Temway MCP Server

Let your AI assistant design beautiful emails & layouts — in your Temway workspace.

A Model Context Protocol server that turns Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and friends into a visual email & layout authoring studio.

Getting Started · Clients · Tools · Temway


Temway is a visual builder for emails and layouts. This MCP server exposes your Temway workspace to any MCP-compatible AI client: the model reads your brand tokens, drafts a promo / newsletter / welcome email, previews it, publishes it, and even sends a test — all through natural language. No code, no drag-and-drop, no copy-pasting HTML.

It is a hosted remote MCP server. You point your client at a URL with an API key (or OAuth for web clients) — there is nothing to install, build, or run locally. The server speaks the MCP Streamable HTTP transport.

🔒 No source here? Correct. This is the public onboarding repo for the Temway MCP server. The server is operated by Temway and runs at https://mcp.temway.com/mcp. This repo holds client configuration, tool reference, and connectivity helpers. Report issues / request tools in Issues.

How it works

Your AI client (Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor / Desktop)
  └─ MCP over HTTPS  →  https://mcp.temway.com/mcp
                         Authorization: Bearer tmw_live_…   ← API key
                         (or OAuth token for web connectors)
                              └─ Temway public API  →  your workspace

The model authenticates per-request, then drives your workspace through brand-aware templates, block mutations, layout artwork, live previews, and publishing.

Getting started

1. Get an API key

API keys are minted by a team admin in the Temway dashboard. The key:

  • starts with tmw_live_…
  • is bound to one workspace
  • carries scopes (emails:read, emails:write, layouts:read, layouts:write) that gate which tools succeed

Store it securely — it's shown once.

2. Point your client at the server

The endpoint and a ready-to-paste config for each client are in examples/. The short version:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http temway https://mcp.temway.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer tmw_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

That's it. The workspace is derived from the key.

3. Ask your assistant

"Create a promo email for our summer sale, 25% off, brand colors, a big CTA button, preview it, then publish it."

The model will get_branding → create_email → apply_template → update_block → preview_email_web → publish_email for you.

Configure your client

The Temway server speaks the Streamable HTTP transport. Pick your client:

ClientConfigFile
Claude Codeclaude mcp add --transport http …examples/claude-code.md
Claude DesktopmcpServers JSONexamples/claude-desktop.json
claude.ai (web)OAuth connector URLexamples/claude-ai-web.md
ChatGPTOAuth connector URLexamples/chatgpt.md
CursorMCP settingsexamples/cursor.md
Any MCP clientStreamable HTTP URLexamples/generic.json
Authentication

Two credential types — both resolve onto the same workspace context:

  • tmw_live_… API keys — for desktop & programmatic clients (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, scripts). Sent as Authorization: Bearer tmw_live_…. The workspace is derived from the key. Scope-bound.
  • OAuth 2.1 — for hosted web connectors (claude.ai, ChatGPT) that reject static keys. No header to paste — the user signs in and picks a workspace on the consent screen; the connector receives its own short-lived token (PKCE / S256). Just enter the URL https://mcp.temway.com/mcp.

Tools

The server exposes 58 tools across five groups. Reads need a *:read scope; mutations need *:write.

Discovery & context — brand tokens, schemas, catalogs

ToolWhat it does
get_brandingFetch workspace brand tokens (colors, fonts, logo, socials, footer).
list_block_types / get_block_schemaEmail block catalog + per-block editable fields.
list_layout_element_types / get_element_schemaLayout element catalog + fields.
get_universal_schemaGlobal email style fields.
list_templatesCurated email starter templates.
list_fontsUsable fonts (web-safe for emails; + Google/custom for layouts).
list_concepts / get_conceptMental-model concept docs (read before authoring).
list_layout_templatesCurated layout artwork starters.
list_shape_presets / list_style_presetsDecorative SVG library + style keys.

Emails — author, mutate, preview, publish, send

ToolWhat it does
list_emails / get_emailBrowse & read published/draft emails.
create_email / update_email / delete_email / duplicate_emailCRUD.
create_email_from_layoutSeed an email from a published layout.
set_content / validate_contentReplace whole content / validate before saving.
add_block / update_block / remove_block / move_blockIncremental block edits.
set_universalMerge global email styles.
apply_templateApply a brand-aware starter template.
preview_email_webFast web-target preview (preferred while iterating).
preview_email_htmlInbox-target MJML HTML (slower; verifies client rendering).
publish_emailRender + store; marks the email published.
test_send_emailSend a one-off test copy to an address.

Layouts — free-form pixel-perfect artwork canvas

ToolWhat it does
list_layouts / get_layoutBrowse & read layouts.
create_layout / update_layout / delete_layout / duplicate_layoutCRUD.
set_layout_contentReplace the whole layout descriptor.
add_layout_element / update_layout_element / remove_layout_elementElement edits (absolute positioning).
add_custom_shape / add_shape_presetBespoke SVG or curated decorative shapes.
apply_layout_templateApply a layout starter (hero-banner, promo-card, …).
fit_canvas_to_contentTighten canvas bounds to visible elements.
publish_layoutSnapshot for embedding in emails.

Note: layouts rasterize to a single PNG when embedded in an email (text not selectable). Author readable/clickable content as email blocks instead.

Concurrency locks — prevent clobbering on shared resources

acquire_* / get_*_lock_status / refresh_*_lock / release_*_lock / force_release_*_lock for both email and layout resources.

Block/element mutations are not atomic — never fire two on the same resource in parallel. Acquire the edit-lock first on shared resources.

Search & fetch

ToolWhat it does
searchSearch the workspace for emails/layouts by name/subject/tags.
fetchFetch the full content of a search result by id.
A typical authoring flow
get_branding
→ create_email { name: "Spring sale" }
→ apply_template { template: "promo" }        # brand-aware starter
→ update_block / add_block                    # tweak copy, CTA, colors
→ preview_email_web                           # fast preview (preferred)
→ publish_email                               # renders + marks published
→ test_send_email { to: "me@example.com" }    # optional real send

Environment variables

The hosted endpoint is fully managed — most users never touch env vars. They only matter if you self-host or run the stdio transport.

VarPurposeRequired?
TEMWAY_API_URLTemway API base URL.Only when self-hosting.
TEMWAY_API_KEYtmw_live_… key (stdio transport).stdio only.
TEMWAY_WORKSPACE_IDWorkspace id (stdio transport; HTTP derives from key).stdio only.
LOG_LEVELpino log level (default info).no

Connectivity check

Verify the endpoint is reachable from your network before wiring up a client:

node scripts/healthcheck.mjs
# → OK 200 OK (926ms)
# → ✓ Temway MCP endpoint is reachable.

(npx temway-mcp-healthcheck once published, or npm run healthcheck.)

Self-hosting

This repo does not contain server source. If you need to run the server yourself (on-prem, air-gapped, custom auth), contact hi@temway.com or open an issue.

FAQ

Is this open source?

The server is operated by Temway (source currently private). This repo is the public integration surface: client configs, tool reference, and helpers, published under the MIT license so you can copy configs freely.

Do I need to install Node / npm / anything?

No. The hosted remote transport means your client connects over HTTPS by URL — nothing runs locally. The optional healthcheck.mjs needs Node ≥ 18.17.

Which client should I use?

For local/CLI work: Claude Code or Cursor. For no-install browser use: claude.ai or ChatGPT with the OAuth connector. All configs are in examples/.

How are my emails protected from the model?

Credentials are scope-bound per key (*:read / *:write). Reads never mutate; every mutation is explicit. Narrow scopes to a read-only key for safe browsing.
