Waitlister tools (17, 6 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
add_subscriberAdd a new subscriber to a waitlist. Returns their position, referral code, and sign-up token. Idempotent per email: an existing email returns is_new_sign_up: false with their current position, not an error. If the waitlist uses double opt-in or welcome emails, the subscriber is emailed, exactly as with a form signup. Works on every plan.
create_landing_pagewrite actionCreate the waitlist's hosted landing page from structured fields, as a draft (nothing goes live until publish_landing_page). One page per waitlist — returns a 409 error if one already exists (use update_landing_page then). headline is required. Works on every plan. Tip: when creating a new waitlist AND its page, use create_waitlist's landing_page parameter instead — one call.
create_waitlistwrite actionCreate a new waitlist on your Waitlister account (requires an account key, works on every plan within its waitlist cap). Returns the waitlist key and a form_action_url that collects signups immediately. Pass landing_page to also provision the hosted landing page (as a draft — go live with publish_landing_page) in the same call. Note: waitlist names and URL slugs are unique across all of Waitlister
delete_subscriberwrite actionPermanently delete a subscriber (and their email history) from a waitlist by ID or email address. This cannot be undone. Counters and queue positions update asynchronously within a few seconds. Requires the Growth plan or higher.
generate_landing_pageGenerate a complete custom landing page from a natural-language prompt with Waitlister's AI builder (same engine as the dashboard), or edit the existing AI page with is_edit: true. COSTS 1 AI CREDIT per call (shared with the dashboard AI builder; errors with the balance when out of credits) — don't call repeatedly for small tweaks a human should review. Synchronous, typically 20-50 seconds. The re
get_accountCheck the configured API key and what this account may do — the cheapest first call, and the one to make when anything looks misconfigured. Returns the account, the plan name, whether the general API is available, how many waitlists the account has against its cap, whether creating another would succeed right now (can_create — a true dry run, so check it before create_waitlist rather than discover
get_landing_pageGet the structured view of a waitlist's hosted landing page: status (draft/published/unpublished), page_type (standard or ai), copy fields, theme, SEO, the live URL (null until published), and view/signup analytics. AI-built pages also return remaining AI credits. Works on every plan. 404 if the waitlist has no page yet — create one with create_landing_page.
get_statsGet a waitlist's subscriber and view counters. Works on every plan. Counters update asynchronously (within seconds of a signup or delete).
get_subscriberRetrieve detailed information about a specific subscriber by their ID or email address — position, points, referral info, tags, metadata, location, and more. Requires the Growth plan or higher.
list_subscribersRetrieve a paginated list of a waitlist's subscribers (each with its tags), sortable by position, points, date, referral_count, or email, and optionally filtered to one tag. Requires the Growth plan or higher.
list_tagsList a waitlist's subscriber tags (the dashboard's Tags column) and how many subscribers have each. Use these names with list_subscribers' tag filter and update_subscriber's add_tags/remove_tags. Requires the Growth plan or higher.
list_waitlistsList every waitlist your account owns, with subscriber and view counts (requires an account key).
log_viewRecord a view of a waitlist page — useful for tracking engagement and conversion rates when you host your own landing page.
publish_landing_pagewrite actionPublish the landing page to its live URL (https://waitlister.me/p/{slug}, or the waitlist's custom domain), making it publicly visible. Publishing validates the page has an email field, a submit button, and a headline of at least 3 characters. API publishes skip the custom social-share (OG) image; publishing once from the dashboard generates it. To take a page offline, use unpublish_landing_page.
unpublish_landing_pageTake the published landing page offline (status becomes "unpublished"); its URL stops serving the page and stops collecting signups. The page and its subscribers are kept, and publish_landing_page brings it back. Works on every plan.
update_landing_pagewrite actionUpdate any subset of the landing page's structured fields. On a published page the change goes live immediately. IMPORTANT: on an AI-built page (page_type "ai"), the copy/structure fields (headline, description, button_text, collect_name, collect_phone, background) return a 409 error — edit those with generate_landing_page and is_edit: true; theme and seo still work here on both page types. Works
update_subscriberwrite actionUpdate an existing subscriber's name, phone, points, custom metadata, and/or tags. Only include fields you want to change; updating points triggers a queue position recalculation. Tags are named case-insensitively (or by id): add_tags and remove_tags change some, tags replaces the whole set. A tag name the waitlist doesn't have yet is created, so call list_tags first and reuse an existing name rat

What the publisher says
From the Waitlister repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Waitlister MCP Server — @waitlister/mcp
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to the Waitlister API. Create waitlists and manage subscribers through natural language.
This is the official package, superseding waitlister-mcp (1.0.x). Existing waitlister-mcp configurations keep working, but new setups should use @waitlister/mcp — it adds account-key support, waitlist creation, stats, and deletion, and works on every plan.
What Can You Do With This?
Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Is my Waitlister key working, and can I create another waitlist?"
- "Create a waitlist for my new product and give me the signup form URL"
- "Launch my waitlist with a landing page — dark theme — and publish it"
- "Change the page headline to 'Join 500+ others'"
- "Generate a landing page: bold, dev-tool aesthetic" (AI builder, 1 credit)
- "Add test@gmail.com to my waitlist"
- "How many subscribers do I have?"
- "Look up the subscriber john@acme.com"
- "Update John's points to 500"
- "Show me the top 10 subscribers by referral count"
Tools
AI pages vs standard pages: after generatelandingpage, the page's copy lives inside the generated page — updatelandingpage rejects copy/structure fields with guidance to use generatelandingpage + is_edit instead (theme and seo still update normally). Generated pages are saved as drafts, and the AI conversation carries over to the dashboard's AI chat.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- A Waitlister account — the free plan works
- An account API key (recommended), or a per-waitlist API key (Growth plan+)
Getting Your Key
Account key (recommended — works on every plan, covers every waitlist you own):
- Log in to Waitlister
- Go to Settings → API keys → create a key (wlacct…)
Per-waitlist key (legacy, Growth plan+): waitlist → Integrations → API access. You'll also need the waitlist key from the waitlist's settings.
Installation
Using npx (recommended)
No installation needed — just configure your MCP client:
