How do I get my GoHighLevel API key?

Log in to your GoHighLevel sub-account. Click **Settings** (bottom left corner). Navigate to **Business Profile**. Scroll down to the **API Key** section — your key will be displayed there, or click **Generate Key** if one hasn't been created. Copy the key and paste it below. Note: In newer accounts, you may see a **Private Integration** option instead — create one and use the generated token.

Can I manage multiple client accounts from one agent?

Yes. Each GoHighLevel sub-account has its own API key. Configure separate integrations for each client account and your AI agent can switch between them — managing contacts, deals, and campaigns across your entire agency portfolio.

Can my AI agent move deals through pipeline stages?

Yes. Your agent can list all pipeline stages, view deals in each stage, update deal values, and move opportunities between stages — giving your sales team a conversational way to manage their entire sales process.

Does this work with GoHighLevel's white-label versions?

Yes. The API is the same regardless of whether you use GoHighLevel directly or through a white-label reseller. The API key from your sub-account works identically across all branded versions of the platform.

GoHighLevel + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating GoHighLevel MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design — tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
