MCP Server for Intercom Support Automation

Connecting Intercom conversations and the Messenger to MCP tools for automated triage and reply drafting.

Intercom botsReply-draft review comments

Intercom's conversation API supports both reading live chat threads and posting replies, which makes it a common first integration for support-automation agents.

Core Tools

  • get_conversation(conversation_id)
  • draft_reply(conversation_id, message) — returns a draft, doesn't send
  • assign_conversation(conversation_id, team_id)

Draft, Don't Auto-Send

Most production deployments keep a human in the loop for sending — the agent drafts, a support rep approves. Direct auto-send is where most reported Intercom-bot incidents originate.
