Hightouch

Hightouch

Hightouch belongs in Atlas because its hosted MCP combines customer-data-aware audience and journey design with campaign content generation and performance analysis inside an authenticated workspace.

Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Customer schemas, audiences, journeys, campaign concepts, email and SMS content, visual ad creatives, existing Ad Studio projects, and marketing performance context.

02 · Data you can retrieve

Inspect customer schemas and data, browse Ad Studio projects, analyze campaign performance, and iteratively evaluate audience, journey, content, or creative concepts.

03 · Actions and write paths

Create and save audiences, design journeys, generate email or SMS content for Lifecycle Studio, and produce or refine visual creatives in Ad Studio.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Operations run in the user's authenticated Hightouch workspace and inherit existing role-based access controls; the public page does not specify the underlying client authentication exchange.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Workspace RBAC remains authoritative, and Hightouch exposes results for iterative review before saving; destination launch, delivery, or synchronization is not documented as an MCP action.

06 · Limits and caveats

MCP enablement is unavailable in some workspaces. Core audience and analysis capabilities serve enabled customers, while content and creative functions require Lifecycle Studio or Ad Studio.

Agent access

MCP support

Official MCP serverHightouch hosted marketing MCPCurrent documented service

Support: Official MCP server

Read scope: Read customer schema and data context, inspect existing creative projects, compare campaign performance, and evaluate audiences, journeys, content, or campaign concepts conversationally.

Write scope: Create and save audiences, design customer journeys, draft Lifecycle Studio email or SMS content, and generate or refine Ad Studio visual creatives.

Authentication: A compatible MCP client connects to an authenticated Hightouch workspace; the reviewed page confirms workspace scoping but does not publish the token or browser authorization sequence.

Approval boundary: Review audience logic, journey design, content, and creatives before saving; separately approve any downstream synchronization, campaign launch, or delivery because those actions are not documented here.

Protocol does not erase product boundaries.

Confirm the current tool catalog, plan, region, scopes, rate limits, terms, and write behavior before implementation.

Proposed customer-shaped experiences

What customers could create on top.

The output could be an export, report, graph, artifact, application, agent, workflow, or downstream feed. These proposals are derived from documented access—not claims that Hightouch ships them.

Evidence and dates

First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated

“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
