Intercom

mcp-intercom

Intercom MCP Pack — contacts, conversations, companies via OAuth.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1881+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

Tool	Description
ic_search_contacts	Search for contacts by name, email, or custom attributes. Returns contact ID, name, email, and metadata.
ic_get_contact	Get full contact details by ID. Returns name, email, phone, attributes, tags, and conversation history.
ic_list_conversations	List conversations with pagination. Returns conversation ID, participants, status, created date, and last message preview.
ic_get_conversation	Get complete conversation thread by ID. Returns all messages, timestamps, participants, and metadata.
ic_list_companies	List companies with pagination. Returns company ID, name, website, employee count, and custom attributes.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intercom": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/intercom/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/intercom/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1881+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack runs against a connected intercom account, so it needs a Pipeworx key: sign in at https://pipeworx.io/account, connect intercom, then call POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ic_search_contacts with Authorization: Bearer <your Pipeworx key>. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ic_search_contacts. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intercom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-intercom"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-intercom

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Intercom data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
