What is the MCP Server?

The GoHighLevel MCP server is a standardized, secure protocol that allows AI agents to read and write data in GoHighLevel without needing SDKs or deep custom integrations. You can now give agents access to critical tools like Calendar, Contacts, Conversations, Opportunities, and Payments through a single, unified interface.

Key Benefits of Using the MCP Server

Connecting your AI agents to GoHighLevel has never been easier or safer.

Standardized Access: Query and update data through a unified protocol.
Fast Integration: No SDKs required; works with any HTTP-supporting client.
Secure: Uses private integration tokens (PITs) for granular, permission-based access.
Scalable: Designed for future expansion to 250+ tools.
Flexible: Supports popular clients like Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI Playground.

How To Set Up the MCP Server

Step 1: Configure Your Agent/Client

Add the MCP endpoint and headers to your agent configuration:

json

CopyEdit

{

"mcpServers": {

"prod-ghl-mcp": {

"url": "https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/",

"headers": {

"Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>",

"locationId": "<sub-account-id>"

}

Step 2: Get Your Private Integration Token (PIT)

Go to Settings → Private Integrations in your GoHighLevel location.
Click Create New Integration.
Select the required scopes (listed below).
Copy and securely store your token.

Required Scopes

Make sure your PIT includes:

View/Edit Contacts
View/Edit Conversations
View/Edit Conversation Messages
View/Edit Opportunities
View Calendars & Calendar Events
View Locations
View Payment Orders & Transactions
View Custom Fields
View Forms
Check Blog Post Slug
Update Blog Post
Create Blog Post
View Blog Authors
View Blog Categories
blogspostsreadonly
blogslistreadonly
Create, Update and Delete Email Templates
View Email Templates
View Social Media Accounts
View Social Media Statistics
Edit Social Media Posts
View Social Media Posts

Step 3: Start Building!

Your agents can now call tools using natural language instructions, seamlessly translated into secure API calls via MCP.

Example Tool Call

Python example:

python

CopyEdit

import requests

headers = {

"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PIT_TOKEN",

"locationId": "YOUR_LOCATION_ID"

}

data = {

"tool": "contacts_get-contact",

"input": {

"contactId": "abc123"

}

response = requests.post(

"https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/",

headers=headers,

json=data

)

print(response.json())

Roadmap & Vision

The current MCP release is just the beginning. Our roadmap includes:

Individual MCP servers dedicated to specific services for targeted workflows.
npx package to support clients without native HTTP support (e.g., Claude Desktop).
OAuth support for advanced authorization flows.
Expansion to 250+ tools to create a true unified orchestrator layer for AI agents.
Enable complete automation of business processes across all GoHighLevel modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this with OpenAI Playground or Claude?
Yes! Any client supporting HTTP requests can integrate with MCP.

Q: Do I need to install an SDK?
No SDK is required — MCP uses a standard HTTP protocol.

Q: Is my data secure?
Yes. Data access is fully scoped via Private Integration Tokens and secured through HTTPS.

Q: Can I restrict what tools an agent can use?
Yes. You can control access by limiting scopes in your PIT.

Q: What if I need a new tool or endpoint?
Reach out with feedback! We're actively expanding the available toolset.
