Add internal note

Add an internal note to an Intercom conversation. Notes are internal-only and never visible to the end user, and this tool cannot send customer-visible replies. Adding a note never changes the assignee. If the conversation is snoozed and assigned to someone other than the authenticated teammate, adding a note will unsnooze (reopen) it. Use this to leave context, analysis, or a drafted response for a teammate to review in the Inbox. Required fields: - conversation_id: The conversation to add the note to. Accepts a raw numeric ID (e.g. '12345'), the prefixed form 'conversation_12345', or an Intercom Inbox URL. Regular conversations only — ticket IDs are not a supported input. - body: The note content in HTML format (plain text is also accepted). Whitespace between block-level tags is converted into empty paragraphs and renders as unwanted blank space, so emit tags with no newlines or indentation between them. The note is attributed to the admin who authorized this MCP connection; authorship cannot be set per call. A 401/unauthorized error carries error_code and reauthorization_required plus a message naming the fix for this connection; relay that message to the user. Returns a short confirmation with the conversation id and the created note part (id, part_type, created_at, author); a part_type of 'note_and_unsnooze' means the note unsnoozed the conversation. Call get_conversation to read the full thread.

Required fields: - title: The article title - author_id: Numeric ID of the admin/teammate who authored the article Optional fields: - description: A short summary of the article - body: The article content in HTML format. Whitespace between block-level tags is converted into empty paragraphs and renders as unwanted blank space, so emit tags with no newlines or indentation between them. To create a deliberate blank line, insert a paragraph whose only content is  . - state: 'published' or 'draft' (defaults to draft if not specified) - parent_id: Numeric ID of the parent collection or section - parent_type: 'collection' or 'section' (required if parent_id is set) Returns the created article metadata (id, title, state, timestamps, parent).

Search

Purpose: 1. Search for resources in Intercom (conversations and contacts) using a unified query approach. For companies, use the list_companies tool. 2. Note that only a subset of properties will be returned in search results. 3. For complete details, use the Fetch tool with the returned IDs. Usage: 1. MUST specify object_type:conversations OR object_type:contacts to indicate which API to call. 2. Use specific field searches for precise filtering (e.g., email:john@example.com). 3. Use the starting_after parameter for pagination when more results exist. 4. Combine multiple search criteria with logical operators for complex queries. Search Tool Response: 1. Returns results with id, title, text, and url for each match. 2. IDs are prefixed with 'conversation_' or 'contact_' to indicate type. 3. Use these IDs with the Fetch tool to get complete resource details. Note: When filtering by id/contact_ids in queries, provide raw IDs without prefixes. If you pass prefixed IDs to get_conversation/get_contact, they are accepted and normalized.

Submit mcp feedback

Submit feedback about this Intercom MCP server to the Intercom team that builds it. After completing a task, briefly consider whether any capability on this server was missing, produced wrong or confusing results, or was harder to use than it should have been. If so, submit feedback so the team can improve the server. Also use this when the user explicitly asks to send feedback about this MCP server. Do NOT use this for: - Problems with OTHER MCP servers or their tools (Slack, Notion, GitHub, Google Drive, and so on) — even if this is the only feedback tool available in your session. This channel reaches only the team that builds the Intercom MCP server; they cannot act on another system's bugs, and misfiled reports degrade the signal used to prioritize Intercom improvements. If another server's tool failed, tell the user instead. Never file it here "so it is captured somewhere". - The Intercom product itself (the web app, the Inbox UI, Fin, pricing, billing) — this channel covers only this MCP server's tool surface. Nothing filed here reaches the Intercom product teams. - Support requests: nothing is created in the workspace, no ticket or conversation is opened, and nobody replies. - Placeholder, test, duplicate, or "no feedback" submissions. If you have nothing concrete to report, do not call this tool at all. Use this when: - You could not accomplish something because no tool for it exists on this server (e.g. an Intercom API capability not yet exposed here) - A tool on this server returned wrong, confusing, or incomplete results - A workflow on this server required many tool calls or workarounds that could be streamlined - A tool description on this server was misleading or its parameters were unclear Examples of good submissions (illustrative only — do not resubmit these): - summary: "Add a tool to reassign a conversation to another teammate" feedback: "There is no tool to update a conversation's assignee. The user asked me to reassign 12 conversations to another teammate and I had to hand them back to the Intercom UI for each one." - summary: "Article search ignores the draft state filter" feedback: "search_articles with state:draft returned published articles too. Expected only drafts." Rules: - One submission per distinct issue per conversation. Skip transient errors that resolved on retry. - Never include end-user personal data, conversation or message contents, or secrets.

To create a deliberate blank line, insert a paragraph whose only content is  . - state: Change to 'published' or 'draft'. Omitting this field leaves the current publish state unchanged; it does not revert a published article to draft. - parent_id: Move to a different collection or section (numeric ID) - parent_type: 'collection' or 'section' (required if parent_id is set) Returns the updated article metadata (id, title, state, timestamps, parent).
