MCP (Model Context Protocol) Pro Actions give your AI assistant instant access to popular enterprise services like HubSpot, Zapier, and 20+ other platforms—without writing any code.

Unlike custom actions where you configure individual API calls, MCP Pro Actions connect to entire service ecosystems with hundreds of pre-built capabilities.

## How It Works

1. **Select a provider** → Choose from HubSpot, Zapier, and more
2. **Authenticate once** → API key authentication
3. **Pick capabilities** → Enable specific tools (e.g., "Search HubSpot contacts", "Create Zapier zap")
4. **Start using** → Your AI can now interact with that service

## MCP vs Custom Actions

| Feature | MCP Pro Actions | Custom Actions |
|---------|-----------------|----------------|
| **Setup Time** | 2 minutes | 10-30 minutes per action |
| **Capabilities** | 10-100+ per service | 1 per configuration |
| **Authentication** | API key setup | Manual API key setup |
| **Maintenance** | Provider handles updates | You maintain endpoints |
| **Best For** | Popular enterprise services | Your own APIs |

## Authentication Types

### OAuth (Recommended)
- **Services**: Notion, Asana, Atlassian
- **Setup**: Click "Connect" → Authorize in popup
- **Security**: Tokens managed automatically, can revoke anytime
- **Best For**: User-specific data access

### API Key
- **Services**: HubSpot, Close, Needle, Apify
- **Setup**: Paste your API key from the service
- **Security**: Encrypted storage, never exposed to AI
- **Best For**: Workspace or account-level access

### Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- **Services**: Asana, Semgrep, Dodo Payments
- **Setup**: Real-time streaming connection
- **Best For**: Live updates and monitoring

## Security & Privacy

**Your data stays secure:**
- OAuth tokens stored encrypted
- API keys never logged or exposed
- Scoped permissions (read-only when possible)
- Revoke access anytime in settings

**What the AI can access:**
- Only what you authorize during OAuth
- Limited to specific tools you enable
- No access to credentials or tokens
- All actions logged for audit

## Setup Guide

### OAuth Services (Notion, Asana, Atlassian)

1. Go to **Build** → **Capabilities** → **Add Pro Action**
2. Find your service (e.g., Notion)
3. Click **Connect**
4. Authorize in the popup window
5. Select which tools to enable
6. Click **Save**

<img src="/assets/docs/screenshots/mcp-oauth-flow.png" className="rounded-xl border border-gray-200 my-6" />

### API Key Services (HubSpot, Close, Needle)

1. Get your API key from the service:
   - **HubSpot**: Settings → Integrations → API Key
   - **Close**: Settings → Your API Keys → Create Key
   - **Needle**: Dashboard → API Keys → Generate
2. Go to **Build** → **Capabilities** → **Add Pro Action**
3. Find your service
4. Click **Configure**
5. Paste API key
6. Select transport type (HTTP or SSE)
7. Click **Test & List Tools**
8. Enable desired capabilities
9. Click **Save**

### Custom Remote MCP Server

Have your own MCP server? Connect it:

1. Click **Custom Remote MCP**
2. Enter server URL (e.g., `https://your-mcp-server.com/mcp`)
3. Choose transport: HTTP or SSE
4. Select auth type: None, Bearer, or API Key
5. Add credentials if required
6. Click **Test & List Tools**
7. Enable tools
8. Click **Save**

## Troubleshooting

### OAuth Connection Fails

**Problem**: Popup closes without connecting

**Solutions**:
- Allow popups for app.chipp.ai
- Try in an incognito window
- Check service status page
- Re-authorize from scratch

### API Key Invalid

**Problem**: "Authentication failed" error

**Solutions**:
- Verify key is copied completely
- Check key hasn't expired
- Ensure key has required permissions
- Generate a new key if needed

### Tools Not Appearing

**Problem**: No tools listed after connecting

**Solutions**:
- Check service is operational
- Verify authentication succeeded
- Try reconnecting
- Contact support if persists

### Rate Limits

**Problem**: "Too many requests" error

**Solutions**:
- Check service rate limits
- Upgrade service plan if needed
- Implement delays in prompts
- Contact provider support

## Best Practices

**Start small**: Enable 3-5 tools initially, expand as needed

**Be specific**: Use clear tool descriptions so AI knows when to use them

**Test first**: Try the action manually before letting AI use it

**Monitor usage**: Check logs regularly to understand AI behavior

**Revoke unused**: Disable tools you're not actively using

**Rotate keys**: Update API keys periodically for security

## Limitations

**Per service**:
- Most MCP providers support 10-100+ tools
- Rate limits vary by provider
- Some require paid service plans

**Per app**:
- No hard limit on MCP connections
- Performance may vary with 50+ enabled tools
- Consider grouping related capabilities

## Pricing

MCP Pro Actions are included with:
- ✅ Pro plan ($29/mo)
- ✅ Team plan ($99/mo)
- ✅ Business plan ($299/mo)
- ✅ Enterprise (custom pricing)

Individual service costs (separate from Chipp):
- Most services have free tiers
- Enterprise features may require paid plans
- Check each provider's pricing page
