forge
A CLI and MCP server suite for Intercom workspace management and automation:
migrations, workspace configuration, routing, Fin AI content, and workflow
authoring. Ships two MCP servers — forge-workspace (workspace config:
articles, teams, tickets, macros, attributes, …) and forge-fin (Fin AI
agent, Voice, knowledge sources, workflows) — plus the forge CLI for
machine setup.
Requirements
- Python 3.11+
- Google Chrome — UI-automation tools drive your own Chrome over the DevTools Protocol. No bundled browser is downloaded, ever.
- An Intercom access token per workspace you manage (Developer Hub → your app → Authentication).
- A forge license key.
Install
uv tool install sabel-forge-mcp # recommended
# or: pipx install sabel-forge-mcp
# or: pip install sabel-forge-mcp
Everything is included — REST tools and UI-automation tools work out of
the box. There are no extras to opt into and no playwright install
browser download (Playwright ships as a plain dependency and is only used
as the connection library to your own Chrome).
Verify:
forge --version # → forge (sabel-forge-mcp) x.y.z
Then activate your license:
forge auth login
Upgrading from ≤ 0.1.63?
forge install ui-depsand the[ui-automation]extra are gone — a plain install/upgrade now carries everything:uv tool upgrade sabel-forge-mcp.
Configure a workspace
Each Intercom workspace is a folder under ~/.forge/workspaces/ holding a
forge.json. The file names the environment variable that holds the
workspace's token — never the token itself (inline tokens are rejected):
// ~/.forge/workspaces/Client_Acme/forge.json
{
"name": "Client_Acme",
"industry": "fintech", // optional; matches a playbook name
"region": "eu", // us | eu | au — the Intercom datacenter
"intercom_token_env": "CLIENT_ACME_TOKEN"
}
Put the token in ~/.secrets (chmod 600, sourced from your shell rc):
export CLIENT_ACME_TOKEN="tok:..."
region matters: REST reads work from anywhere, but REST writes
and all admin-UI automation are datacenter-specific. If omitted, forge
auto-detects it on first use and writes it back into forge.json.
You can also let your agent do all of this — the add_workspace MCP tool
walks through the same steps and validates the token and region.
Wire up the MCP servers
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add forge-workspace -- forge-workspace
claude mcp add forge-fin -- forge-fin
Launch your agent once at any directory; every tool takes a workspace
argument, so one server process serves all configured workspaces. After
adding a new token to ~/.secrets, restart the agent so the servers
inherit the new environment.
UI automation and the Chrome host
Tools ending in _via_ui drive the Intercom admin UI (for resources with
no write REST API). They run exclusively as tabs in one long-lived
Google Chrome bound to a local DevTools port:
-
The first
*_via_uirun auto-starts the host — a Chrome window opens, you log into Intercom once, and the login persists on disk. -
Manage it explicitly if you prefer:
forge ui serve --workspace <name> # start manually; log in once forge ui status # endpoint, workspace, region forge ui stop # shut it down
-
The browser survives tool failures — a failed run leaves the page open for inspection, and re-running a tool resumes idempotently.
-
One browser can hold logins for several Intercom datacenters; a tool targeting a different region opens a fresh login tab and tells you.
Upgrading
uv tool upgrade sabel-forge-mcp # or: pipx upgrade sabel-forge-mcp
The MCP servers check PyPI in the background and mention when a newer release is available.
