GoHighLevel MCP Server

Managed CRM & Marketing Automation Protocol

Bridge your AI agents with GoHighLevel sub-accounts. This MCP server enables LLMs to manage contacts, send SMS/Emails, and trigger marketing workflows through natural language.

Agencies and marketers use GoHighLevel MCP to run their entire GHL stack through AI. Instead of manually moving leads or sending one-off SMS, you can instruct your agent: 'Find all leads tagged "cold" and send them the current promotion SMS, then add them to the Re-engagement workflow.' This level of automation turns GHL into a powerful, AI-driven marketing engine.

  • Launch marketing campaigns via natural language
  • AI-driven lead nurturing and SMS reactivation
  • Unified control of GHL sub-accounts for agencies
  • Automated opportunity tracking across pipelines

Automated Review Request

Scenario: An appointment is marked as 'Completed'. AI triggers a review request workflow in GHL.
Steps:
  1. AI detects appointment completion in GHL Calendar
  2. GoHighLevel MCP finds the contact associated with the appointment
  3. AI calls add_to_workflow for 'Review Request Automation'
  4. Contact receives SMS/Email review link
Outcome: Consistent review collection without manual effort. Boosts GMB and social proof automatically.
