# Newsletter Growth MCP

**Growth loops, welcome sequences, and monetization readiness for the only audience you actually own.**

> **Disclaimer.** Practitioner frameworks; thresholds are ranges, not guarantees. The author runs paid per-click sponsorships on her own list — these are the numbers sponsors actually pay on.

## Why This Exists

Platform followers are rented; the list is owned. But most creators (and their AI agents) treat the newsletter as a broadcast afterthought: no welcome sequence, no growth loop, monetization guesses based on list size instead of engagement.

The house rule: **engagement monetizes; size impresses.** A 520-person list at 43% opens out-earns a 10k list at 12%.

## 6 Tools

| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
| `get_growth_loop` | 5 growth loops (lead magnet, social repurpose, cross-promo, referral, sponsorship swap) with when each wins and its failure mode |
| `get_welcome_sequence` | The 6-email architecture: deliver → receipt → quick win → segment → soft offer → close |
| `audit_subject_line` | PASS/NEEDS WORK: truncation length, spam phrases, fake Re:, specificity |
| `interpret_list_metric` | Healthy/warning ranges + diagnostics for opens, clicks, growth, unsubs, replies |
| `get_monetization_readiness` | Given your list size + engagement: readiness verdicts for own product, per-click sponsorships, flat placements |
| `get_full_pack` | Everything in one payload |
