How to connect Keap MCP to Claude Desktop
Add this block to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Cursor and Codex use a similar schema.

Does Keap MCP cost extra?
The Keap MCP server is community-built — free to run, but you still pay for your Keap subscription.
- Community MCPs are normally self-hosted from a GitHub repo. There's no extra license fee.
- Your Keap account still needs whatever plan is required to access the data the MCP server queries.
- Trade-off: zero MCP cost, but no guarantee it'll keep working when Keap changes their UI or API.
Keap subscription pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual / mo |
|---|---|---|
| Keap (base: 1,500 contacts, 2 users) | $299 | $249 |

Keap also publishes a REST API

What you can do with Keap from an AI agent
Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.
Skip the dashboard, ask Claude
- "What changed this week?" answered in seconds
- Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
- Pipe Keap data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script
Run client analysis at agent speed
- Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's Keap account
- Multi-account workflows without context-switching the Keap UI
- Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup
Production agent workflows
- Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage Keap data daily
- Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
- Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production Keap safe
Limits and gotchas
- Community MCP — not maintained by Keap. Check the README and last-update date before depending on it.
- Fallback: the REST API works for any flow the MCP server doesn't cover.
- Rate limits: MCP calls count against your underlying Keap API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.
Agent-readiness verdict
Not ready for agent workflows. While Keap has a community MCP server, it lacks official MCP support, documented public APIs, SDKs, and structured outputs that agents need for reliable integration. The missing API documentation and authentication specs make it difficult for Claude or Cursor to interact programmatically.
