MCP Authentication

The MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for authentication. When you connect from an AI client like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or ChatGPT, the OAuth flow is handled automatically — you just log in with your Local Business Pro credentials and authorize the connection. No passwords are shared with the AI assistant. Your connection can be revoked at any time from Settings > Connected Apps in Local Business Pro. Connections remain active until you revoke them or your session expires.

mcp:useFull accessAll available tools
mcp:readRead-only accessView business info, contacts, conversations, appointments, invoices, and more
mcp:writeWrite accessUpdate contacts, configure receptionist, run automations, and more (also grants read access)
