Once created, click on your app, then navigate to Authentication in the left sidebar. Your Access Token will be displayed on this page.

Can I look up a customer's full conversation history instantly?
Yes. Just ask your AI agent 'Show me all conversations with john@acme.com' and it retrieves every conversation — open, closed, and snoozed — including message content, agent assignments, tags, and resolution times. Perfect for getting full context before a customer call.
Can I track support team performance metrics?
Yes. Your AI agent can pull conversation counts, average response times, resolution rates, and open ticket volumes — giving managers instant visibility into team workload and SLA compliance without building custom reports or opening the Intercom analytics dashboard.
Is my customer data secure?
Your Access Token is a private app token that only accesses data in your own Intercom workspace. It respects your workspace's permission model — the token only has access to the scopes you explicitly grant. All API calls are made over HTTPS, and the token is never shared with third parties.

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
