Run the partner console from an AI assistant

Connect an AI assistant to LobbyStack’s MCP server as your partner, and it does the console’s work for you in chat. Ask it to “make a demo for joesplumbing.com, then set up Joe’s business from the HVAC template on the Pro package”, and it calls the same operations the console does, with the same rules. A partner connection reaches every business you run, so each tool that works inside one business asks for its ID. It reaches none of another partner’s businesses.

Connect

Use the same server URL as a business connection:

Setting	Value
Server URL	`https://app.lobbystack.com/api/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Authentication	Sign in with LobbyStack (OAuth), or `Authorization: Bearer <platform key>`

Self-hosted deployments serve the same path on their own domain. Use this for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. The steps to add the server are the same as for Claude, ChatGPT and other clients.

Add the server

Add https://app.lobbystack.com/api/mcp to your assistant. It opens a LobbyStack page in your browser.

Pick your partner

Sign in with the account you use for the partner console. Under Connect to, pick your partner from Your agencies. Partners show only for people on their team.

Choose what the assistant can do

Every permission the assistant asked for starts checked. Uncheck the ones you don’t want, then click Allow access. Only owners see the billing permissions.

The connection belongs to you and your partner. It acts with your role on the team at the time of each request, so a change to your role applies to the assistant’s next request.

Use a platform key

Use this for scripts, CI, and clients that let you set request headers but can’t sign in with OAuth. Make a key on the console’s API keys page, as Automate setup with platform keys describes, and send it as Authorization: Bearer lsp_.... A key acts as your partner with an admin’s rights, and its access decides which tools it gets. The host’s own platform keys can’t use the MCP server, and the MCP server can’t make or revoke platform keys.

What the assistant can do

The assistant gets the tools its permissions allow, and your role decides the rest, as in the console:

Who	What the tools let them do
Member	Read the partner and its businesses, work inside businesses, and make, publish and turn off demos
Admin	Everything a member does, plus create, release and delete businesses, and manage packages, templates, brand, domain and the team
Owner	Everything an admin does, plus Stripe, the tier and the pool’s overage
Platform key	What an admin does. It reaches Stripe and billing only with the billing access an owner gave it, while that owner is still an owner.

A tool your role doesn’t allow returns forbidden. A key can’t invite an owner or change an owner’s role, and neither can the assistant: do those in the console.

Work inside a business

The per-business tools, such as get_business, list_calls and book_appointment, take a business_id on a partner connection. Ask the assistant to call list_businesses first, or give it the business by name. A business of another partner, or an ID that doesn’t exist, returns not_found. When you sign in with OAuth, the assistant opens the business the way the console does, and the business’s audit log records it with your name and role. Its owners and admins see the visit in Settings > Partner access. Your access lasts 8 hours, and the assistant opens the business again when it needs to. You get full access whatever the business’s access level, but billing, API keys and MCP stay closed to your team, as Create and run your clients’ businesses describes. A platform key reaches a business without an open, as it does through the API.

Disconnect

Your partner’s connections show on the console’s API keys page, under MCP connections, with who connected each one and when it last made a request. Owners and admins see every one. Everyone else sees their own. Click Disconnect, then Disconnect again to confirm. The assistant loses access at once. Removing someone from your team ends their connections too, and a person who leaves can’t reconnect to your partner. To stop a platform key, revoke it on the same page.

Example

Make a demo for joesplumbing.com, then set up Joe’s business from the HVAC template on the Pro package. Send the invitation to joe@joesplumbing.com.

The assistant calls create_demo, waits with get_demo until the demo is ready, and publishes it with publish_demo. It then finds the template with list_templates and the package with list_packages, and calls create_business with both. It asks you before it creates the business, since that emails Joe.

Tools

On top of the per-business tools, a partner connection gets these. Tools marked destructive delete, release, revoke or remove something. They carry the destructiveHint annotation, so your assistant asks you before it runs them.

Your partner and its businesses

Tool	Scope	What it does
`get_partner`	`partner:read`	Your partner’s name, addresses and tier, and this month’s pool with billing access
`list_businesses`	`partner:read`	Your businesses with their owners, access levels and usage, and their billing for owners and admins
`create_business`	`businesses:create`	Creates a business and invites its owner. A platform key can leave `owner_email` out. `template_id` also needs `partner:read`, and `package_id` needs `partner.businesses:write`.

`set_business_billing`	`partner.businesses:write`	Sets a business’s package and overage

Phone numbers

Only a platform key gets these tools. Claiming and replacing cost money and need a paid tier, so confirm the number first. Searching, claiming and replacing also need phone_numbers:manage. Someone connected with their own account buys numbers in the business’s dashboard.

`search_phone_numbers`	`phone_numbers:purchase`	Finds numbers a business can claim

`add_domain`	`partner.branding:write`	Connects your own domain
`remove_domain`	`partner.branding:write`	Removes your own domain. Destructive.

Payments and billing

Only owners reach these, and a platform key only with billing access. partner.billing:write includes partner.billing:read.

Tool	Scope	What it does
`get_stripe_status`	`partner.billing:read`	Whether your Stripe account is connected and takes payments
`create_stripe_onboarding_link`	`partner.billing:write`	A Stripe page to connect or finish your account
`get_billing`	`partner.billing:read`	Your tier, numbers, pool and the pool’s overage
`set_pool_overage`	`partner.billing:write`	Turns the pool’s overage on or off and sets its cap
`create_tier_checkout`	`partner.billing:write`	Starts a checkout for a tier
`get_tier_checkout`	`partner.billing:read`	A tier checkout’s status and, once ready, its page

The assistant shows you links such as a Stripe onboarding page, a tier checkout or a demo page. Open them yourself in your browser.

Limits

Each tool call counts against 120 requests a minute. A platform key shares its limit with its API requests, and each OAuth connection has its own. New businesses, demos, templates and team invitations also count against the hourly limits the console and the API use: per person for an OAuth connection, and shared by your keys for a platform key.
