# 17hats MCP server: Let your AI agent do the 17hats admin.

> 17hats has no MCP server, no ChatGPT or Claude app and no public API. Its only key is for Zapier on the new subscription plan, and it "is limited to importing, updating and syncing Contacts" (17hats help, checked 9 Nov 2026). Cotlet runs 9 17hats tools hosted, over MCP for agents and REST for scripts, in your own 17hats login.

Your AI agent logs enquiries as leads, sends quotes, contracts and invoices, records payments and plans your day. Sign in to 17hats once in your own Cloud Browser. No API, no new plan.

- Free 7-day trial, no card

## How does the 17hats MCP server work?

1. **Sign in to 17hats.** Once, in a browser we host for you.
2. **Connect your AI agent.** One address in its settings.
3. **Hand it the busywork.** It drafts the work, you OK what customers get.

We never keep your 17hats password, and no quote, contract, invoice or payment goes through until you approve it.

## How to connect 17hats to your AI agent

1. **Sign in to 17hats in a Cloud Browser.** Create a Cotlet account, open 17hats in its Cloud Browser, sign in with your 17hats login and press Enable for agents.
2. **Add the Cotlet address.** Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.
3. **Let the agent in.** Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console.

17hats shares the address `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` with every other app you enable, so one connector covers them all. Turned 17hats on after connecting? Refresh the connector and the 9 tools appear.

Claude:

```
Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
URL: https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/connect

Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
  https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
```

ChatGPT:

```
Settings > Apps & Connectors > Create
MCP server URL: https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/connect
Authentication: OAuth
```

Cursor:

```
// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cotlet": {
      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:COTLET_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}
```

Codex:

```
# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.cotlet]
url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"
```

n8n:

```
MCP Client Tool (inside an AI Agent)
Transport: HTTP Streamable
URL: https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1
Auth: Bearer, <your key>
Tool: 17hats_read
```

Make, Zapier:

```

Zapier: MCP Client by Zapier > Run Tool
Server URL: https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1
Token: <your key>
Tool: 17hats_write
```

## All 9 17hats MCP tools

### Contacts and projects

New contacts and projects reach no one by themselves, so they run at once. A workflow step that emails the client follows your workflow settings.

- **List contacts** (`list_contacts`, read): Contacts by type (hot lead, client, cold prospect), searchable by name or email.
- **Add contact** (`add_contact`, write): Adds a contact, for example a new lead.
- **List projects** (`list_projects`, read): Projects with status, date, amount due and open to-dos.
- **Create project** (`create_project`, write): Creates a project for a contact, with a workflow if you use one.
- **List to-dos** (`list_todos`, read): Your to-dos due today or overdue, by project.

### Documents and payments

Quotes, contracts, invoices and recorded payments wait for your OK.

- **Send quote** (`send_quote`, write, asks first): Creates and sends a quote on a project.
- **Send contract** (`send_contract`, write, asks first): Sends a contract from your templates for signing.
- **Send invoice** (`send_invoice`, write, asks first): Creates and sends an invoice on a project.
- **Record payment** (`record_payment`, write, asks first): Records a payment made outside 17hats.

## Who can see my 17hats session, and how do I revoke it?

- **What we store.** Your signed-in 17hats profile, AES-256-GCM encrypted, in Finland. No password.
- **What your agent gets.** The 9 17hats tools, never the session cookie.
- **What the session sees.** What your login sees: contacts, projects, documents, to-dos.
- **What no tool touches.** Bookkeeping, bank connections, texting, refunds, deletes.
- **If 17hats signs you out.** You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.
- **How to cut access.** Disable for agents, reset the browser, or change your 17hats password.

Cotlet never types your password: you sign in yourself, and the agent only uses the session. Our site scores A+ on Qualys SSL Labs, securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory ([live results](https://cotlet.dev/security.md)).

## What happens when 17hats changes?

- **12 h** between tests of the 17hats reads
- **24 h** between tests of sends a customer would notice
- **$0** for a call to a 17hats tool paused for repair

When 17hats moves a button on a project or renames a document screen, we fix the tool and your agent calls it the same way. [status.cotlet.dev](https://status.cotlet.dev) checks the site, console and API every 3 minutes.

## Approvals, undo and mistakes

1. **Finds the project.** By client and date.
2. **Builds the quote.** From your items.
3. **Fills the contract.** From your template.
4. **Waits, then sends.** Both show up in your Cotlet console first.

| Action | Undo |
|---|---|
| Add a contact or project | Yes, edit or archive it in 17hats |
| Send a quote, contract or invoice | No, it is in the client's inbox; void it in 17hats |
| Record a payment | Yes, delete the payment in 17hats |

4 of 9 tools ask first: send_quote, send_contract, send_invoice, record_payment. New contacts and projects reach no customer, so they run at once. You can turn the wait off per tool once you trust a routine.

MCP call:

```
{
  "name": "add_contact",
  "arguments": {
    "name": "Tyler Brennan",
    "email": "tyler@example.com",
    "type": "Hot Lead",
    "note": "Headshots, early December"
  }
}
```

REST:

```
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/17hats/contacts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Tyler Brennan","email":"tyler@example.com","type":"Hot Lead","note":"Headshots, early December"}'
```

Response:

```
{
  "contact_id": "CT-77188",
  "name": "Tyler Brennan",
  "type": "Hot Lead"
}
```

A cron job or n8n flow can call the same tools over REST at `/api/v1/17hats` with the same key and price, in JSON. Failed calls are free. Each tool row above shows its REST path.

## How much does the 17hats MCP server cost?

**About $18 a month** for a solo portrait and wedding photographer, 3,100 credits. Your 17hats plan stays as it is.

| Job | Calls | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry logged as a lead | 2 × 25 | 500 |
| Quote and contract sent | 3 × 10 | 300 |
| Invoice sent | 2 × 12 | 240 |
| Day planned | 2 × 22 | 440 |
| Payment recorded | 2 × 6 | 120 |
| Cloud Browser, 30 days |  | 1,500 |
| Total |  | 3,100 |

- Free 7-day trial, no card
- 10 credits per successful call, MCP or REST
- 50 credits a day for the Cloud Browser
- Works on any 17hats plan

17hats publishes no usage counts, so the month is our example. Dollars at the $29 pack rate.

## 17hats MCP server on GitHub, Zapier or hosted: which to use

| Option | What it does | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Zapier app | Contacts between 17hats and your other tools. | New plan only; no projects, quotes or invoices. |
| 17hats workflows | Automatic emails and to-dos per project. | Fixed steps you set up; nothing on request. |
| By hand | Every screen of 17hats, one client at a time. | Your editing time. |

If you only need contacts synced to your email list, the Zapier app does that on the new plan. To log leads, quote and invoice from ChatGPT or Claude this week, Cotlet works in the 17hats account you already have.

## 17hats MCP server: questions

### How do I get access?

Sign up free at https://cotlet.dev, open 17hats under Integrations in the console and sign in to 17hats in its Cloud Browser. The trial starts with your first app and asks for no card.

### How do I connect 17hats to ChatGPT or Claude?

Sign up at cotlet.dev, log in to 17hats once in its Cloud Browser and add Cotlet to ChatGPT or Claude, following the steps in your console. No API key is needed. ChatGPT and Claude then work in your 17hats account through Cotlet, in their phone apps too.

### What can ChatGPT do in 17hats?

With Cotlet, ChatGPT, Claude and other AI agents handle jobs like these in 17hats: log enquiries as leads; quote and book; plan the day. You ask in plain words, and anything that reaches other people waits for your OK first.

### Is there an official ChatGPT or Claude app for 17hats?

No. 17hats has no ChatGPT or Claude connector of its own and 17hats has no official MCP server (checked 9 Nov 2026). Cotlet is an independent one that works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client, on your signed-in account.

### Can ChatGPT add leads in 17hats?

Yes, with Cotlet. ChatGPT adds enquiries as hot leads and starts the project with your workflow, so nothing gets lost in your inbox.

### Can ChatGPT send invoices in 17hats?

Yes, with Cotlet. ChatGPT creates the invoice on the project and sends it with the payment link after your OK. Your automatic reminders then run as usual.

### Can ChatGPT send quotes and contracts in 17hats?

Yes, with Cotlet. ChatGPT builds the quote from your items and fills your contract template, and both wait for your OK before they go out.

### Do I need the new 17hats plan to use Cotlet?

No. Cotlet works through your own 17hats login on any plan. The Zapier key is limited to the new subscription plan and to contacts.

### Is the MCP server different from the REST API?

Only in how it is called. Both carry the same 9 tools, inputs, answers, API key and price. Agents use MCP; scripts and HTTP steps use REST.

### Is Cotlet affiliated with 17hats?

No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with 17hats.
