What is the Hookdeck (Webhook Gateway) MCP Server?
Connect your Hookdeck account to any AI agent and take full control of your webhook gateway and event-driven architecture through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Connection Management — List, create, and update connections that route events from sources to destinations with specific rules.
- Operational Control — Instantly pause, unpause, enable, or disable connections to handle maintenance or traffic spikes without touching code.
- Source Monitoring — Manage your webhook sources, retrieve their configurations, and monitor the flow of incoming events.
- Infrastructure Auditing — Count active connections and sources to get a high-level overview of your integration health.
- Lifecycle Actions — Delete or update existing infrastructure components as your project requirements evolve.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hookdeck API Key
- Start managing your webhook reliability from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between dashboards to pause a failing webhook or check a source configuration. Your AI acts as a dedicated DevOps engineer for your event pipeline.
Who is this for?
- Backend Engineers — quickly debug and manage webhook routes without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- DevOps & SREs — automate the enabling/disabling of connections during deployment windows or incidents.
- Support Engineers — check source configurations and connection statuses to troubleshoot client integration issues.

Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the Hookdeck (Webhook Gateway) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pause a specific webhook connection if my destination server is undergoing maintenance?
Yes. Use the pause_connection tool with the Connection ID. This will hold incoming events until you use unpause_connection to resume delivery.
How do I see all the active sources currently receiving webhooks?
Simply ask the agent to run list_sources. It will return a list of all configured sources, including their IDs and current status.
Is it possible to get a quick count of how many connections I have configured?
Yes, the count_connections tool provides the total number of connections in your Hookdeck project instantly.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
