What is the Hook MCP?
Hook's MCP (Model Context Protocol) takes the same intelligence layer that already powers Hook, customer health, risk and upsell signals, metrics, notes, and next best actions, and makes it queryable from anywhere.
The three main use cases for Hook's MCP are:
Turn Hook data into customer-ready documents: Go from account signals to a finished QBR, success plan, or escalation brief without reformatting anything by hand.
Connect Hook to tools it doesn't natively support: Push Hook data into Notion, Linear, or other tools your team depends on.
Bring Hook context to where your team already works: Surface account information inside the tools people use daily, without asking them to open Hook. Anyone in your organisation can access the data from Hook's MCP.

Turn Hook data into customer-ready documents
Problem
Hook tells you what's happening with an account. But CSMs still spend time turning that into something a customer can actually read: copying data into slides, writing up success plans, building escalation summaries by hand. The MCP closes that gap: pull Hook data into Claude and generate the finished document in one go.
Examples
QBR and EBR decks: Pull account health, usage trends, Echo sentiment signals, and goals from Hook. Ask your organisation's AI tool to generate a structured QBR presentation.
Success plans and account plans: Generate structured success plans grounded in real Hook data, not assembled from memory.
Escalation and recovery plans: Pull risk signals and engagement data from Hook and generate a formatted escalation plan or executive-facing recovery summary.
Segment and portfolio reports: Pull signals across a group of accounts and produce a formatted report for leadership or board updates.
Why this matters
CSMs spend less time reformatting data and more time in front of customers.
Documents are grounded in real account metrics - not recalled from memory or pulled together across multiple tabs.
Leaders can access reporting without chasing CSMs for updates.
Connect Hook to tools it doesn't natively support
Problem
Hook already integrates with Slack and handles email natively. But your team may track work in Notion, manage tasks in Linear, or depend on other tools outside Hook's integration list. The MCP bridges Hook data into those systems - or pulls context from them into your AI tool alongside Hook data.
Examples
Knowledge base tools: Push account summaries, success plans, or risk flags into knowledge bases directly from Hook data.
Project management tools: Create or update tickets based on Hook signals - for example, flagging a high-risk account as an internal task for the CS team.
Why this matters
Hook insight reaches the systems where teams actually take action.
You don't need to wait for a native Hook integration before connecting to a tool your team depends on.
Cuts out manual copying between systems - which is where context gets lost.
Bring Hook context to where your team already works
Problem
If account context only lives inside Hook's interface, it only reaches the people who already have the habit of opening Hook regularly. Through the MCP, anyone can pull Hook context without leaving the tool they're already in.
Examples
Your AI tool in Slack: A CSM asks your AI tool about an account before a call. The tool pulls the Hook context via the MCP and responds in the thread - no tab switching required.
Leadership queries without opening Hook: A VP asks your AI tool for a health summary of the enterprise segment. The MCP fetches the data from Hook and returns a structured answer, directly in whatever tool they're working in.
Why this matters
Hook's insight reaches people who wouldn't otherwise see it - not because the data isn't there, but because they don't log in regularly or don't have a Hook account.
CSMs get faster answers without switching context mid-workflow.
Executives can interrogate account data on demand, in the tools they use.
How the MCP relates to Hook Chat
Hook Chat is the right place for querying your book of business, analysing signals, and getting quick answers about accounts. The MCP isn't a replacement - it's for specific situations where you need a finished customer-facing document, a connection to a tool outside Hook's native integrations, or Hook insight surfaced somewhere outside the Hook app.

❓ Frequently asked questions
How can I get access to the Hook MCP?
Speak to your Account Manager about gaining access.
We could just build this with a general AI tool. Why use the MCP specifically?
General AI tools don't have access to your Hook data. Without the MCP, you'd be copying and pasting account information manually into Claude or another tool - reintroducing the manual work you're trying to remove, and leaving the AI to work from whatever you remember to include rather than the full account picture. The MCP gives your AI tool direct, structured access to Hook's data so the output is grounded in your real signals.
Does this replace Hook Chat?
Hook Chat is still the right place for querying your book of business, analysing signals, and getting quick answers about accounts. The MCP earns its place when you need a finished document to share externally, a connection to a tool outside Hook's native integrations, or Hook insight surfaced somewhere outside the Hook app.
