How to Set Up and Use Chatwoot

Chatwoot MCP Server connects Claude to your Chatwoot customer support instance, enabling you to list conversations, read messages, send replies, and create internal notes without leaving your AI assistant. It authenticates via a personal access token or email/password credentials and supports any self-hosted or cloud Chatwoot deployment.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher installed
  • A running Chatwoot instance (self-hosted or cloud)
  • Chatwoot API token from Profile Settings → Access Token
  • Claude Desktop or Claude Code installed
1

Obtain your Chatwoot API token

Log in to your Chatwoot instance, click your avatar in the bottom-left corner, go to Profile Settings, and copy the Access Token shown there. This token will be used to authenticate all MCP requests.

2

Install the MCP server package

The server is published as an npm package. Install it globally or use npx to run it on demand without a permanent install.

npm install -g chatwoot-mcp-server
3

Add the server to Claude Desktop configuration

Open your Claude Desktop config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS) and add the chatwoot entry under mcpServers, substituting your real instance URL and token.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chatwoot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["chatwoot-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CHATWOOT_BASE_URL": "https://your-chatwoot-instance.com",
        "CHATWOOT_API_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
4

Add via Claude Code CLI (alternative)

If you use Claude Code in the terminal, register the server with the mcp add command so it is automatically loaded in every session.

claude mcp add chatwoot \
  -e CHATWOOT_BASE_URL="https://your-chatwoot-instance.com" \
  -e CHATWOOT_API_TOKEN="your_access_token_here" \
  -- npx chatwoot-mcp-server
5

Restart Claude and verify the connection

Restart Claude Desktop (or start a new Claude Code session). Ask Claude to list your open conversations. A successful response with real conversation data confirms the server is connected.

Chatwoot Examples

Prompts to try

Example natural-language prompts to use with the Chatwoot MCP server once connected.

- "Show all open conversations in my Chatwoot inbox"
- "What are the details of conversation #142?"
- "List all unresolved conversations assigned to me"
- "Send a reply to conversation #142 saying: Thank you for your patience, we are looking into this"
- "Create an internal note on conversation #99 summarizing the issue"

Troubleshooting Chatwoot

Claude returns a 401 Unauthorized error when listing conversations

Double-check that CHATWOOT_API_TOKEN is set to a valid user access token (not an agent token). Regenerate it from Profile Settings → Access Token if needed.

The server starts but cannot reach the Chatwoot instance

Verify CHATWOOT_BASE_URL includes the protocol (https://) and no trailing slash. If your instance uses a custom port, include it, e.g. https://support.example.com:3000.
