@Javier - Developer Relations
Take a look. I think your developers will be interested in this. It would be great to have an official MCP server from Frontapp. Please feel free to use the code or create a fork.

Hi @zqush This looks amazing! I will review it in more depth next week. Thank you for your valuable contribution to our community code!
Hi Javier.
After many hours of planning and prompting and testing, and a few dollars spent on api calls, I got Cline to plan and build this out from start to finish and had it later do a complete review of the code and debug any issues. The documentation is up to date and quite detailed to make it easier for any developer to jump right in and understand the code. If you’re interested I can add you / your developers to the repo if you’d like to take over its development (or just fork it).
I think having an MCP Server for Frontapp will be an asset to the platform as everyone is moving towards this protocol. Obviously having an MCP Server that’s maintained by the service provider (you guys), rather than the community, is the way to go. I hope this initial work peaks your team’s interest to check out the possibilities with MCP.
All the best,
Ziad
Hi @zqush -- I’ve discussed this with the relevant teams. There is definitely a longer term interest for Front to provide an MCP server and directly address this need. For the time being, the teams are gathering customer and industry context so it may be some time before we are ready to prioritize the work.
In the meantime, we truly appreciate this amazing community contribution. I will feature your post in our API News & Updates section so more people are aware!
Much obliged
Hi Javier,
I agree it is still early days to jump into it. I do see other big names have adopted it so I feel it has a future. The code I put up still needs some work. The tests do run (talking to frontapp) but I was struggling to get Claude Desktop to connect to the mcp server. It’s probably me not the code. I’m not sure yet.
I appreciate the acknowledgement. I do want to make it clear though that the code is written by Cline using Anthropic Sonnet 3.7 api. I just did the prompting (which is kind of an art these days), and I used what people call the “memory-bank” custom prompt.
Cheers,
Ziad
