@woodpecker show me the open rate and reply rate for my 'Q1 Outreach' campaign over the last 30 days
Campaign 'Q1 Outreach' sent 847 emails in the last 30 days. Open rate: 42.3% (358 opens). Reply rate: 8.1% (69 replies). Bounce rate: 2.4%. The campaign is currently active with 112 prospects in the sequence. Peak engagement occurred on weekdays between 9-11 AM EST. This is an illustrative summary — actual metrics depend on your account's campaign configuration and tracking settings.
This example demonstrates read access to campaign analytics. Requires an API key with read permissions for campaign data. Woodpecker tracks engagement asynchronously, so metrics may lag by a few minutes. Useful for quick performance checks without opening the dashboard.
@woodpecker add sarah.chen@example.com to the 'Product Demo Follow-up' campaign and set a custom variable PRODUCT_NAME to 'Enterprise Plan'
Added sarah.chen@example.com to campaign 'Product Demo Follow-up'. Custom variable PRODUCT_NAME set to 'Enterprise Plan'. The prospect will enter the sequence at step 1 and receive the first email according to the campaign's sending schedule (next send window: tomorrow 10:00 AM EST). This is an illustrative confirmation — actual behavior depends on your campaign's active status and sending rules.
This example shows write access to add prospects and set merge tags. Requires API key with write permissions. The MCP cannot validate email deliverability or check for duplicates across campaigns — you may add the same contact twice if not careful. Side-effect: the contact will start receiving automated emails immediately per your campaign schedule.
@woodpecker review all campaigns with reply rates below 5% this month and suggest which ones I should pause or revise
Found 3 campaigns with sub-5% reply rates in the last 30 days: 'Cold Intro Series' (2.1%, 412 sent), 'Webinar Invite' (3.8%, 289 sent), 'Partnership Outreach' (4.2%, 156 sent). The AI suggests pausing 'Cold Intro Series' — its open rate is also low (18%), indicating subject line or targeting issues. 'Webinar Invite' has a 51% open rate but poor reply conversion; consider A/B testing the call-to-action. 'Partnership Outreach' is borderline; wait another week for statistical significance. This is an illustrative analysis combining Woodpecker metrics with AI reasoning.
This example pairs campaign data retrieval with the AI's analytical reasoning. The MCP fetches raw metrics; the AI interprets trends and makes recommendations. Useful for strategic reviews, but the AI cannot access email content or A/B test history — its suggestions are based solely on aggregate performance numbers you provide or it retrieves.
Use-case deep-dives
When Woodpecker Co fits a 2-person sales team running email sequences
A two-person sales team running cold outreach campaigns needs to track opens, replies, and follow-up timing without leaving their AI workspace. Woodpecker Co's MCP works if your sequences are already configured in Woodpecker and you need read-only visibility during daily standup or prospect reviews. The API key auth means setup takes under two minutes. The trade-off: if you're building sequences from scratch or need to adjust cadence mid-campaign, you'll still open the Woodpecker dashboard—this MCP is for monitoring, not authoring. If your team sends fewer than 500 cold emails a week and reviews performance in Switchy during morning sync, this integration keeps context in one place without tab-switching.
Use Woodpecker Co's MCP to surface email engagement in CS reviews
A four-person customer success team reviews accounts weekly and needs to see which onboarding emails customers opened or ignored. Woodpecker Co's MCP pulls engagement data into Switchy so the team can correlate email behavior with support tickets or product usage during account reviews. This works when your CS emails are already templated in Woodpecker and you want a single workspace view of outreach performance. The limit: if your team needs to trigger one-off emails or adjust templates on the fly, you'll still need the Woodpecker UI—this MCP surfaces data, it doesn't compose. If your CS process includes a weekly email-engagement check and you're tired of switching between Woodpecker and your notes, this integration closes that gap.
When Woodpecker Co helps a solo BD operator review what landed
A solo business development operator runs partnership outreach campaigns and wants to review which subject lines or follow-up timings drove replies. Woodpecker Co's MCP lets you pull campaign stats into Switchy during monthly retrospectives without exporting CSVs or opening multiple tabs. This makes sense if you're running 3-5 active campaigns and want to compare performance in a shared workspace where you're already drafting next month's strategy. The boundary: if you need real-time alerts or want to pause a campaign mid-flight, you'll still use Woodpecker directly—this MCP is for analysis, not live campaign management. If you spend an hour each month reviewing what worked and planning the next batch, this integration keeps that work in Switchy.
Frequently asked
What does the Woodpecker Co MCP do in Switchy?
The Woodpecker Co MCP connects your Woodpecker cold email campaigns to Switchy's AI workspace. Your team can query campaign stats, check prospect status, and pull delivery metrics without leaving the chat interface. It's useful for sales teams who want AI assistance analyzing outreach performance or drafting follow-up sequences based on real campaign data.
Do I need admin access to connect Woodpecker Co?
You need a Woodpecker API key, which any account owner can generate from the Woodpecker settings panel. Standard team members can't create API keys — only admins or account owners. Once you paste the key into Switchy, the MCP authenticates directly with Woodpecker's API. No OAuth redirect or additional permissions required.
Can the Woodpecker MCP send emails or edit campaigns?
Not yet. The current MCP is read-only: it pulls campaign stats, prospect lists, and delivery reports. You can't trigger sends, pause campaigns, or update email copy through Switchy. For those actions, log into Woodpecker directly or use their native API. We're considering write operations in a future release if demand warrants it.
Why use this instead of just checking Woodpecker's dashboard?
The MCP lets AI agents pull Woodpecker data into Switchy conversations, so you can ask questions like "which campaign has the highest reply rate this month" and get an answer instantly. It's faster than switching tabs and manually filtering the dashboard. You also get the benefit of combining Woodpecker metrics with data from other MCPs in a single AI-powered workspace.
Who on the team should connect the Woodpecker MCP?
Whoever owns your Woodpecker account or has API key access. Once connected, all Switchy workspace members can query the data through AI — they don't need their own Woodpecker logins. The API key is stored securely in Switchy and doesn't count against your Woodpecker seat limit, since it's a machine credential.
