@nightsquawktech/gohighlevel-mcp-server

Stdio MCP server for curated GoHighLevel API v2 coverage. It is intended to run beside the official hosted HighLevel MCP and fill the gaps that server does not expose:

• create, update, and delete custom fields

• delete contacts

• guarded duplicate-contact merge workaround for records that are safe to hard-delete

This implementation covers all phases in SCOPE.md: custom fields, custom values, contacts, opportunities, tags, conversations, calendars, locations/users, contact notes/tasks, and Custom Fields V2/folders. Destructive and outbound tools (deletes, merges, message sends) require an explicit confirm: true parameter and should only be run with explicit human approval.

Custom Field API Fork

The P1 custom-field write tools use the current location-scoped endpoints:

• PUT /locations/{locationId}/customFields/{id}

• DELETE /locations/{locationId}/customFields/{id}

The newer /custom-fields/{id} V2 API is documented separately and says it only supports Custom Objects and Company/Business today. It is implemented as separate V2/folder tools instead of replacing the location-scoped contact/opportunity custom-field tools.

Owner-approved write/delete test plan:

1. Create a disposable custom value, read it back, update its value, then delete it with confirm: true.

2. Create a disposable custom field named with a clear test prefix, read it back, update its placeholder, then delete it with confirm: true.

3. Pick or create a disposable contact, add a disposable tag, remove the tag with confirm: true, then delete the contact with confirm: true only if the owner approves contact deletion.

4. Add a disposable contact to a safe test workflow, then remove it with confirm: true.

5. Create/update/upsert a disposable contact, then verify no production contact was modified.

6. Create a disposable opportunity in a test pipeline/stage, update it, update its status, then delete it with confirm: true.

7. Send a message only to an owner-approved test contact/channel with confirm: true.

8. Create/update/delete a disposable appointment on a test calendar with confirm: true for delete.

9. Create/update/delete a disposable Custom Fields V2 field and folder only under an owner-approved test object key, with confirm: true for deletes.

10. Create a disposable contact note and task only on an owner-approved test contact.

11. For each destructive tool, first call it without confirm: true and verify it returns an MCP error without calling GoHighLevel.

12. For ghl_merge_contacts_delete_loser, first run confirm: false against an owner-approved duplicate pair and verify the preview shows the loser email, survivor email, and zero notes/tasks/conversations/opportunities/history-check errors. For the destructive test, use only disposable contacts: create a survivor and loser, set the loser's email, verify no history exists, run with confirm: true, verify the loser is gone and the survivor has the copied email. Separately verify the guard by adding a note/task to a disposable loser and confirming the merge is skipped without deletion.

Use stderr only for logs. Never commit .env or real tokens.
