The Daily Repo

marclou / mailcheap

Newsletters where you pay for the emails you send, not for dormant subscribers, at a fraction of the price of beehiiv and the like. Open source: self-host it, or use mailcheap.ai.

Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does

What it does

  • AI agents and the dashboard. Everything the dashboard does also works from an AI agent through the MCP server, and from code through the REST API, with the same checks and limits. ChatGPT, Claude and Grok Bot connect with OAuth; Claude Code
  • Write, review, send. Write in an editor with slash commands, images and boxes, or send Markdown or a complete HTML email through the API and MCP. Review shows what to fix before sending: subject, preview text, unsubscribe link, Gmail's 100
  • Imports from beehiiv, Substack and Mailchimp. Their CSV exports import as they are, with each reader's status and signup date, and so do Kit's, MailerLite's, Buttondown's, Ghost's, EmailOctopus's and listmonk's.
  • A website for each newsletter, on a free subdomain on MailCheap Cloud (.mailcheap.ai), or on your server: every issue gets a page search engines can find, with a signup form, an author page, share images and a sitemap.
  • Sending from your own domain, with the DKIM, return path and DMARC records to add and a check for each. On MailCheap Cloud, a newsletter without a domain sends from its own shared address, [email protected].
