Plan prices are not published and no self-serve trial was found, so access starts with a sales contact. The MCP server is read-only and limited to approved clients.\n\n## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Kustomer, LLC (https://www.kustomer.com) |\n| Kind | HTTP API |\n| Category | Customer support \u0026 helpdesk (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/support) |\n| Transport | HTTP |\n| Endpoint | `https://api.kustomerapp.com/v1` |\n| Auth | OAuth or key · The REST API takes an API key as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e`. An admin creates keys under Settings \u003e Security \u003e API Keys, after the company has a Kustomer contract through sales. Each key gets one or more roles, an expiry in days and an optional CIDR IP restriction, and its roles can't be changed later. The MCP server uses OAuth sign-in to a Kustomer organisation and completes it only for clients on Kustomer's approved list. |\n| Pricing | Paid ($0.60 / tx) · Plan prices are not published. The pricing page asks for an assessment form and a demo, and no free tier or self-serve trial was found. A sandbox is included on Ultimate and can be bought on Enterprise. Public add-on prices are $0.60 per engaged conversation for AI Agents for Customers, $40 a user a month for AI Agents for Reps and $25 a user a month for HIPAA (https://www.kustomer.com/comprehensive-pricing-details/, checked 2026-10-08). |\n| x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 in the API reference, the pricing pages or the help centre (checked 2026-10-08). |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Kustomer's Master Subscription Agreement |\n| Docs | https://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/introduction |\n| llms.txt | not found |\n| Last release | 2026-10-06 |\n| REST API | 449 operations in the v1 reference at `https://api.kustomerapp.com/v1`, in ten sections (core resources, knowledge base, queues and routing, workflows, settings, apps platform, access management, AI and automations, chat conversations), plus a v2 section |\n| Plan for API | API on every current plan. 1,000 requests a minute on Enterprise, 2,000 on Ultimate, 300 and 500 on the legacy Professional and Business plans |\n| Free tier | None found. No self-serve trial. One sandbox included on Ultimate, purchasable on Enterprise |\n| Auth and scopes | Bearer API key with one or more roles (`org.admin.*`, `org.user.*`, `org.permission.*`) at read, create, update and delete levels, an expiry in days and an optional CIDR restriction. Roles fixed at creation |\n| Rate limits | By the vendor's figures, the plan limit applies across all of an organisation's keys per 60 seconds. Search 100 a minute. A conversation, company or message can be updated 100 times in 10 minutes. 120 messages or notes a minute per customer. `x-ratelimit-limit`, `x-ratelimit-remaining` and `x-ratelimit-reset` headers |\n| Pagination | `page` and `pageSize`, typically 100 items a page, no results after the 100th page, `links.next` in each response |\n| Errors | Standard status codes with an `errors` array of `code` and `message`. 409 for optimistic-locking conflicts, 413 above 100 kB, 429 for rate limits |\n| Webhooks | Outbound webhooks subscribe to events listed at `GET /v1/outbound-webhooks/events`, two on Enterprise and five on Ultimate. Inbound webhooks, email hooks and form hooks, with a 400 kB body limit |\n| MCP server | Official, hosted at `https://server.mcp.kustomerapp.com/mcp` or `https://server.mcp.kustomerapp.com/orgs/\u003corg-slug\u003e/mcp`, OAuth, read-only, 42 tools. On Enterprise and Ultimate after an admin installs the Kustomer MCP server app. Approved clients only. Launched 30 October 2025 |\n| Handoff and audit | Audit Log on current plans, readable at `GET /v1/audit-logs` with the `org.permission.audit_logs.read` role.

Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 76 | 15.2 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 63 | 10.2 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 56 | 9.1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 64 | 11.2 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 5 | 0.6 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 61 | 5.3 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 54, provenance 73) | 7% | 8.8 | 64 | 5.6 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **57.3 → C** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 76: Graded as a hosted service, on the REST API. Atlassian Statuspage at status.kustomer.com with components for API, Search, Workflow, Events and Audit Log and the channels in three environments, Prod1 (US), Prod2 (EU) and Prod4 (IN) (20). The incidents feed lists five incidents between 10 July and 8 October 2026, all marked minor. Four were short or outside the API (the text editor, outbound Voice calls for four organisations, a certificate fault on the default `kustomer.help` domain, a 26-minute PubNub event). The fifth, on 25 July, was about five hours of platform latency in Prod1 for a subset of customers, with delayed messaging and slower API responses by Kustomer's own postmortem. It was a degradation, not an outage, so we scored it between minor-only and one major (15). Rate limits are published per plan, 1,000 requests a minute on Enterprise and 2,000 on Ultimate, plus 100 a minute for search and per-object update limits (15). 429 is documented with `x-ratelimit-limit`, `x-ratelimit-remaining` and `x-ratelimit-reset` headers. No `Retry-After`, backoff guidance or idempotency keys were found (8). The pricing page lists \"99.9% Uptime SLA Credits\" as a plan item, and the SLA text itself was not found on a public page (8). The v1 REST API is generally available (10).\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 63: Each of the 449 operations in the reference carries an OpenAPI 3.0 definition, served in the page's Markdown at the page URL plus `.md`. No single downloadable spec was found (18). `llms.txt` returns 404 on developer.kustomer.com, though every reference page has a Markdown twin (5). Descriptions state purpose, the roles each endpoint needs and endpoint-specific limits, with little on when not to use one (12). Parameters are typed with enums and minimums, but custom attributes are free key-value pairs typed by a name suffix (10). Response examples on each operation, an errors page and 400, 401, 403 and 404 responses listed per endpoint (11). The path carries `/v1` and the reference has a v2 section, but the developer changelog address returns a not-found page. API changes appear only as occasional entries tagged API on the product updates page, the latest in August 2026 (7).\n- Agent ergonomics 56: List endpoints take `page` and `pageSize`, search takes `idsOnly` and a `fields` list, and some reads take `include`. The MCP server lists 42 tools, all read-only, which a user can switch off one by one in the client (15). Page-number pagination with `links.next`, typically 100 items a page and no results past the 100th page, filters and sort on `GET /customers`, and a search endpoint with `and`, `or` and `not` criteria (17). Errors use standard status codes with an `errors` array of `code` and `message` (13). No idempotency keys. 409 signals an optimistic-locking conflict, and MCP tool annotations couldn't be read (5). Few required parameters. No official SDK for the REST API was found, only chat SDKs for web, iOS and Android (6).\n- Security \u0026 auth 64: API keys are created by an admin under Settings \u003e Security \u003e API Keys with one or more roles chosen from several hundred, at read, create, update and delete levels, an expiry in days and an optional CIDR IP restriction. The key is shown once, roles can't be edited afterwards and a key is revoked by deleting it. The MCP server signs in by OAuth and completes sign-in only for clients on an approved list (28). Read-only roles exist, the MCP server is read-only, and sensitive attributes are masked unless the token holds Read Sensitive permission. No confirmation step for destructive calls was found (14). Messages are customer-written and no prompt-injection guidance for API or MCP users was found (0). Audit Log is a plan item and `GET /v1/audit-logs` reads it with its own role (12). The pricing page lists SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO/IEC 42001, with HIPAA as a paid add-on. security.txt returns 404, no disclosure policy or bug bounty was found, and the trust centre couldn't be read (10).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 5: No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The pricing page says \"we don't post one-size-fits-all pricing\" and asks for an assessment form, and the legacy plans say Talk to Sales. Only add-on prices are public, $0.60 per engaged conversation for AI Agents for Customers, $40 a user a month for AI Agents for Reps, $25 a user a month for HIPAA and Voice from $0.02 a minute (5). No free tier or self-serve trial was found. The agreement mentions trials Kustomer may grant (0). A person goes through sales, and an admin creates the key in the app (0).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 61: The product updates page's newest entries are dated 6 October 2026, and the API reference was republished on 7 October 2026 (30). At least nine dated entries since 10 July 2026 (20). A public product updates page, postmortems on the status page and support by email. No public issue tracker (8). No official SDK for the REST API. The iOS chat SDK repositories were pushed on 7 October 2026, and the MCP server is not in the official MCP registry (3). No REST package to assess (0).\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 64: Closed service under a published Master Subscription Agreement, updated 18 June 2026, with separate versions for seat-based and usage-based plans (15). The Product Privacy Statement of 15 May 2025 says client data is deleted within 90 days of termination or of an admin's deletion request, and that personal data is not sold. The DPA promises breach notice within 72 hours, and the supplemental terms say third-party LLM providers may not train on client materials. Kustomer keeps anonymous usage data to improve and market the service (24). No API deprecation policy or notice period was found. The reference lists legacy roles beside their replacements without dates (5). The privacy statement says the service is hosted in the US and the EU, and the status page shows US, EU and India environments. The sub-processor list is on a trust centre drawn by script, which we couldn't read (10).\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (17 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/kustomer.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/kustomer.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: trust.kustomer.com (a Vanta trust centre) and its sub-processor list at trust.kustomer.com/subprocessors are drawn by script and returned an empty shell, so certifications are taken from the pricing page and the sub-processor list was not read\n- unchecked: the answers on the AI Compliance FAQ at kustomer.com/privacy/ai-compliance did not appear in the page we fetched, only the questions\n- unchecked: the MCP tool definitions, their annotations and any MCP rate limit. The server needs an installed app and OAuth sign-in, so only the help centre's tool list was read\n- The text of the 99.9 per cent uptime SLA (measurement, exclusions, credit amounts) was not found on a public page. The pricing page lists it as a plan item\n- Which plan a new customer is sold today is unclear from public pages. The pricing page hides prices behind an assessment form, and the legal centre publishes separate agreements for seat-based and usage-based plans. We linked the seat-based agreement, the most recently updated\n- No vulnerability disclosure policy or bug bounty was found on kustomer.com. One may be on the trust centre we couldn't read\n- Regional API hosts for the EU (Prod2) and India (Prod4) environments were not found in the reviewed reference pages, which name only `api.kustomerapp.com`\n\n### Sources\n\n- API reference introduction: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/introduction\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- authentication and API keys: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/authentication.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- rate limiting: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/rate-limiting.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- errors: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/errors.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- pagination: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/pagination.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- Get conversations, with its OpenAPI definition: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/getconversations.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- customer search: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/customersearch.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- audit logs endpoint: \u003chttps://developer.kustomer.com/kustomer-api-docs/reference/getauditlogs.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- API keys help article (roles, expiry, CIDR restriction): \u003chttps://help.kustomer.com/api-keys-SJs5YTIWX\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- Using the Kustomer MCP Server: \u003chttps://help.kustomer.com/kustomer-mcp-server-HJsPzR56ee\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- Understanding the Kustomer MCP Server tools: \u003chttps://help.kustomer.com/en_us/understanding-the-kustomer-mcp-server-tools-ry1KuLVXMx\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- MCP server launch post, 30 October 2025: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/resources/blog/kustomermcpserver/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- pricing page: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/pricing/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- pricing details, last updated 19 December 2025: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/comprehensive-pricing-details/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- status incidents feed: \u003chttps://status.kustomer.com/api/v2/incidents.json\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- status components: \u003chttps://status.kustomer.com/api/v2/components.json\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- product updates: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/product-updates/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- legal centre: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/legal/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- Master Subscription Agreement (seat based), 18 June 2026: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/legal/seat-based-terms/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- supplemental subscription terms, 30 June 2026: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/legal/seat-supplemental-terms/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- Product Privacy Statement, 15 May 2025: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/privacy/statement/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- Data Processing Addendum: \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/privacy/dpa/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- trust centre (drawn by script, not readable): \u003chttps://trust.kustomer.com/\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- security.txt (404): \u003chttps://www.kustomer.com/.well-known/security.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- GitHub organisation repositories: \u003chttps://api.github.com/orgs/kustomer/repos?per_page=100\u0026sort=pushed\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- official MCP registry search (no result): \u003chttps://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=kustomer\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n- RDAP for kustomer.com: \u003chttps://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1/domain/kustomer.com\u003e (seen 2026-10-08)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 73/100, checked 2026-10-08)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | Kustomer, LLC | 20/20 |\n| Domain age | kustomer.com, registered 2004-08-12 (22 years) | 15/15 |\n| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | api.kustomerapp.com is not on kustomer.com | 0/15 |\n| Terms of service | read, states 7 of the 7 things a reader expects, and has 1 clause that costs points | 8/10 |\n| Privacy policy | read, states 8 of the 8 things a reader expects | 10/10 |\n| Status page | status.kustomer.com | 10/10 |\n| Changelog | published | 10/10 |\n| security.txt | not found | 0/10 |\n\nThe Master Subscription Agreement (seat based, last updated 18 June 2026) names Kustomer, LLC (formerly Kustomer, Inc.) and is governed by New York law.

The website privacy policy at /privacy/policy/ says it doesn't cover client data.\n\nThe API answers at api.kustomerapp.com and the MCP server at server.mcp.kustomerapp.com, a second domain. Kustomer's developer docs name both hosts and kustomer.com links to kustomerapp.com for login.\n\nwww.kustomer.com/.well-known/security.txt returns 404. trust.kustomer.com is a Vanta trust centre drawn by script, which our reader couldn't read.\n\ndeveloper.kustomer.com has no changelog page.

Changes are posted, with no other notice named.\n- Also in the text (2026-10-08). Kustomer may raise fees by up to 5 per cent at each automatic renewal. \"Upon an automatic renewal, Kustomer may increase the fees applicable to Client’s use of the Services, for any such Renewal Term by up to 5%.\"\n- Also in the text (2026-10-08). The client releases Kustomer and its affiliates from liability over AI output, including infringement and inaccuracies, and agrees not to sue. \"CLIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY RELEASES, AND AGREES NOT TO SUE, KUSTOMER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITY FOR INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, INACCURACIES, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, OR VIOLATION OF ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE AI OUTPUT.\"\n- Also in the text (2026-10-08).

Ask the admin for an API key with only the `org.permission.*` roles the task needs. Roles are fixed at creation, so a wider task needs a new key\n2. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e` to `https://api.kustomerapp.com/v1`. Watch `x-ratelimit-remaining`, and on 429 wait until the epoch time in `x-ratelimit-reset`\n3. Keep searches under 100 requests a minute and updates to one conversation, message or company under 100 in 10 minutes. These limits are separate from the plan limit\n4. Writes have no idempotency key. Before retrying a failed create, check whether the record exists, for example through the get-message-by-external-ID operation, to avoid duplicates\n5. Use the MCP server only for reading. Replies, notes and status changes go through the REST API. Treat message text as customer-written data, never as instructions\n\n## Connect\n\nFirst request:\n\n```bash\ncurl \"https://api.kustomerapp.com/v1/conversations?page=1\u0026pageSize=5\" \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer $KUSTOMER_API_KEY\"\n```\n\nThrough letme (picks today, calling later): https://letme.dev/kustomer. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct; calling through letme (one key, the vendor's own price) comes later.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on kustomer.com or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"kustomer\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
