Kit (formerly ConvertKit) API integration with managed OAuth. Manage email subscribers, forms, tags, sequences, broadcasts, and custom fields.
Use this skill when users want to manage their email marketing lists, create or update subscribers, manage tags, or work with email sequences and broadcasts.
For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Kit
Access the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage subscribers, tags, forms, sequences, broadcasts, custom fields, and webhooks.
Quick Start
# List subscribers
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/kit/v4/subscribers?per_page=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFBase URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/kit/{native-api-path}Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Kit API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.kit.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.
Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"Getting Your API Key
1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Kit OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=kit&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFCreate Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'kit'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFGet Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF**Response:**
{
"connection": {
"connection_id": "cb2025b3-706f-4b5d-87a5-c6809c0c7ec4",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2026-02-07T00:04:08.476727Z",

"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
"app": "kit",
"metadata": {}
}
}Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.
Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFSpecifying Connection
If you have multiple Kit connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/kit/v4/subscribers')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'cb2025b3-706f-4b5d-87a5-c6809c0c7ec4')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFIf omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Missing Kit connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 403 | Insufficient permissions (check OAuth scopes) |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Kit API |
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFTroubleshooting: Invalid App Name
1. Ensure your URL path starts with `kit`. For example:
