The Front MCP Server is here (beta)

UPDATE: There’s a new version of the MCP server. Please join the following group to learn how to get started:

The data access note for the original MCP server does not apply to the new one linked above.

 

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

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.

Is there any documentation on what endpoints are available in the MCP? 

What are some of the practical ways we can use the MCP?

Hey ​@zeek, you can ask your AI agent for the full list of available endpoints. You can also ask it for ideas on how to use those endpoints. In general, the endpoints we’ve made available for this beta release are related to conversation data and related resources such as inboxes and teammates. Most of the endpoints are read only, but you can post tags, add comments, and create draft replies.

It would be great if other users could share their real-world use cases with us here for inspiration and feedback on what may or may not be working well with the beta MCP server.

Thanks everyone!

Just requested access, thanks!

Hey! Quick question on the MCP beta: any plans to support the native MCP OAuth flow so Claude Desktop (and similar) can handle the auth handshake directly, instead of us writing a wrapper to fetch the token and pass it as a Bearer header?

Would be a big UX win for non-dev teammates, and a natural fit with the per-user token support you hinted at. Thanks!

Hey ​@make — I’ve noted this feedback for the team. Based on early discussions, we will be prioritizing a user-based OAuth flow for the full release of the MCP server, so supplying it such that you don’t have to write an extra wrapper is a likely result.

Hi everyone, we’d like to gather your input: which services would be useful to connect Front into? We’re planning to submit an official Claude connector with the launch of the full MCP server, but also try to get the Front MCP server connected to services like Slack and Notion.

It would be helpful to hear directly from the community regarding which services you’re interested in!
