Every option here is checked by hand and written up the same way: what it does, what it costs, and exactly where it stops. Some can read your CRM. Some can write to it. A few can even build and audit workflows. This list shows you which is which.
Real Wave pays for this list and sells a paid GoHighLevel MCP server. It is on the list and judged the same way as everything else, and we say where the free options beat it. See its entry.
Re-checked every 60 days. Have the changes emailed to you.
Answer the ones you have an opinion about and skip the rest. Each answer moves the filters on the list below, so nothing here is a separate quiz you have to finish.
Nothing matches those filters. .
Every row above was checked 6 August 2026. The next check is due by 5 October 2026. Tool counts are each project's own claim, quoted, not audited. Email me when a row changes
Tick two or more rows to put them side by side. Four at a time is the limit, because a fifth column stops being readable on anything smaller than a desktop. Every row opens its full entry, and the entry has its own address you can link to.
Free means free to use, or free to install and self host. Paid means the platform charges you, even where the connector itself is free. Open source covers the community repos on GitHub and n8n, which is source available. The official endpoints, Zapier, Make and Real Wave are commercial. Registries and the client-side page are catalogues, not a server, so they show under All only on the source switch and carry no compare box. Builds workflows and forms means the option can author native GoHighLevel workflows rather than only read records and change them. Two rows qualify. Real Wave authors workflows and forms and reopens each one in the builder to confirm it. The BusyBee3333 2026 Complete repo claims workflow authoring through the undocumented internal API, and its own setup omits the credential that path needs, which is why it keeps its caveat chips wherever it appears.
The licence and auth filters read each entry's own stated licence and its own stated authentication sentence. Where a project has not stated one, the row carries no facet and appears under Any only, because an unknown licence is not a licence. Sorting by tools claimed uses the number each project states about itself, never a count of ours, and rows that state no number always sort last. A meta tool is not the same unit as a named tool, so that order is a rough guide and not a ranking. Tool counts are each project's own claim, quoted, not audited.
Read the full list above if you want to choose carefully. If you just want a quick answer, here is where most people land in each group.
Free with your account, made by HighLevel, about 36 tools. Where almost everyone should start.
MIT licensed and the most actively maintained of the five. The two most popular carry a non commercial licence, so read it first.
Ships triggers, so no extra setup, and runs an MCP server on every plan. Pick n8n if you want to self host for free.
PulseMCP is the easiest single place to look. Being listed is not a sign of quality.
Claude Code and Cursor connect to the official server directly. Claude web and desktop need a small helper first.
The one option that builds real GoHighLevel workflows and checks its own work in the builder. Paid, no free tier. Judged the same way, and we say where free beats it.
These are our opinions, said plainly, and never sorted by who paid us. The full comparison of every option, free and paid, is on highlevel-mcp.com.
GoHighLevel's public API exposes exactly one workflow operation and it is a read. The original official MCP server exposes none at all. Creating or changing a workflow through the API has been asked for repeatedly on GoHighLevel's own ideas board and has not shipped.
Same questions, every time. That is what makes the comparison fair.
Who maintains it, and what does the licence actually say? We open the LICENSE file rather than trusting the badge.
What does the AI act as, and where does the credential live? This decides what happens when a contractor leaves.
Can it read, act, or build? Almost everything in this category stops at the second one.
What does it cost in time, not money? Free software with a two evening install is not free.
Where does it stop? Stated at the top of the entry, not buried at the bottom.
Yes, we have skin in this game. Real Wave pays for this site and sells one of the tools on it. We graded ourselves with the same five questions as everyone else, and where a free tool beats us, we say so. Awkward, but true. See our entry.
The official HighLevel MCP does exactly this, it is free with the account you already pay for, and it is first party. Set it up and stop.
Clone one of the community servers and read it end to end. A small MCP server is a few hundred lines and it is the fastest honest education in the protocol available.
If the job is when this happens, do that, on a schedule, forever, you want n8n or Make, not an AI in the loop.
None of those three is a reason to buy anything, including from the company that pays for this page. We would rather you leave than buy the wrong thing and decide the whole category is a scam.
Every option on this page, checked the same way, with the date each one was last looked at. It moves: licences change, repositories go quiet, and HighLevel ships things that move the wall. Leave an address and the changes come to you, instead of you re-checking every one of them yourself.
One email when something here changes. Nothing else, ever.
One email per change, with an unsubscribe link in every one. Real Wave pays for this list, so the address sits in Real Wave's system and is used for exactly this.

MCP is the Model Context Protocol. An MCP server exposes tools an AI client like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can call. A GoHighLevel MCP server exposes GoHighLevel actions as those tools, so the AI can look up a contact or move an opportunity without you clicking through the interface.
No. HighLevel ships it as part of the platform. You issue a private integration token and point your AI client at it. If reading and updating records is all you need, use it.
No. Workflows are exposed read only. Workflow CRUD via API is an open, unshipped request on HighLevel's own ideas board, which is where the claim is sourced rather than asserted.
About 36 on the original endpoint at the last check, on 6 August 2026. The newer v2 endpoint exposes six meta-tools fronting a much larger operation set instead. HighLevel ships changes, so treat any exact number as dated.
Not from one token. Private integration tokens are scoped per location, so a fleet means a token per location and no single view across them.
Yes, more than one. GoHighLevel ships its own MCP server at no extra cost on top of your account. There are also several free, open source MCP servers on GitHub that you host yourself. The official one is where almost everyone should start.
Four is the most that stays readable at once. Remove one to add another.
