README

Front MCP

Use Front from any MCP-compatible client. Search conversations, manage contacts, send messages, tag, assign, and automate inbox workflows — 26 tools, 172 actions.

Quick Start

Get a Front API token from Settings > Developers > API tokens.
Add to your Claude Code settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "front": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@houst-com/front-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FRONT_API_TOKEN": "your-front-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start Claude Code. The Front tools are now available.

Example Workflows

Search for a conversation:

"Search Front conversations about billing issues"

Inspect a thread:

"Get the messages in conversation cnv_abc123"

Manage contacts:

"List contacts and find the one with email alice@example.com"

Tag and assign:

"Tag conversation cnv_abc123 with 'urgent' and assign it to teammate tea_xyz"

Draft a reply:

"Create a draft reply to conversation cnv_abc123 saying we'll follow up tomorrow"

OAuth Setup (Recommended)

OAuth provides automatic token refresh and better security than API tokens.

Create a Front app at Settings > Developers > OAuth apps.
Set the redirect URI to https://localhost:9876/callback.
Enable the resource permissions your MCP server needs (Read, Write, Delete, Send).
Save the app — copy the Client ID from the OAuth feature (not the App secret from Settings).
Create ~/.front-mcp/config.json:

{
  "auth": {
    "method": "oauth",
    "oauth": {
      "client_id": "your-client-id",
      "client_secret_env": "FRONT_MCP_OAUTH_SECRET",
      "redirect_port": 9876,
      "scopes": []
    }
  }
}

Configure Claude Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "front": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@houst-com/front-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FRONT_MCP_AUTH_METHOD": "oauth",
        "FRONT_MCP_OAUTH_SECRET": "your-oauth-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run npx @houst-com/front-mcp auth to authenticate (opens browser).
Tokens are encrypted and stored locally (AES-256-GCM, 0600 permissions).

Auth CLI

front-mcp auth            # Start OAuth flow
front-mcp auth --status   # Check auth state (no token values shown)
front-mcp auth --clear    # Remove stored tokens
front-mcp --version       # Show version
front-mcp --help          # Show usage

Front Permissions

The MCP server needs Front API permissions matching the actions you want to use:

Permission	Required for
Read	All list/get/search actions
Write	create, update, assign, add, merge, reply
Delete	delete, remove actions
Send	messages.create, messages.reply

For OAuth, configure these in your Front app under Features > OAuth > Resource permissions. For API tokens, permissions are set when creating the token.

Tools Reference

Tool	Actions
`accounts`	list, get, create, update, delete, list_contacts, add_contact, remove_contact
`analytics`	create_export, get_export, create_report, get_report
`channels`	list, get, update, validate, create, list_for_teammate, list_for_team
`comments`	list, get, create, update, list_mentions, repl
