GoHighLevel MCP Server

ghl-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server for GoHighLevel API v2. It exposes contacts, opportunities, conversations, calendars, workflows, users, invoices, payments, social, forms, funnels, tasks, products, emails, campaigns, and documents as MCP tools over stdio so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, VS Code, and other MCP clients can work directly with GoHighLevel CRM data.

Features

• 50 MCP tools covering high-value GoHighLevel CRM, billing, marketing, and operations workflows

• Built on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk v1.x

• Strict TypeScript configuration

• Zod-validated tool inputs with descriptions on every field

• Automatic locationId injection from environment variables

• Basic request pacing to stay under GoHighLevel rate limits

• Human-readable tool error payloads instead of raw stack traces

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• A GoHighLevel API token

• A GoHighLevel location ID

Installation

Local development

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

Run with npx

npx -y ghl-mcp

Configuration

Set these environment variables in the MCP client configuration:

• GHL_API_TOKEN: Private Integration token or OAuth access token

• GHL_LOCATION_ID: GoHighLevel location or sub-account ID

The server sends these headers on every request:

Authorization: Bearer {GHL_API_TOKEN}
Content-Type: application/json
Version: 2021-07-28

MCP Client Setup

Claude Code

Note: claude mcp add registers a local server name — it doesn't download from a registry. The part after -- is the actual command that runs the server.

# After npm publish (recommended):
claude mcp add gohighlevel --scope user \
  --env GHL_API_TOKEN="your-token" \
  --env GHL_LOCATION_ID="your-location-id" \
  -- npx -y ghl-mcp

# Local development (before publishing):
claude mcp add gohighlevel --scope user \
  --env GHL_API_TOKEN="your-token" \
  --env GHL_LOCATION_ID="your-location-id" \
  -- node /absolute/path/to/ghl-mcp/dist/index.js

Cursor / VS Code / Codex style config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gohighlevel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ghl-mcp"],

        "GHL_LOCATION_ID": "your-location-id"
      }

Implementation Notes

• Most endpoints require locationId. This server injects it automatically into request query strings and JSON bodies unless a value is already provided.

• The client applies a minimum delay between requests to reduce the chance of hitting GoHighLevel's rate limits.

• Tool responses are returned as JSON text blocks with a short summary and the raw API payload.

• Pipeline listing fetches pipeline stage details for each returned pipeline so agents get usable stage metadata in one call.

Example Workflows

Find a contact and add a note

1. Call search_contacts with query: "jane@company.com"

2. Call get_contact with the selected contactId

3. Call create_contact_note with the contactId and note text

Create and advance an opportunity

1. Call list_pipelines to find the target pipeline and stage IDs

2. Call create_opportunity with contactId, pipelineId, pipelineStageId, and name

3. Call update_opportunity or update_opportunity_status as the deal progresses

Book an appointment

1. Call get_available_slots with a calendarId and date range

2. Call create_event with the selected time slot and optional contactId

Publishing

npm publish --access public

The published package installs the ghl-mcp binary from dist/index.js.
