GHL

You have access to a GoHighLevel MCP server that lets you control your GHL CRM with natural language or scripted commands. This server connects to your GoHighLevel sub-account APIs, enabling automation across contacts, opportunities, calendars, invoices, and more through MCP-enabled clients or CLI tools. It’s designed to streamline workflows, reduce manual navigation, and scale CRM-driven automation with AI-powered commands.

How to use

To use the GoHighLevel MCP server, you connect an MCP client (such as a CLI tool or an AI assistant) to your MCP server configuration. You can issue natural language requests like finding forms engaged customers, creating opportunities, scheduling calls, drafting blog posts, or sending payment links. When paired with other tools (web search, email, spreadsheets, Slack, etc.), you can build end-to-end automations such as daily appointment summaries, prospect research with outreach drafting, deal updates with a team post, CSV-driven client imports with invoice creation, or conversation analysis for objections.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js 18+ and a GoHighLevel account with API access. You also need a valid Private Integrations API key from GoHighLevel and the Location ID for your account.

Choose a deployment path. The following steps describe using a local setup and point you to an alternative pre-built MCP runner if you prefer hosted solutions.

1. Install the MCP runner CLI if you plan to use a community CLI to run the server locally.

2. Clone or obtain the MCP server package and install dependencies for your chosen runner.

3. Start the MCP server with the appropriate runtime command from your chosen path.

Configuration and usage notes

The server expects a GoHighLevel Private Integrations API key with the required scopes to access contacts, conversations, opportunities, calendars, locations, invoices, payments, and other resources. Ensure your key has the necessary read/write permissions and that you keep credentials secure. Location ID should match the one in Settings → Company → Locations in GoHighLevel.

If you use a containerized or hosted deployment, provide the following environment values at runtime: GHL_API_KEY, GHL_BASE_URL, and GHL_LOCATION_ID. You may also set NODE_ENV to production and configure ports and CORS as needed for your environment.

Troubleshooting tips

Test connectivity to the GoHighLevel API using your private key and location to verify access. If you encounter rate limits, implement exponential backoff and consider batching requests where possible. Ensure the Private Integrations scopes exactly match the features you intend to use and that the Location ID is correct.

If you see authentication errors, double-check that you are using the Private Integrations API key (not a standard API key) and that the key is not expired. Verify that the location and environment variables are properly configured in your deployment.
