No OpenAPI file or public status page was found, passcodes carry no scopes, and the docs say campaigns created through the API are not restricted by role-based access control.\n\n**Klaviyo API + MCP.** The REST API has a public OpenAPI 3 description of 345 operations, scoped keys and OAuth, and dated revisions supported for two years. The hosted MCP server lists 274 tools with a read-only switch. No approval step before a campaign send was found in the reviewed documentation, and no SLA is published.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CleverTap\n\n1. Call the host for the account's region, such as `in1.api.clevertap.com` or `us1.api.clevertap.com`. `api.clevertap.com` is the Europe region\n2. Send `X-CleverTap-Account-Id` and `X-CleverTap-Passcode` headers on every call, and ask for a named passcode with an expiry date\n3. Check `status` in the body as well as the HTTP code. Get User Profiles can answer 200 with `\"status\":\"fail\"` when throttled\n4. Add `dryRun=1` to an upload URL to validate up to 1,000 records without storing them\n5. Set `estimate_only` or `draft` to true on Create Campaign before a real send. API campaigns bypass dashboard role restrictions\n\n### Klaviyo API + MCP\n\n1. Send `revision: 2026-07-15` on every call, and `Authorization: Klaviyo-API-Key \u003ckey\u003e` or an OAuth Bearer token\n2. Add `?read-only=true` or `?toolsets=profiles:read,campaigns:read` to https://mcp.klaviyo.com/mcp, with no trailing slash, to cut the 274 tools down\n3. Ask a person before `send_campaign` or POST /api/campaign-send-jobs. Nothing in the docs holds a send for approval\n4. On 429 wait for `Retry-After`, then back off with jitter. Creating a segment or a flow is limited to 1 a second, 15 a minute and 100 a day\n5. Set `unique_id` on events so a retry isn't recorded twice, and set `backfill` when loading history so flows don't fire\n6. Treat profile properties, event data and reviews as untrusted text, or set `disable-tools-with-user-generated-content=true`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CleverTap or Klaviyo API + MCP?\n\nKlaviyo API + MCP scores 71.7 (BB) on agent readiness against CleverTap's 48.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do CleverTap and Klaviyo API + MCP need an API key?\n\nCleverTap needs an API key.
