Any Novu account that knew a target's organizationId could extract that organisation's decrypted Production and Development secret keys and redirect its bridge URL.

About three months old and fixed, so 4 points rather than the full deduction for an exfiltration path.

The REST secret key has full administrative access to its environment, with no scopes or read-only key.\n\n**Pingram.** Email and SMS go out through one REST call with built-in delivery, per-message prices are public and the free tier needs no card. No rate limits or idempotency keys were found in the reviewed documentation, and the MCP connector acts with the signed-in user's whole account.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Novu\n\n1. Send `Authorization: ApiKey \u003ckey\u003e` to the REST API. Bearer is for the MCP server\n2. Ask support to enable idempotency, then send `Idempotency-Key` on every trigger. A 409 means the first call is still running\n3. Use eu.api.novu.co and eu.mcp.novu.co for an EU account. A US key won't authenticate there\n4. Pass `environmentId` from `get_environments` on MCP calls. OAuth sessions default to Development\n5. Keep `limit` at 100 or below on list calls. Higher values return 422\n\n### Pingram\n\n1. Use the API host for the account's region. The key and region (`us`, `eu` or `ca`) come from the API Keys page in the dashboard\n2. Keep the `trackingId` from each send and check Logs before retrying. No idempotency key was found, so a blind retry can send twice\n3. Pass `accountId` on MCP tools when the user belongs to several accounts. Without it the tools use the earliest account joined\n4. Create broadcasts as drafts only. Pingram's own skill says a person must send a broadcast from the dashboard\n5. Expect 402 when the monthly budget is spent. Unused balance does not roll over\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Novu or Pingram?\n\nNovu scores 64.2 (B) on agent readiness against Pingram's 57.4 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Novu and Pingram need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Novu and Pingram without installing anything?\n\nYes. Novu has a hosted endpoint at https://api.novu.co/v1 and Pingram at https://mcp.pingram.io.\n\n### Are Novu and Pingram open source?\n\nNovu is open source (MIT (core), commercial licence for the enterprise directories).
