How to get started with the Landbot MCP

Desirée M Updated by Desirée M

Add the Landbot MCP to your AI assistant and sign in to Landbot, and the AI assistant can build, change and publish agents in your account. Setup takes a couple of minutes and installs nothing on your computer.

What do you need before you start?

● A Landbot account, on any plan. If you don't have one yet, you can create it from the sign-in screen that opens when you connect.

● An AI assistant that supports MCP servers: Claude (on the web, in the desktop app, in Cowork or in the mobile apps), Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Other tools that support remote MCP servers work too: see How to add the Landbot MCP to other AI tools below.

Custom connectors are available on every Claude plan. On the Free plan you can add one custom connector. See Anthropic's guide to custom connectors.
ChatGPT can't connect to the Landbot MCP yet.
If you use the Landbot Plugin, you don't need to add the Landbot MCP yourself: the Landbot Plugin connects to it for you. See How to get started with the Landbot Plugin.

How to add the Landbot MCP to Claude

1️⃣ In Claude, open Customize › Connectors, select + Add and choose Add custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds it once in Organization settings › Connectors; each member then finds Landbot under Customize › Connectors and selects Connect.

2️⃣ Name the connector Landbot, paste https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp as the URL and select Continue.

3️⃣ Select Connect, sign in to your Landbot account (with your password or with Google) and approve access. The Landbot MCP asks to read, create, edit and publish your agents, read, create and edit their AI agents, read your connected accounts and the spreadsheets they reach, ask for another account to be connected, and read and change how your web chats look.

4️⃣ Open a new chat and type: "List my Landbot agents." Claude replies with the agents in your Landbot account.

Once added, the Landbot connector is available in Claude on the web, in the Claude desktop app, in Cowork and in the Claude mobile apps. Adding a connector from the mobile app is still in beta, so add it from a computer.

You're all set! 🎉 Continue with How to build, test and publish an agent with the Landbot MCP or the Landbot Plugin.

How to add the Landbot MCP to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor

These tools connect to the Landbot MCP at https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp. The first time the connection is used, your browser opens Landbot's sign-in and asks you to approve access.

● Claude Code: in a terminal, run claude mcp add --transport http landbot https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp. Then type /mcp in Claude Code, pick landbot and sign in. If you install the Landbot Plugin instead, it adds this connection for you.

● Codex: in a terminal, run codex mcp add landbot --url https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp, then codex mcp login landbot.

● Cursor: open Cursor's MCP settings and add https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp as a remote MCP server (transport: Streamable HTTP). Sign in when Cursor asks.

To check the connection, ask: "List my Landbot agents."

How to add the Landbot MCP to other AI tools

Other AI tools that support remote MCP servers with a sign-in (OAuth) may also connect to https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp. Landbot tests Claude, Claude Code and Codex, not the tools below: follow each tool's own documentation.

● VS Code with GitHub Copilot: add the server to .vscode/mcp.json as { "servers": { "landbot": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp" } } }, start it and sign in when VS Code asks.

● Windsurf: add { "mcpServers": { "landbot": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp" } } } to its MCP configuration.

● Kiro: add { "mcpServers": { "landbot": { "url": "https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp" } } } to its MCP configuration.

● Lovable, Replit and Base44: add https://mcp.landbot.io/mcp as a custom MCP server in the builder's settings (Lovable: Custom MCP server; Replit: Integrations › MCP servers; Base44: Settings › Account › MCP connections). Once connected, you can ask the builder's AI to create your Landbot agent and embed it in the app you're building.

For the connection details, every tool and the permissions the Landbot MCP asks for, see the Landbot MCP server guide.

What can the AI assistant do with the Landbot MCP?

With the Landbot MCP, the AI assistant can:

● See your agents and how each one is built.

● Create new agents and change existing ones, for Web, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and APIchat.

● Set up an AI Agent block that answers visitors' questions, and teach it from texts and public web pages.

● Send an agent to its test link, and publish it after you approve.

● Connect your Google Sheets, SendGrid or Calendly account to an agent.

● Change how the web chat looks: switch an agent to the current web chat, apply Custom CSS and show or hide the Back button.

● Upload an image, video, audio or document from your computer for the agent to show. This works from a tool that can run commands on your computer, such as Claude Code or Codex, for files up to 30 MB. Anyone with the file's link can open it.

Design changes the Landbot MCP makes to a published agent go to the agent's draft. Visitors see them after you publish the agent from the Landbot builder.

How to connect Google Sheets, SendGrid or Calendly

The Landbot MCP connects Google Sheets, SendGrid and Calendly to your agent through a secure link. You approve access in your browser, so you never share a password in the chat.

1️⃣ Ask for what you need, for example: "Save each lead to a Google Sheet."

2️⃣ If no matching account is connected to Landbot yet, the AI assistant sends you a link.

3️⃣ Open the link in a browser where you're signed in to Landbot. Approve access at Google or Calendly, or enter your SendGrid sender and API key on that page.

4️⃣ Go back to the chat and say you're done. The AI assistant checks the connection and finishes the agent.

The link works once and expires after 15 minutes. If it expires, ask for a new one.
To connect an account, your Landbot user needs permission to edit integrations.
If your Google Sheet isn't listed, paste the sheet's link into the chat.
The Landbot Plugin connects Google Sheets, SendGrid and Calendly the same way.
