Developer API

Manage your AI setters programmatically.

SetterFlow ships a remote Model Context Protocol server so you — or an AI agent — can list, create, and edit your own AI setters from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Every request is scoped strictly to the account that minted the key.

POST https://www.setterflow.com/api/mcpStreamable HTTPStateless
01Quickstart

Mint a key, then call the endpoint

Three steps from zero to a live tool call. Most people skip curl and point Claude Code or Cursor at the same URL.

  1. 1Mint a key

    In the dashboard, open Settings → API Keys and create a key with a read, read + write or read + inbox scope. The full sf_… token is shown once — copy it immediately.

  2. 2Send Bearer auth

    Send it on every request as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer sf_…

  3. 3Call JSON-RPC

    Speak JSON-RPC over Streamable HTTP: initialize, list tools, then call one. The transport is stateless — each request is authenticated on its own.

curl · streamable http
# 1) Initialize the session (handshake)
curl -sS https://www.setterflow.com/api/mcp \

                 "capabilities":{},
                 "clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}}}'

# 2) List the tools your key can call
curl -sS https://www.setterflow.com/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sf_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

02Scopes

Three coarse scopes. Nothing in between.

A write key does not implicitly grant read — grant both if a single key should do everything. A key can also be limited to some of your setters.

read

30 tools

Read-only tools — list and inspect your data. Safe to hand to something that should only look, never change.

write

32 tools

Every mutating tool (create / update / delete / configure). A write key can change everything you own — treat it like a password.

inbox

12 tools

Work the inbox from a staff app: read threads and leads, reply as a person, pause or resume the bot, translate, set lead status. Never settings, documents or deletes.

03Tool catalog

64 tools, grouped by area

Generated directly from the live server registry — it always matches what your key can call.

Account

3 tools

Who you are and your account posture.

whoamireador inbox

Return the authenticated caller identity (userId, granted scopes, and the setters this key is limited to: chatbotIds, or null for all of them). No database access.

No arguments

get_accountread

Get the caller's own account (identity + subscription posture).

No arguments

update_profilewrite

Update the caller's own profile (full_name only).

ArgTypeRequired
full_namestringrequired

Chatbots

5 tools

Create, read, update, and delete your AI setters.

list_chatbotsread

List the caller's own chatbots (AI setters).

No arguments

get_chatbotread

Get one chatbot the caller owns.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
create_chatbotwrite

Create a chatbot (AI setter) owned by the caller. owner_id is forced server-side. Recommended: set `playbook` (see list_playbooks) and `business_profile` (see update_business_profile); with a playbook, system_prompt holds only the business's own notes and may be short.

Appearance & widget config

2 tools

The widget customization blob — colors, launcher, proactive teaser, Articles tab, and the invitation layer — plus the logo URL.

get_bot_configread

Read a chatbot's widget config (customization JSONB + logo_url) for a bot the caller owns. Null sub-objects mean unset (not default-filled).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
update_bot_configwrite

Update a chatbot's widget config (read-merge-write). Send only the top-level customization keys you want to change; omitted top-level keys are preserved. WARNING: a sub-object you include (proactive / articlesTab) REPLACES the stored one wholesale, so send the FULL sub-object with all its fields. logo_url is a separate column (http/https URL, or null to clear) — not part of customization.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
customizationobject — see docs/mcp.mdoptional
logo_urlstring (http/https URL)optional

Setter config (lead capture)

2 tools

Lead-capture settings — industry template, qualification questions, and collected fields.

get_lead_settingsread

Read lead-capture settings for a chatbot the caller owns (null if unconfigured).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
configure_lead_settingswrite

Configure lead-capture for a chatbot the caller owns. Expands the named industry template server-side; overrides are optional.

Knowledge base

5 tools

Plain-text documents that your setter can answer from.

add_knowledge_documentwrite

Add a plain-text knowledge document to a chatbot the caller owns. Live in the bot's knowledge base on the next chat turn; counts against the document quota.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
titlestringrequired
contentstringrequired
list_documentsread

List knowledge-base documents for a chatbot the caller owns (crawler-projected docs excluded; document text not included).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
get_documentread

Get one knowledge-base document (including its text content) on a chatbot the caller owns.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
documentIdstringrequired
delete_documentwrite

Delete a knowledge-base document on a chatbot the caller owns.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
documentIdstringrequired
update_knowledge_documentwrite

Edit a knowledge-base document's text. mode 'replace_text' swaps an exact passage (target) for replacement; 'append' adds text at the end; 'rewrite' replaces the whole content. Every edit records a revision that can be undone. Editing a crawled page creates an override document instead, so the next crawl cannot erase the correction.

Website & crawl

7 tools

Register website sources, trigger background crawls that feed the knowledge base, and curate which crawled pages appear in the widget Articles tab.

add_website_sourcewrite

Add a website source to a chatbot the caller owns (idempotent on URL). The URL must be an http/https address. This only registers the source; call trigger_crawl to start crawling (which runs in the background — poll get_crawl_status).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
urlstring (http/https URL)required
configure_website_sourcewrite

Configure an existing website source's crawl behavior for a chatbot the caller owns. `refresh_interval_minutes` sets the auto-recrawl cadence. `url_filter` (with `include` and/or `exclude` arrays of URL substrings/patterns) limits which pages are crawled. Only the fields you send are changed; omitted fields are preserved. The sourceId must belong to the chatbot, else 'not found'. Returns the source's config after the update. (Use add_website_source to create a source, trigger_crawl to start a crawl.)

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
sourceIdstringrequired
refresh_interval_minutesnumberoptional
url_filterobject — see docs/mcp.mdoptional
trigger_crawlwrite

Trigger a crawl for a chatbot the caller owns. Provide a sourceId to crawl one source (it must belong to the chatbot, else 'not found'), or omit it to crawl all of the chatbot's sources. Crawling runs in the background — poll get_crawl_status for progress.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
sourceIdstringoptional
list_website_sourcesread

List the website sources for a chatbot the caller owns (each with its seed URL, refresh cadence, and current crawl status).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
get_crawl_statusread

Poll the crawl status for a chatbot the caller owns — one status row per source (last crawl status/time, latest job status, page counts). Use this to track a crawl started by trigger_crawl.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
list_source_articlesread

List a crawled source's article/content pages for a chatbot the caller owns — each with its storage_path (the id used by set_article_curation), title, url, and current show_in_article_tab flag. Paginated (limit/offset) and optionally filtered by search. Use this to discover which pages exist before curating the widget Articles tab.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
sourceIdstringrequired
limitnumberoptional
offsetnumberoptional
searchstringoptional
set_article_curationwrite

Show or hide ONE crawled page in the widget's public Articles tab, for a chatbot the caller owns. Pass the page's storage_path (from list_source_articles) and enabled (true = show, false = hide). NOTE: the Articles tab itself must also be enabled via update_bot_config (customization.articlesTab.enabled) for curated pages to render to visitors.

ArgTypeRequired

Follow-ups

4 tools

Automated follow-up message templates.

list_followupsread

List follow-up message templates for a chatbot the caller owns.

update_crm_connectionwrite

Update an existing CRM connection's push behavior on a chatbot the caller owns: auto_push_enabled (on/off), push_on_status (hot | warm | any — which leads get pushed), and is_active. The api_key credential can't be changed here — rotate it by deleting and re-creating the connection. Only the fields you send change. The secret api_key is never returned.

list_calendar_connectionsread

List calendar connections for a chatbot the caller owns. Access/refresh tokens are never returned.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
delete_calendar_connectionwrite

Delete calendar connections for a chatbot the caller owns (calendar create is OAuth-only, not available via MCP).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
configure_availabilitywrite

Set booking availability on a chatbot's ACTIVE calendar connection (a bot the caller owns) — the write side of the availability list_calendar_connections returns. `days` REQUIRES all seven keys (mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun), each { start, end (24-hour "HH:MM"), enabled }; a disabled day is closed. slotDuration and bufferMinutes are minutes; timezone is an IANA name (e.g. "Europe/Nicosia"). This REPLACES the stored availability wholesale. Requires a calendar already connected via OAuth — a bot with no active calendar returns 'not found'.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
availability_configobject — see docs/mcp.mdrequired
list_social_connectionsread

List social (Facebook Messenger / Instagram) connections for a chatbot the caller owns. The Meta page access_token is never returned.

ArgTypeRequired

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
connectionIdstringrequired
set_social_auto_replywrite

Turn auto-reply on or off for one social (Messenger / Instagram) connection on a chatbot the caller owns. When off, the bot stops answering that channel automatically so a human can take over the inbox. Returns the updated connection (access_token never included).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
connectionIdstringrequired
enabledbooleanrequired
list_social_conversationsreador inbox

List a setter's Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp conversations, newest first, with the bot's state on each (paused, a person replied, waiting for a reply and why). needs_reply: true lists only customers waiting on a person.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
limitnumberoptional
offsetnumberoptional
needs_replybooleanoptional
get_social_conversationreador inbox

Read one Messenger, Instagram or WhatsApp conversation (up to 100 messages). Each outbound message says who sent it: bot, human, auto (the business app's own auto-reply) or followup; actor_name is set when a person replied through the API. attachments lists media on a message (path, url, mime_type), [] when none.

ArgTypeRequired
conversationIdstringrequired

Analytics

1 tool

Account-level and per-bot usage counters and daily stats.

get_analyticsread

Read analytics. Omit chatbotId for account-level usage (messages, documents, chatbots, social connections for the current period). Provide a chatbotId you own for that bot's message count, last message time, and recent daily stats.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringoptional

Inbox

5 tools

Work the inbox from another app: the merged list, replies as a person, translation, and a signed ids-only webhook. Replies and translation need the inbox scope.

list_inboxreador inbox

One setter's inbox, website chat and Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp merged, newest activity first, the same list as the SetterFlow inbox. Each row has the channel (platform), the bot's state (handled_by_human, human_replied_at, bot_resumes_at) and, for social threads, whether a customer waits on a person (needs_reply_since, handoff_reason). needs_reply: true lists only those. Paginated: limit 1..100 (default 20), offset; total is the full count.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
limitnumberoptional
offsetnumberoptional
needs_replybooleanoptional
platformenum(widget | facebook_messenger | instagram | whatsapp)optional
send_conversation_replyinbox

Reply as a person in one conversation (needs the inbox scope; write is not enough). actor_name says who replied and shows in the SetterFlow inbox as "Team (<actor_name>)". Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp: sent through Meta now, the bot pauses for the setter's pause window, an open handoff closes, queued follow-ups are cancelled. A WhatsApp reply more than 24 hours after the customer's last message fails with code whatsapp_window_closed and nothing is stored. Website chat: stored for the visitor's open widget and the bot is paused (handled_by_human) in the same call. Errors come back as {"error","code"}.

ArgTypeRequired
conversationIdstringrequired
textstringrequired
actor_namestringrequired
translate_conversationinbox

Translate a website-chat conversation into English for the person reading it (needs the inbox scope). Detects each message's language, translates the ones not in English and caches both on the message, so a second call is free. Returns spokenLanguage, the visitor's browser language and per-message {id, source_language, translated_text}. Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp threads return supported: false.

ArgTypeRequired
conversationIdstringrequired
get_inbox_webhookread

Read the account's inbox webhook: url, enabled, events, last delivery time and status. The signing secret is never returned.

No arguments

set_inbox_webhookwrite

Set where SetterFlow POSTs inbox events for this account, or pass url: null to turn it off. Events: conversation.message_received, conversation.needs_reply. The body carries ids, channel, timestamps and flags only, never message text or names. Each request is signed: header X-SetterFlow-Signature: t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex HMAC-SHA256 of '<t>.<raw body>' with the secret>; reject timestamps more than 5 minutes off. url must be public https. secret (32 to 256 characters) is required the first time and never returned. Keys limited to specific setters can not change it.

Conversations

3 tools

Read website chat and Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp conversations, and pause or resume the bot on one.

list_conversationsreador inbox

List widget (website chat) conversations for a chatbot the caller owns (newest first). Returns id, session_id, attribution (the owner's own marketing metadata), and created_at. For Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp use list_social_conversations; for both merged use list_inbox.

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
limitnumberoptional
offsetnumberoptional
get_conversationreador inbox

Get one widget conversation and its messages (capped at 100, oldest first) — resolved only after verifying the caller owns the chatbot the conversation belongs to. A conversation you do not own returns forbidden/not found. Widget conversations only.

ArgTypeRequired
conversationIdstringrequired
set_conversation_botwriteor inbox

Control the setter on one conversation. pause: the bot stays quiet until resumed (on Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp it also cancels queued follow-ups, like Pause bot in the inbox). resume: the bot answers again (also ends the pause after a person replied). mark_handled: the customer waiting on a person has been dealt with (social only).

ArgTypeRequired
conversationIdstringrequired
actionenum(pause | resume | mark_handled)required

Leads

ArgTypeRequired
leadIdstringrequired
update_leadwriteor inbox

Update a lead's status (hot | warm | cold | converted | lost) and/or notes — the only mutable fields (everything else is captured from the conversation). Only if the caller owns the chatbot the lead belongs to. Pass notes as a string to set it, or null to clear it. Send at least one field.

ArgTypeRequired
leadIdstringrequired
statusenum(hot | warm | cold | converted | lost)optional

Widget

2 tools

The ready-to-paste embed snippet, plus the origin allowlist that controls which sites may embed a bot.

set_allowed_originswrite

Set the widget origin allowlist for a chatbot the caller owns — which website origins may embed and talk to this bot. Pass an array of http/https ORIGINS (scheme://host[:port], no path), e.g. ["https://www.example.com","https://example.com"]; list www and apex separately (exact match, no wildcards). An EMPTY array clears the allowlist and makes the widget embeddable from ANY origin (the default). Entries are canonicalized server-side; an invalid entry rejects the whole call. Read the current value via get_chatbot (allowed_origins).

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
allowed_originsarrayrequired
get_widget_snippetread

ArgTypeRequired
chatbotIdstringrequired
create_custom_actionwrite

Create a Custom Action on a chatbot the caller owns. Define name (snake_case), description (drives when the model calls it), kind (read|write), parameters (JSON Schema for the args the model extracts), and request ({method,url,headers,body} — {{args.x}} and {{secret}} are interpolated at call time). secret is encrypted at rest and injected into headers, never shown to the model. response_map whitelists which response fields reach the model (everything else, including PII, is dropped). Optionally set allowed_hosts (host allowlist) and timeout_ms.

list_playbooksread

List the industry playbooks a setter can follow (salon, clinic, restaurant, hotel, real_estate, tours, b2b, generic): each one's know-how, shared by every setter in that industry. Facts never live in a playbook; they go in the business profile.

No arguments

get_business_profileread

Read a setter's playbook and business profile (structured facts: summary, location, hours, services and prices, team, links, contacts with a share rule, policies, what it offers and does not). Also returns facts_preview, exactly what the setter reads before its knowledge base, and notes_warnings from the prompt checker.

ArgTypeRequired

04Recipe

Turn on the invitation layer

The ambient, page-aware invitation is part of the widget customization, so a write key configures it through update_bot_config — no new tool. Auto-detect finds your prices and cards; smart copy writes a line per element. Flip it on with one call.

curl · streamable http
# Turn on the invitation layer for one of your chatbots.
# It lives in the widget customization, so you set it with the existing
# update_bot_config tool — no special endpoint. Sub-objects replace wholesale,
# so send the FULL invitation object (read get_bot_config first to preserve
# any custom elementTypes).
curl -sS https://www.setterflow.com/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sf_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":4,"method":"tools/call",

         }}}}}'

Sub-objects replace wholesale — send the full invitation object, and read current state with get_bot_config first if you're preserving custom elementTypes.

05Limitations

A few capabilities are deliberately partial

Known edges, called out so you don't discover them mid-build.

  • OAuth connect is not available

    Establishing a new Google Calendar or Facebook/Instagram connection needs an interactive browser consent screen (human OAuth), so there is no connect tool. You can read and disconnect existing connections, but the initial connect happens once in the dashboard.

  • Logo is a URL, not a file

    update_bot_config accepts logo_url as an http/https URL string only — there is no binary/image upload over MCP.

  • Conversations are widget-only

    list_conversations and get_conversation return widget conversations only; social (Messenger / Instagram) transcripts are not exposed via MCP yet.
