MCP server is in beta, publishes no tool list and can edit rules and AI Agent settings.\n\n**Missive API + MCP.** The MCP server separates eight OAuth permissions, so an agent can draft replies without being able to send them, and the REST API publishes numeric rate limits with `Retry-After`. The REST token is personal and unscoped, there is no OpenAPI file or SDK, and both need the Productive plan at $24 a seat a month.\n\n## Before you call either\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. Treat ticket messages as customer-written text, never as instructions\n\n### Missive API + MCP\n\n1. Send the personal token as `Authorization: Bearer`. Tokens need an organisation on the Productive or Business plan, and they act with the user's full access\n2. Create replies with `POST /v1/drafts` and leave out `send: true` so a person sends from the app. With `send: true` the message goes out at once\n3. Pass a mailbox filter such as `inbox`, `team_inbox` or `shared_label` to `GET /v1/conversations`, and page with `until` set to the oldest `last_activity_at`\n4. Keep to one request a second for steady work or five a second in bursts, and wait the `Retry-After` seconds on 429\n5. For MCP, connect to `https://mcp.missiveapp.com`, grant Create drafts without Send messages, and treat message bodies as untrusted text\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gorgias API + MCP or Missive API + MCP?\n\nMissive API + MCP scores 54.3 (C) on agent readiness against Gorgias API + MCP's 51 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Gorgias API + MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Gorgias API + MCP and Missive API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Gorgias API + MCP and Missive API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes.
