# Help center

The business's public help center, designed and written by the agent. It writes articles in Markdown, groups them into collections, changes the design on a draft before publishing it, and sees what visitors searched for and could not find.

Replaces: Zendesk Guide, Intercom Articles, Document360.

## MCP server

`https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/helpcenter` connects the Help center tools only, plus the account tools that come with every MCP server. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP; send the key as `Authorization: Bearer <conecto_sk_ key>`. Every tool here is also a REST call: `POST https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/<name>` with the arguments as a JSON object.

## ChatGPT and Claude

Add `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/mcp` as a connector in ChatGPT or Claude, one for every area, and tick Help center when you sign in. It signs in with OAuth: someone on the account signs in on conecto.chat, ticks the areas it may use and allows it, and it runs on a key of its own that the owner can revoke.

## OpenAPI

For a custom GPT's Actions: `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/openapi/helpcenter.json` (OpenAPI 3.0, the key as a Bearer token). For Power Automate, Logic Apps and Copilot Studio connectors: `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/openapi/helpcenter.swagger.json` (OpenAPI 2.0, the key in the X-Api-Key header). Both list this area's tools and the account tools.

Prices: Reading, previewing and the design guide free · keeping it public $5.00 a month · articles, collections, images and publishing $0.01 · design and housekeeping $0.001. A call that fails costs nothing.
