Integration

ManyChat integration

ManyChat automates conversations on Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and email. With the Page API an agent can find and read subscribers (contacts), create and update them, tag them, set their custom fields, send them dynamic messages or start an automation (flow), and manage the account's tags, custom fields, bot fields, flows and growth tools. The deprecated widgets route and the profile-level template sharing API are not exposed. Authentication is the account's API key (ManyChat Settings, API) sent as a Bearer token.

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in ManyChat.Built from the 33 ManyChat tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with ManyChat

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use ManyChat from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect ManyChat in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its ManyChat operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
