CampaignHQ MCP server

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and other AI apps to your CampaignHQ account over the Model Context Protocol. Ask about campaigns, automations, contacts, events and the inbox in plain language, and get answers from your own data.

Server URL

Use the server for the region your account lives in. If you sign in at app.us.campaignhq.co, your account is in the United States. In CampaignHQ, Settings, then Integrations, then Connect AI shows your URL with a copy button.

India (app.campaignhq.co): https://mcp.campaignhq.co
United States (app.us.campaignhq.co): https://mcp.us.campaignhq.co

Connect your AI app

The examples use the India server. For a US account, use https://mcp.us.campaignhq.co instead.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
Name it CampaignHQ, paste your server URL and choose Add.
Choose Connect, then allow access on the CampaignHQ page that opens.
On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds the connector first, and members then choose Connect.

Pi

Add CampaignHQ to Pi as a remote (HTTP) MCP server with your server URL.
When Pi asks you to sign in, allow access on the CampaignHQ page that opens.

Cursor, Gemini CLI and VS Code (API key)

In CampaignHQ, open Settings, then Integrations, then API keys. Create a key for AI agents (MCP) and pick its permissions. The key acts as you, so keep it out of shared files.

Cursor, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "campaignhq": {
      "url": "https://mcp.campaignhq.co",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your API key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI, in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "campaignhq": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.campaignhq.co",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your API key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code, in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "campaignhq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.campaignhq.co",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your API key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Permissions

You choose what an AI app may do when you allow it, or when you create its API key. It always acts as you, within your own role.

Permission	What it allows
Read your account read	Campaigns, automations, contacts, templates and reports. Always granted.
Create and edit drafts write	Campaign drafts, templates, segments and contacts. Launching stays with you in CampaignHQ.
Read inbox conversations inbox:read	Conversations you can see in the inbox.
Manage inbox conversations inbox:write	Assign, tag and resolve conversations.
Send inbox replies inbox:send	Reply to customers in the inbox as you. Only when an admin allows it.

No sends without a person

AI apps cannot launch campaigns or send in bulk. Launching a campaign and activating an automation or chat flow is always a click by a person in CampaignHQ. Apart from a test sent only to yourself, the only message an AI app can send is a single inbox reply, and only after an admin turns on "Allow AI agents to send inbox replies". Admins can turn AI agent access off for the whole company, and it takes effect at once.

What AI apps can do

Every tool the server offers today (23 tools).Each one works only on your company's data, and what an app sees still depends on your role.

MCP questions

Common questions about connecting AI apps to CampaignHQ.

Still have questions?

Ask our team

MCP access is in beta and is being turned on for accounts gradually. Once it is on for your company, any team member can connect an AI app. Admins can turn AI agent access off for the whole company at any time.

No. An AI app works as you, with your role and permissions. It sees only the WhatsApp numbers, inbox conversations and data you can see in CampaignHQ, and personal data stays masked if your plan masks it.

No. Launching a campaign and activating an automation or chat flow is always a click by a person in CampaignHQ. Apart from a test sent only to yourself, the only message an AI app can send is a single inbox reply, and only after an admin allows it.

Open Settings, then Integrations, then Connected apps, and choose Disconnect. Access ends at once. For an API key, revoke it under Settings, Integrations, API keys. Admins can revoke anyone's apps and keys under AI agent access.

Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Pi sign in to CampaignHQ through a browser. Cursor and Gemini CLI cannot use that sign in flow, and for VS Code an API key is the simpler setup. Create a key for AI agents (MCP) with only the permissions it needs.

No. Using CampaignHQ from an AI app does not draw on your CampaignHQ AI allowance.

Only the results of what the AI app asks for, under your permissions. How the AI app stores or uses that data is set by its provider's terms.
