## ⬇️ Install in Claude Desktop (one click, no terminal)
If you use the **Claude Desktop** app, this is the easy path. No Node, no JSON, no command line.
<p>
<a href="https://github.com/scandolo/gong-mcp/releases/latest/download/gong-mcp.mcpb">
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/⬇%20Download%20the%20Gong%20MCP%20extension-.mcpb-7c5cff?style=for-the-badge" alt="Download the Gong MCP extension">
</a>
</p>
1. **[Download `gong-mcp.mcpb`](https://github.com/scandolo/gong-mcp/releases/latest/download/gong-mcp.mcpb)** (one file).
2. **Double-click it** (or in Claude Desktop go to **Settings → Extensions → Install extension…** and pick the file).
3. When prompted, paste your **Gong base URL**, **Access Key**, and **Access Secret** (see [how to get them](#getting-your-gong-credentials)), then click **Install**.
That is it. Ask Claude *"list my Gong workspaces"* to confirm it is connected.

## Gong MCP vs the official Gong MCP
Gong ships an official hosted MCP server at `mcp.gong.io`. It is a different tool for a different job: three AI tools that return generated answers and briefs. This repo exposes the raw Gong REST API instead, so you get the underlying data and can build your own analysis on top.
| | Official Gong MCP (`mcp.gong.io`) | This repo (`gong-mcp`) |
|---|---|---|
| Tools | 3 (`ask_account`, `ask_deal`, `generate_brief`) | 20 (raw REST API surface) |
| Returns | AI-generated answers and briefs | raw data: transcripts, calls, users, activity, scorecards, coaching, CRM |
| Raw transcripts / call lists | not returned | yes |
| Grain | account and deal | call, user, workspace, CRM |
| Hosting | Gong-hosted remote connector | self-hosted, runs locally |
| Auth and setup | admin creates an MCP integration, MCP scope, Client ID/Secret | your own Gong API key and secret |
| Cost | consumes Gong credits | free (your normal API quota) |
| Claude plan | Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise (custom remote connectors) | any (local stdio server) |
Rule of thumb: use the official server for quick AI briefs with zero infrastructure; use this one when you need raw transcripts, call and activity data, or want to build your own analysis over the full API.

## Getting your Gong credentials
1. In Gong, go to **Company Settings → API**.
2. Click **Get API Key** (Technical Administrator role required).
3. Copy the **Access Key** and **Access Key Secret**.
4. Note your **workspace host** (region-specific), which looks like `https://us-XXXXX.api.gong.io`. It is shown alongside your API key in Gong. If left blank, the server falls back to `https://api.gong.io`.
> Credentials are read from environment variables (`GONG_ACCESS_KEY`, `GONG_ACCESS_SECRET`, `GONG_BASE_URL`) or the Claude Desktop install dialog. Nothing is hardcoded and nothing is committed to this repo.

## Install in Claude Code
For the CLI / terminal agent (and Cursor, or any MCP client).
```bash
git clone https://github.com/scandolo/gong-mcp.git
cd gong-mcp
npm install
# register the server with Claude Code (user scope)
claude mcp add gong node "$(pwd)/server/index.js" \
--scope user \
--env GONG_BASE_URL=https://us-XXXXX.api.gong.io \
--env GONG_ACCESS_KEY=your-access-key \
--env GONG_ACCESS_SECRET=your-access-secret
```
Or add it directly to `~/.claude.json` under `mcpServers`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gong": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/gong-mcp/server/index.js"],
"env": {
"GONG_BASE_URL": "https://us-XXXXX.api.gong.io",
"GONG_ACCESS_KEY": "your-access-key",
"GONG_ACCESS_SECRET": "your-access-secret"
}
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Code and ask it to run `list_workspaces` to confirm auth.
**Copy-paste prompt (Claude Code):** paste this into a Claude Code session, filling in your three values.
```text
Set up the Gong MCP server (https://github.com/scandolo/gong-mcp) in this Claude Code
environment for me. Do the following:
1. Clone https://github.com/scandolo/gong-mcp into ~/code/gong-mcp (or tell me if it
already exists), then run `npm install` in it.
2. Register it with Claude Code at user scope using `claude mcp add`, with these env vars:
GONG_BASE_URL=<PASTE YOUR HOST, e.g. https://us-XXXXX.api.gong.io>
GONG_ACCESS_KEY=<PASTE YOUR GONG ACCESS KEY>
GONG_ACCESS_SECRET=<PASTE YOUR GONG ACCESS SECRET>
3. Verify the server is registered with `claude mcp list`.
4. Tell me to restart Claude Code, then confirm it works by calling the `list_workspaces` tool.
Never print my access key or secret back to me or write them into any tracked/committed file.
```
### Build the Claude Desktop bundle yourself
The prebuilt `.mcpb` is attached to every [release](https://github.com/scandolo/gong-mcp/releases/latest). To build it from source:
```bash
npm install
npx @anthropic-ai/mcpb pack # produces gong-mcp.mcpb
```
---
## Configuration
| Env var | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `GONG_ACCESS_KEY` | yes | — | Gong API Access Key. |
| `GONG_ACCESS_SECRET` | yes | — | Gong API Access Key Secret. |
| `GONG_BASE_URL` | no | `https://api.gong.io` | Your workspace-specific host, e.g. `https://us-XXXXX.api.gong.io`. |
Authentication uses HTTP Basic auth (`AccessKey:Secret`, base64-encoded) exactly as the Gong REST API expects. The client retries on transient errors and rate limits with exponential backoff.
## Requirements
- Node.js >= 18 (bundled with Claude Desktop; install separately for Claude Code)
- A Gong seat with API access (Technical Administrator to mint keys)
## Contributing
Issues and PRs welcome, especially additional Gong endpoints as the API grows. See the issue templates when opening a report.
