Once Botdog is connected (see the Quickstart), you talk to it in plain language. You never name a tool — the assistant reads your intent and calls the right tool for you. The prompts below are starting points; rephrase them however you like.
The tool name shown after each prompt is what the assistant calls under the hood. You don’t type it.

​
Explore your campaigns

“Show me all my Botdog campaigns.”
→ list_campaigns
“Which of my campaigns are still active?”
→ list_campaigns (status filter)
“Give me the full details and current status of my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign.”
→ list_campaigns → get_campaign
“How is ‘Q2 Founders’ doing — invites sent, acceptance rate, replies, profile visits?”
→ get_campaign_statistics

​
Analyze performance

“What were my outreach numbers over the last 30 days?”
→ get_analytics
“Chart my daily invites and replies from May 1 to May 28.”
→ get_analytics_daily
“Break down the last 7 days by team member — who’s getting the most replies?”
→ get_analytics_by_user
“Compare my acceptance rate over the last 7 days against the last 30 days and tell me if it’s trending up.”
→ get_analytics (two periods, then the assistant compares)

​
Look up your team

“List everyone on my Botdog team.”
→ list_users
“Which of my team members have a LinkedIn account connected?”
→ list_users → get_user (per member)
“Show my team’s profile and plan.”
→ get_team

​
Add leads to a campaign

Write actions require the mcp.write scope (see Scopes). They touch a live outreach campaign, so the assistant confirms the campaign and the lead list with you before sending.
“Add these LinkedIn profiles as leads to my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign: linkedin.com/in/jane-doe, linkedin.com/in/john-roe.”
→ add_leads_to_campaign
“Find my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign, then add john@acme.com and linkedin.com/in/jane-doe as leads.”
→ list_campaigns → get_campaign → add_leads_to_campaign

​
Work your inbox

“Who replied to me this week?”
→ list_replies
“Show me only my unread replies.”
→ list_replies (unread filter)
“Show unread replies on my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign and summarize what each person wants.”
→ list_replies (campaign + unread filter)
“Pull up the full record for linkedin.com/in/jane-doe — has she replied, what was her last message?”
→ get_lead

​
Inspect a campaign’s leads

“List the leads in my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign.”
→ get_leads_from_campaign
“Which leads in ‘Q2 Founders’ have replied so far?”
→ get_leads_from_campaign (reply filter)
“Show me the leads that errored out in ‘Q2 Founders’.”
→ get_leads_from_campaign (status filter)

​
Build and manage lists

“Create a new list called ‘Hot Replies’.”
→ create_list
“Add these profiles to my ‘Hot Replies’ list: linkedin.com/in/jane-doe, linkedin.com/in/john-roe.”
→ add_leads_to_list
“What lists do I have, and how many leads are in each?”
→ list_lists
“Show me everyone in my ‘Hot Replies’ list.”
→ get_leads_from_list
“Remove linkedin.com/in/john-roe from my ‘Hot Replies’ list.”
→ delete_leads_from_list

​
Control live campaigns

Write actions require the mcp.write scope (see Scopes) and touch live outreach, so the assistant confirms with you first.
“Pause my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign.”
→ pause_campaign
“Resume ‘Q2 Founders’.”
→ resume_campaign
“Stop reaching out to linkedin.com/in/john-roe in my ‘Q2 Founders’ campaign — he asked to be left alone.”
→ stop_lead_in_campaign

​
Check your sender accounts

“Which LinkedIn accounts are connected, and are any of them disconnected?”
→ list_linkedin_accounts

​
Connect your stack with webhooks

“Create a webhook to POST new replies to https://hooks.myapp.com/botdog.”
→ create_webhook
“List my webhooks.”
→ list_webhooks
“Point my ‘CRM sync’ webhook at a new URL.”
→ update_webhook
“Delete the webhook I set up last week.”
→ list_webhooks → delete_webhook

​
Set up the API in your own code

The MCP server can also explain how to call the Botdog REST API from your codebase — base URL, API-key auth, a ready-to-paste snippet, and the list of supported operations.
“How do I set up the Botdog API in my Node project?”
→ get_api_setup_guide (language: node)
“Give me a curl example for authenticating to the Botdog API.”
→ get_api_setup_guide (language: curl)
“Show me a Python snippet to list my campaigns via the API.”
→ get_api_setup_guide (language: python)
“What operations does the Botdog API support?”
→ get_api_setup_guide

​
Multi-step workflows

The assistant can chain tools to answer one question. A few that work well:
“Find my worst-performing active campaign this month and explain why.”
→ list_campaigns → get_campaign_statistics → get_analytics
“Pull reply rate by teammate for the last 30 days and summarize who might need coaching.”
→ get_analytics_by_user
“Audit my account: list active campaigns, show each one’s acceptance and reply rate, and flag any below 20%.”
→ list_campaigns → get_campaign_statistics (per campaign)
“Find everyone who replied to ‘Q2 Founders’ this week and put them in a new ‘Hot Replies’ list.”
→ list_replies → get_lead (per reply, for the LinkedIn URL) → create_list → add_leads_to_list
“Pause every active campaign with an acceptance rate under 15%.”
→ list_campaigns → get_campaign_statistics (per campaign) → pause_campaign

​
Ideas to try

Higher-leverage ways teams use the Botdog MCP server:
  • Daily inbox triage. “Summarize my unread replies and group them by intent (interested / not now / wrong person).” The assistant reads list_replies and does the sorting — your morning queue in one prompt.
  • Reply-to-list pipelines. Turn positive replies into a segmented audience (list_replies → get_lead → create_list → add_leads_to_list) you can export, enroll, or hand to sales.
  • Performance autopilot. “Audit my campaigns and pause anything underperforming” combines analytics with pause_campaign so you stop wasting sender capacity on dead campaigns.
  • CRM / Slack sync. Wire create_webhook to your own endpoint and push reply events into HubSpot, a Slack channel, or an internal dashboard — no polling.
  • Compliance & opt-outs. “Stop outreach to this person everywhere” via find_leads_by_linkedin_url → stop_lead_in_campaign (once per campaign) keeps unsubscribe requests honored without logging into the app.
  • Sender health checks. “Are any of my LinkedIn senders disconnected?” (list_linkedin_accounts) catches stalled accounts before they tank a campaign.
  • Works from any MCP client. The same prompts run in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Clay, n8n, or Make — so you can embed these flows into automations, not just chat.
