Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 5 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Managing your bot fleet shouldn't involve constant dashboard switching.

Today, checking on a chatbot ecosystem is a mess of tabs: one tab for Bot A's status, another for Bot B's metrics, and yet a third place to manually submit lead data. You end up copy-pasting IDs and switching between the main bot dashboard, the webhook console, and your CRM—it’s slow, error-prone, and frankly, annoying.

With The Botforge MCP Server, you keep it all in one chat window. Need to know if 'Sales Assistant' is online? Ask with an AI prompt. Want to feed a lead into 'Lead Intake'? Use the `submit_contact` tool. You get instant status checks and reliable data entry without leaving your agent.

The Botforge MCP Server: Submit Leads via Chat.

Manual lead capture involves filling out web forms, which breaks if the form changes or requires complex validation. You have to wait for a manual workflow step just to get data into the bot engine.

Now, you simply run `submit_contact` and pass your structured JSON payload. The agent handles the connection and data transfer instantly. It's clean, reliable, and works every time.

What your AI can actually do with this

The Botforge MCP Server manages your entire conversational AI backend from one place. You connect this server to your agent so you can control bot status, manage leads, and track user interactions using simple commands. It’s how you run a whole operation without leaving your main workspace.

Listing All Chatbots (list_bots)

The list_bots tool gives you a complete inventory of every chatbot set up in your Botforge account. You call this when you need to see all the names and IDs associated with your bots. It's how you verify what’s running; it returns a full list, so you don’t have to guess which bot ID belongs to which department or function.

Checking Operational Status (get_bot_status)

The get_bot_status tool verifies if any specific chatbot is online and responsive. You pass in a unique chatbot ID, and the server reports its current operational state. This lets you know instantly if a bot is active, offline, or running into issues, so your agent can alert you before users get stuck.

Retrieving Form Field Samples (get_samples)

Before sending any lead data, you need to know what the form expects. The get_samples tool retrieves sample data and metadata for a bot's contact form. You use this to understand exactly how your bot structures its required fields—whether it needs an email address in a certain format or if the name field accepts special characters.

It’s crucial for making sure your submissions don't bounce back.

Submitting Contact Data (submit_contact)

The submit_contact tool sends structured lead or contact information directly to a bot's primary form for logging and processing. You provide specific details, like a name and an email address, and the server handles sending that data correctly through the designated bot engine. This is your mechanism for automated lead capture; you use it when you need to log a prospect without manual copy-pasting.

Monitoring Real-Time Events (subscribe_webhook)

The subscribe_webhook tool sets up real-time event monitoring across all connected bots. You subscribe your system to webhooks, which means you get immediate notifications every time a user interacts with any bot in your account. This gives you visibility into conversation flow—you know the second an interaction happens, letting you track usage metrics and spot trends right away.

Questions you might have

How do I check if my bot is online using get_bot_status? +

You call get_bot_status and provide the specific Bot ID. The tool returns its current status—'Online,' 'Offline,' or 'Maintenance.' This tells you immediately if it's responsive.

What is the best way to automate lead capture with submit_contact? +

The submit_contact tool requires structured JSON data. Always use get_samples first to confirm the exact field names (like 'email' vs. 'user_email') your bot expects.

Can I track all user interactions in real time using subscribe_webhook? +

Yes, running subscribe_webhook links your system to the bot engine events. You get immediate notifications for every single user interaction across your entire fleet.

How do I list all my existing chatbots? Use list_bots. +

Just ask the agent to run list_bots. It immediately returns a complete inventory of every bot ID and name you've configured in The Botforge account.

Before I run `list_bots`, what credentials do I need to connect my agent? +

You'll need your The Botforge API Key. This key, found in your account dashboard, authenticates your connection and grants your AI client the permissions required to manage all listed bots.

How do I use `get_samples` to understand my bot’s expected data format? +

It returns sample data and field configurations for your specific bot. Use this output to build accurate JSON payloads, ensuring that the keys and required types match exactly what the bot expects.

If I use `submit_contact` with bad data, how do I handle validation errors? +

The tool returns a structured error message when submission fails. Always check the response payload for specific field violations—for instance, an invalid email format or missing required fields—and adjust your input accordingly.

Does `get_bot_status` help me monitor if my bot is running slowly or hitting rate limits? +

It confirms operational status and responsiveness. While it doesn't track load history, continuous performance issues will result in a non-optimal response time or an explicit throttling error code within the API output.

Can I check if a specific chatbot is online via AI? +

Yes! Use the get_bot_status tool and provide the Bot ID. Your agent will retrieve the current operational state of that specific bot.

How do I submit data to my bot's contact form using the agent? +

Use the submit_contact action. Provide the contact details (name, email, message) in a JSON string. The agent will transmit this data directly to the bot engine.

Is it possible to see which fields my bot expects in its form? +

Absolutely. Use the get_samples query. The agent will retrieve sample data based on your bot's configured form fields, helping you understand the required structure.
