The pain of Just Listed and Just Sold mailers was never the stamp—it was the 45 minutes of cropping photos, writing copy, buying a neighbor list, and proofing both sides. Hand the entire recipe to an AI connected to Thanks.io.
One-time setup. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Zo, or OpenClaw to https://mcp.thanks.io/mcp using your Personal Access Token.
Paste our 20-line Just Listed / Just Sold skill prompt so your assistant knows the 5 questions to ask, the radius list tool, and the proof guardrail.
From then on, paste a Zillow/MLS link or photo. Your AI designs the front, writes the back note, buys 100 neighbors, and stops at the proof for your 'yes'.
Just Listed and Just Sold postcards work because they land in a neighbor's mailbox the exact week a yard sign goes up or a moving truck pulls onto the street. Every neighbor wonders two things: “How much did it go for?” and “What does that mean for my house?”
The problem is production friction: cropping a listing photo, typesetting a clean banner, writing a handwritten back note that doesn't read like corporate junk mail, purchasing the nearest 100 homeowner addresses, and proofing both sides. Do that manually and you skip half your listings. Hand the workflow to an AI that talks directly to the Thanks.io MCP Server, and your entire job becomes: paste the listing link, approve the proof, say yes.

You are my Just Listed / Just Sold mailer. Anytime I have a new listing or sale, ask me for: 1. Just Listed or Just Sold 2. The property address (street, city, state, ZIP) 3. A photo, a short description, OR a listing URL 4. The URL for the QR code on the back of the card (default to my home-value page if I don't specify one) 5. How many nearest neighbors to mail (default 100) Then, using the thanks.io MCP server: - Pull property facts from the URL if I gave one - Design a 4x6 postcard front (full-bleed photo, bold JUST LISTED / JUST SOLD headline, address + key stats) - Save it as an image template - Write a short handwritten-style neighborhood note using %FIRST_NAME% (never %ADDRESS% — that merge tag prints the neighbor's address, not the listed home) - Save it as a postcard message template - Buy a radius mailing list of the nearest neighbors around the property ZIP - Call preview-order with the image template, message template, mailing list, and qrcode_url - Show me the front + back proofs and the total cost - Wait for my explicit confirmation before send-postcard Never send without my yes.
%FIRST_NAME% and Never %ADDRESS%In Thanks.io, the %ADDRESS% merge tag dynamically prints each recipient's own street address. That is awesome on a Golden Letter or Monthly Market Update (“Curious what %ADDRESS% is worth today?”). However, on a Just Listed or Just Sold card, you are announcing one specific listing address to 100 neighbors. If your AI put %ADDRESS% in the headline, every neighbor would read that their own house just sold! Our skill explicitly instructs the AI to hard-code the subject listing address and greet each neighbor with %FIRST_NAME%.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how your AI assistant directly uses Thanks.io's 38 tools—saving image templates, buying a radius list, rendering a proof, and sending postcards.
Log into your Thanks.io account and open Settings → API & MCP Access. Click Create Personal Access Token and copy the token. While you are on that screen, toggle ON “Allow lead purchases via MCP” so your AI assistant is permitted to buy the $0.05/record radius neighbor lists around your listings.
In Claude Desktop, Claude Web Connectors, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Zo, add a custom MCP server pointing to https://mcp.thanks.io/mcp. If your client uses a JSON configuration file, paste this block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"thanks-io": {
"url": "https://mcp.thanks.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_THANKS_IO_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Every time you drop a listing URL into your chat, the AI calls preview-order first. It displays the rendered 4×6 front postcard proof, the handwritten back proof with your QR code, the exact neighbor count, and the total cost. Nothing is charged or mailed until you reply “Yes, send it.”
