About

AWeber ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 33 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

AWeber is an email marketing and newsletter platform built around Lists, Subscribers and Broadcasts. This app covers the API’s full v1 surface for those three resources: reading and finding lists, adding, finding, updating, moving and removing subscribers (by ID or by email), tracking e-commerce purchases against a subscriber, and creating, updating, scheduling, cancelling and reading the open/click stats of broadcast newsletters. It also covers list-scoped Tags, Custom Fields and Segments, and the account-level resources every call is scoped under.

Authorization is OAuth 2.0 (AWeber’s older OAuth 1.0a is still accepted by the API but is not implemented here — see the README). Health checks track AWeber’s own status page alongside the credential’s own liveness.

Build with AWeber

Three routes to the same 33 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from AWeber's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Get Account

account-get

Get one AWeber customer account by id.

List Accounts

account-list

List the AWeber customer accounts this connection can access.

Cancel Broadcast

broadcast-cancel

List Broadcast Clicks

broadcast-clicks

Create Broadcast

broadcast-create

Create a draft broadcast newsletter. Provide body_html and/or body_text.

broadcast-delete

Delete a draft broadcast. API-created drafts only.

Get Broadcast

broadcast-get

Get one broadcast by id, including its send stats if it has sent.

Get Custom Field

custom-field-get

Get one custom field definition by id.

List Custom Fields

List Tags

tag-list

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying AWeber's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "aweber-example",
  "steps": [
    {
      "id": "account-get",
      "uses": {

+28 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for AWeber, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to AWeber. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "account-get",
  payload: {
    accountId: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action account-get --payload '{"accountId":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent AWeber — without giving it AWeber's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.aweber#account-get",
    "input": {
      "accountId": "<accountId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's AWeber connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

AWeber's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. AWeber itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

AWeber declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

AWeber platform status

Component status from status.aweber.com. Covers the main site, customer logins, email sending, the API, subscriber sign-ups, sign-up form hosting, image hosting, newsletter archives, customer solutions and landing pages.

quota

Request-rate headroom

Not exposed: AWeber documents its 120 requests/minute limit only in prose and returns no rate-limit headers on any response.
