Use SalesBlink with AI Agents

title: Use SalesBlink with AI Agents
description: Connect any AI agent to SalesBlink using the Agent Skill or MCP.

Overview

SalesBlink works with any AI agent, so you can create lists, launch sequences, check replies, and track campaign performance using natural language. There are two ways to connect:

• Agent Skill: The open-salesblink/skill package adds SalesBlink outreach capabilities to skill-compatible agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, the ChatGPT desktop app, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw. Repository: https://github.com/open-salesblink/skill
• MCP: The SalesBlink MCP server connects any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. It uses OAuth 2.1, so you sign in through your browser instead of creating an API key. See the Connect SalesBlink MCP to Your AI Tool article for the full guide.

Prerequisites

Before you start, confirm you have the following:

• Active SalesBlink account: Sign up at https://run.salesblink.io/signup if you do not have one.
• SalesBlink API key: Retrieve it from SalesBlink Dashboard > Integrations > API.
• An AI agent or MCP-compatible client installed in your environment.

Recommended Setup: Let Your AI Agent Do It

The fastest way to get started is to let your AI agent set up the connection for you.

1. Get your API key from SalesBlink Dashboard > Integrations > API.
2. Paste the following prompt into your AI agent:

Set up a connection to SalesBlink in this environment.

1. Install the official SalesBlink Agent Skill from https://github.com/open-salesblink/skill (npx skills add open-salesblink/skill). If skills are not supported here, configure the SalesBlink MCP server instead using the setup instructions at https://mcp.salesblink.io.
2. Use this SalesBlink API key: <paste-your-api-key>
3. Verify the connection by showing my lists and sequences.
4. Walk me through creating and launching my first cold email sequence with SalesBlink.

Note: Replace <paste-your-api-key> with your actual API key before running the prompt.

Manual Setup

Prefer to set it up yourself? Choose one of the two options below.

Option 1: Connect with the Agent Skill

1. Install the skill in your agent's environment:

npx skills add open-salesblink/skill

2. Set your SalesBlink API key:

export SALESBLINK_API_KEY=your_salesblink_api_key_here

Note: For persistence, add this line to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or .env file.

3. For tool-specific install commands, see the How To Use SalesBlink Agent Skills article.

Option 2: Connect with MCP

1. Add https://mcp.salesblink.io/mcp to your AI client's MCP configuration.
2. Restart the client.
3. Sign in to SalesBlink in your browser and approve the OAuth connection when prompted.

What You Can Do Next

Once connected, try asking your AI agent to:

• "Create a list called Marketing Agencies in New York"
• "Launch the Welcome Sequence to my new list"
• "Show me replies from this week"
• "How many opens did my campaign get yesterday?"
• "Run an inbox placement test for outreach@mycompany.com"
