We're excited to announce the beta release of the Front MCP server — and we'd love for you to try it.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI applications securely connect to external data sources and tools. With the Front MCP server, AI-powered tools like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and others can interact directly with your Front account and API documentation using natural language — no manual API calls required.

What does that look like in practice?

  • Ask your AI assistant to pull open conversations from a specific inbox, then tag or triage them
  • Query your Front account data in real time to inform what you're building
  • Explore Front's API endpoints and get full details about specific ones — without digging through docs
  • Generate integration code with full context about Front's capabilities already loaded in

It's a faster, more intuitive way to build on Front — and we're just getting started.

How to get access

Fill out this form, and we’ll be in touch.

A note on data access

The Front MCP server uses the same API tokens as the Core API. Because these tokens grant company-wide access rather than per-user access, we strongly recommend starting with the narrowest scopes your use case requires and being explicit when passing instructions to your AI agent.

Feedback requested
We're actively gathering feedback from the community before releasing a more robust version, so we'd love to hear what you build and where you run into friction. Drop your questions, ideas, and feedback in this thread — we're paying close attention.

I’ve given it a whirl - as you already know the top priority would be properly scoping permissions per user. Beyond that though, the current tools that are exposed are a bit unusual for an MCP for a service like this. Claude (for example) is ultimately able to achieve what it needs here, but not in a highly efficient way. I’d love to see specific tools for fetching inboxes, fetching and filtering conversations by status/tags/etc, more natively as tools w/ params.

Thanks for the feedback, ​@jetlagdev. This beta release is scoped and configured similarly to our API. For the full release, the team will be evaluating a more tailored approach based on comments like yours.
