Setup

The server has three modes, in priority order:

---

Option A: Proxy mode (no credentials needed)

If you already use the official Intercom MCP (mcp.intercom.com) via mcp-remote in Claude Code, this server will automatically proxy through that existing authenticated session. No tokens, no developer app required — just a regular Intercom workspace account.

Add both to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intercom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.intercom.com/mcp"]
    },
    "intercom-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/intercom-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

When intercom-local starts with no token set, it detects this and connects to mcp.intercom.com as a sub-process, reusing the mcp-remote session that is already authenticated. mcp-remote will prompt for browser login on first use.

---

Option B: Direct access token

If you have a workspace access token (from Intercom Settings → Developers → Access tokens):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intercom-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/intercom-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

---

Option C: OAuth app

If you have an Intercom developer account and want to register your own OAuth app, set INTERCOM_CLIENT_ID and INTERCOM_CLIENT_SECRET, then call the auth_start tool. It opens a local callback server, redirects your browser through Intercom's OAuth consent screen, and stores the token at ~/.intercom-mcp/token.json.
