🚀 GoHighLevel MCP Server

💡 What This Unlocks

This MCP server gives AI direct access to your entire GoHighLevel CRM. Instead of clicking through menus, you just tell it what you want.

🎯 GHL-Native Power Moves

🔗 The Real Power: Combining Tools

When you pair this MCP with other tools (web search, email, spreadsheets, Slack, etc.), things get wild:

This isn't just API access — it's your CRM on autopilot, controlled by natural language.

🎁 Don't Want to Self-Host? We've Got You.

Not everyone wants to manage servers, deal with API keys, or troubleshoot deployments. We get it.

🚨 IMPORTANT: FOUNDATIONAL PROJECT NOTICE

⚠️ This is a BASE-LEVEL foundational project designed to connect the GoHighLevel community with AI automation through MCP (Model Context Protocol).

🎯 What This Project Is:

• Foundation Layer: Provides access to ALL sub-account level GoHighLevel API endpoints via MCP

• Community Starter: Built to get the community moving forward together, faster

• Open Architecture: API client and types can be further modularized and segmented as needed

• Educational Resource: Learn how to integrate GoHighLevel with AI systems

⚠️ Critical AI Safety Considerations:

• Memory/Recall Systems: If you don't implement proper memory or recall mechanisms, AI may perform unintended actions

• Rate Limiting: Monitor API usage to avoid hitting GoHighLevel rate limits

• Permission Controls: Understand that this provides FULL access to your sub-account APIs

• Data Security: All actions are performed with your API credentials - ensure proper security practices

🎯 Intended Use:

• Personal/Business Use: Integrate your own GoHighLevel accounts with AI

• Development Base: Build upon this foundation for custom solutions

• Learning & Experimentation: Understand GoHighLevel API patterns

• Community Contribution: Help improve and extend this foundation

🚫 NOT Intended For:

• Direct Resale: This is freely available community software

• Production Without Testing: Always test thoroughly in development environments

• Unmonitored AI Usage: Implement proper safeguards and monitoring

🔑 CRITICAL: GoHighLevel API Setup

📋 Required: Private Integrations API Key

⚠️ This project requires a PRIVATE INTEGRATIONS API key, not a regular API key!

How to get your Private Integrations API Key:

1. Login to your GoHighLevel account

2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Private Integrations

3. Create New Private Integration:

   • Name: MCP Server Integration (or your preferred name)

   • Webhook URL: Leave blank (not needed)

4. Select Required Scopes based on tools you'll use:

   • ✅ contacts.readonly - View contacts

   • ✅ contacts.write - Create/update contacts

   • ✅ conversations.readonly - View conversations

   • ✅ conversations.write - Send messages

   • ✅ opportunities.readonly - View opportunities

   • ✅ opportunities.write - Manage opportunities

   • ✅ calendars.readonly - View calendars/appointments

   • ✅ calendars.write - Create/manage appointments

   • ✅ locations.readonly - View location data

   • ✅ invoices.readonly - View invoices

   • ✅ invoices.write - Create/manage invoices

   • ✅ payments.readonly - View payment data

   • ✅ products.readonly - View products

   • ✅ products.write - Manage products

5. Save Integration and copy the generated Private API Key

6. Copy your Location ID from Settings → Company → Locations

💡 Tip: You can always add more scopes later by editing your Private Integration if you need additional functionality.

This project was a 'time-taker' but I felt it was important. Feel free to donate - everything will go into furthering this Project -> Aiming for Mass Agency "Agent Driven Operations".
