deployment:
  mode: remote
  endpoint: https://app.kit.com/mcp
  auth: oauth
  verified: probed
  note: Kit ships TWO remote MCP servers and no stdio package. The primary (account-acting) server is
    https://app.kit.com/mcp; a second, anonymous, read-only documentation server is https://developers.kit.com/mcp.
    Both are URLs an MCP client POSTs to — there is nothing to npx or pip install. `endpoint` names the
    account server because that is the one that reaches Kit data; the docs server is recorded in servers[]
    below.

    gated: true
    note: tools/list is OAuth-gated, so the live tool schemas could not be introspected anonymously. Kit's
      own docs state the server is "essentially a one-to-one mapping of Kit's v4 API surface — every endpoint
      in the API reference is exposed as an MCP tool", so the crosswalk in convertkit-tool-crosswalk.yml
      maps the REST surface rather than a fetched tool list, and marks confidence accordingly. Tool names
      and input schemas require an authenticated introspection.

    note: Kit documents that every tool carries an MCP annotation hint, and that destructive or external
      actions (sending broadcasts, deleting data) always require explicit user confirmation in supporting
      clients.

notes:
- The Kit MCP tool catalogue is published in the Kit help centre, not in the developer docs; it is not
  machine-readable and was not fabricated here.
- Kit also ships a first-party Cursor plugin (github.com/Kit/cursor-plugin) that connects a Kit account
  over MCP.
