a sandbox key (prefix ep_test_) stores everything separately and never bills or prints. Uploading a custom motive image (multipart, enabled by support) is not exposed. Authentication is an API key sent in the X-Api-Key header, created under Account, API keys in the EchtPost web app.

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in EchtPost.Built from the 22 EchtPost tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with EchtPost

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Contact, 5 operations

create_contactCreate contactPOSTSave a postal contact in the address book (name, street, zip, city, country and salutation style), optionally into groups. Returns the contact with its id for create_card recipient_ids.
delete_contactDelete contactDELETEPermanently delete a saved contact from the address book, by id.
get_contactGet contactGETRead one saved contact by id: name, postal address, salutation style and rendered greeting; include=groups or include=cards adds its group_ids or card_ids.
list_contactsList contactsGETList address-book contacts, newest first by default; filter by group, country, external id, a substring search or exact name and address fields. Use it to find a contact id for create_card.
update_contactUpdate contactPATCHChange fields of a saved contact; only the fields you send change, the others keep their value (greeting_style included).

Group, 5 operations

create_groupCreate groupPOSTCreate a contact group by name (and an optional external id). Returns the group with its id.
delete_groupDelete groupDELETEDelete a contact group by id. Fails with 409 Conflict while the group still has members.
get_groupGet groupGETRead one contact group by id: name, external id and recipient_count.
list_groupsList groupsGETList contact groups, sorted by name by default, with each group's id and recipient_count. Use a group id as group_ids in create_card to mail every member.
update_groupUpdate groupPATCHRename a contact group or change its external id; leave a field out to keep its current value.

Card, 4 operations

cancel_cardCancel cardDELETECancel a postcard before it reaches the print queue. Cancellation is asynchronous: returns id, status and cancelable; fails with 409 card-not-cancelable once the card is too far along (for example already sent).
create_cardCreate cardPOSTCreate a postcard from a motive and your text, for saved contacts, groups or inline addresses. With a live key it is BILLED, printed and posted. Returns the card with id and status; cancel with cancel_card while cancelable.
get_cardGet cardGETRead one postcard by id: status (pending, scheduled, sent, canceled), delivery date, text, font, number of recipients, whether it can still be canceled, and web_url to its print preview in the EchtPost web app.
list_cardsList cardsGETList your postcards, newest first by default, filtered by status (pending, scheduled, sent, canceled), delivery date or motive. Returns an array of cards with id, status, deliver_at, contacts_count and cancelable.

Motive, 2 operations

get_motiveGet motiveGETRead one postcard motive by id: name, orientation, supported text fields (content, P.S., vertical text, QR code), preview image links and, for a temporary motive, when its images expire or were purged.
list_motivesList motivesGETList postcard motives (front images) available to your account, account-owned first; search by keyword. Returns id, name, orientation, preview_image_url and which text fields each motive supports. Use an id as motive_id in create_card.

Use EchtPost from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect EchtPost in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its EchtPost operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect EchtPost

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect EchtPost once
Add your EchtPost connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
