The Chatway MCP server connects AI agents to your Chatway inbox over the Model Context Protocol. Ask your assistant to find conversations, summarize customer issues, reply to customers, assign agents, add private notes, search your knowledge base, and organize contacts, all in plain language. Pair it with Chatway webhooks to trigger your agents and workflows the moment a new message or event happens.

Available on every Chatway plan, including Free. There is nothing to install or host and no API key to manage: add the server URL to your AI client and sign in with your Chatway account.

Chatway Live Chat is an AI-powered customer support platform for live chat, AI chatbots, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and more, with a shared team inbox, automation, knowledge base, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Chatway MCP in action: Connect ChatGPT and other AI agents to your website live chat to manage customer conversations, reply to messages, and access your knowledge base.

Agent Skills: Ready-to-use AI Customer Support Workflows

Make your AI agents more powerful with Chatway Agent Skills, ready-to-use workflows that help ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other compatible AI agents manage customer support through Chatway.

While the Chatway MCP Server gives AI agents access to your customer conversations, contacts, and support tools, Agent Skills teach them how to use those tools to complete specific customer support tasks.

Available Agent Skills

Install the skills directly from the official Chatway GitHub repository:

Agent Skills and MCP connections are separate. Your AI client must support installing or loading Agent Skills, and you must separately authorize the Chatway MCP connection. Skill availability and installation methods vary by client.

Real-time events with webhooks

MCP lets your agent act in Chatway when you ask it to. Chatway webhooks work the other way: Chatway sends a signed HTTPS request to your endpoint as soon as something happens, such as a new visitor message, a new conversation, or a new contact. Use webhooks to wake up your AI agent or automation (n8n, Zapier, Make, or your own server) instead of polling, then let it read and reply through MCP or the Chatway API.

Webhooks are available on all plans, including Free. Set them up in Chatway under Settings → Developer Tools → Webhooks.

Example: Automatically answer customer support conversations

Combine Chatway webhooks with MCP to build an AI-powered customer support workflow that responds to incoming messages in real time.

Here's how it works:

1. Customer sends a message: A visitor sends a question through the Chatway website live chat widget.
2. Webhook triggers the workflow: Chatway instantly sends a webhook notification to your AI agent or automation platform (such as n8n, Make, Zapier, or your own server).
3. AI agent retrieves context: The agent uses Chatway MCP to read the conversation history, access customer information, and search your knowledge base for accurate answers.
4. AI agent responds automatically: The agent generates a relevant response and, when configured and authorized, automatically sends it to the customer through Chatway, without requiring human intervention. Alternatively, the agent can prepare a draft for human review and approval.
5. Support team stays informed: The entire conversation remains accessible in the Chatway shared inbox and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Human agents can take over whenever needed.

Fully automated customer support: With Chatway webhooks and MCP, you can connect external AI agents to automatically handle incoming customer messages, answer questions, and manage support conversations 24/7.

Note: MCP provides access to Chatway's tools and data, while webhooks notify your automation when events occur. Automatic responses require an external AI agent or workflow runner configured to process incoming events and execute MCP actions. MCP alone does not continuously monitor conversations.
