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
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.
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-serverAdd 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"
}
}
}
}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-serverRestart 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.

Claude returns a 401 Unauthorized error when listing conversations

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.
