Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with Kit (formerly ConvertKit) and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.

Email marketing for creators, with automations, landing pages and digital product sales. The Kit MCP, included from the Creator plan, lets AI clients read and write subscribers, sequences, broadcasts and tags, and asks for confirmation before sends or deletes.

Best for
  • Creators selling digital products
  • Automated email sequences
Not for
  • Developer-driven transactional email

Top use cases

  • Manage subscribers, tags and sequences from an AI client over MCP source ↗
  • Import a subscriber list from a CSV with tags source ↗

In depth

Plans

Kit's Free plan covers up to 10,000 subscribers. At 1,000 subscribers, Creator is $390 billed yearly (about $33/month) and adds the Kit MCP and visual automations; Pro was shown with a limited first-year discount. Prices rise with list size. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗

MCP safeguards

Read operations run without prompts. Sending broadcasts, deleting data and other destructive or external actions always need explicit user confirmation in supported clients. source ↗

How to use it with AI

How Kit (formerly ConvertKit) connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
