Get Newsletter subscriber stats is a WordPress ability from Jetpack — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Newsletter subscriber stats
Read-onlyReturn aggregate subscriber counts for the site: total, email, and paid.
Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.
What it does
This ability returns aggregate subscriber counts fetched from WordPress.com: the total subscriber count (email subscribers plus WordPress.com followers), the subset receiving email, and the subset on a paid newsletter plan. Numbers are cached locally for one hour, so a transient network error can still yield a stale-but-non-zero response when a cached value exists. Requires an active Jetpack connection; sites without one return a jetpack_newsletter_not_connected error.
