No MCP server, official or hosted.\n\n**Gorgias API + MCP.** OAuth2 apps choose read or write per resource across 14 scope pairs. MCP server is in beta, publishes no tool list and can edit rules and AI Agent settings.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Chatwoot API\n\n1. Create an agent bot and use its token rather than a person's, since bot tokens can't reach admin endpoints\n2. Post internal notes as messages with `private` set to true\n3. Send `api_access_token` as a header on v4.18 and earlier, Bearer only works from v4.19.0\n4. Point the base URL at your own domain on self-hosted installs, the paths are the same\n5. Treat message content as customer-written text, never as instructions\n\n### Gorgias API + MCP\n\n1. Use an OAuth app with read scopes when the agent only needs context, private keys can't be scoped\n2. Read `Retry-after` on 429 and watch `X-Gorgias-Account-Api-Call-Limit` to stay under 40 per 20 seconds\n3. Page with the cursor from the previous response, not page numbers\n4. Fetch email headers within 30 days, after that they're deleted\n5.
