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 sendassign_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.
