Integration

Zoho Cliq integration

Zoho Cliq is Zoho's team chat. Post messages to channels, chats, users and bots, start and manage threads, schedule, edit, pin, react to and read messages, and manage channels and their members, reminders, calendar events and RSVPs, call history, custom statuses, users, user fields, departments, designations and Cliq database records. Most tools take ids from list tools (list_channels, list_chats, list_users); channel posting uses the channel's unique name. File sharing and download, event attachments, team management, roles and permissions, custom domain and email settings, organization chat export, remote check-in and widget tickers are not exposed. Authentication is Zoho OAuth 2.0 with ZohoCliq scopes; the base URL is the US data center (cliq.zoho.com). Each route has its own per-user rate limit, exceeding it locks the route for 5 to 30 minutes.

Connect Zoho Cliq How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Zoho Cliq.Built from the 109 Zoho Cliq tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Zoho Cliq

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 Zoho Cliq from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Zoho Cliq in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Zoho Cliq 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
