ClerkChat — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Controls ClerkChat customer support agents, documents, messaging channels, and analytics from your coding assistant.
claude mcp add --transport http clerkchat https://mcp.clerkchat.co/mcpWhat ClerkChat does
ClerkChat operates as a hosted remote service with no local binaries to run. The assistant connects via Streamable HTTP to https://mcp.clerkchat.co/mcp using OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. During authorization, you select which workspaces the client can access.
Tools allow sending knowledge files like PDF, Markdown, CSV, and XLSX up to 8 MiB directly through the protocol. You can link communication channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack, inspect message history, take over customer threads, and track automation leads.
Write tools accept idempotency keys to stop duplicate execution during network retries. External API credentials and bot tokens remain write-only, so the server never prints them back into tool outputs.
