Chatbase

Community MCP Paid, self-serve Inbound & PLG Chat RESEARCHED Checked 2026-09-02 CLI: chatbase
RESEARCHED Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1.

Vendor: chatbase.co · entry id 14-chatbase · source 14-inbound-plg-chat.md line 84

What it does
No-code AI agent builder for deploying chat/voice/email support-and-sales bots across a website widget and channels like WhatsApp and Slack.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
Lets a builder pick from multiple underlying LLMs (Claude, Gemini, GPT, DeepSeek referenced on the site) and wire up "Actions" (order lookups, invoice retrieval, payment processing) plus a testing sandbox before going live - genuine AI-agent orchestration tooling, though conversation quality depends entirely on the connected model rather than a proprietary Chatbase model.
RevOps role
Solo-operator-friendly, self-serve chatbot-builder entry point into inbound AI chat - cheaper and more accessible than most enterprise tools in this category, at the cost of no proprietary conversation-intelligence layer.

A working server exists but somebody other than the vendor built it. It can be abandoned without the vendor noticing. The status was established by hand on 2026-09-02. On 2026-09-04 the recorded URL served a documentation page, not an MCP endpoint. That is where to read about the server, not where to connect to it. An agent needs the second.

Catalogue shape
a fixed catalogue the vendor publishes

A tool below is one the server NAMES. Nobody has called it. That is the same two tier honesty rule the rest of the directory runs on: a named tool is research, and BENCH-TESTED stays the only claim that anybody ran anything.

  • Send Prompt
    Send a prompt to your chatbot.
    evidence: in the vendor docs · calling it writes · required: message, Chatbot ID · read off zapier, an aggregator wrapping the vendor's API rather than the vendor's own server

141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. Every name across every server is on the tools index.

Access gate
Gate bucket
Paid, self-serve
Can a solo operator reach it
Yes, by paying, no sales call

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

paid (limited free tier). Free plan: $0/mo, 50 message credits, inactive agents deleted after 14 days, no API access. API access starts at the Standard tier ($150/mo); Hobby ($40/mo) does not include it.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

On GitHub

No GitHub organisation could be tied to chatbase.co with evidence on 2026-09-08.

Recorded by the harvest: github candidates were seen but none passed the evidence rules.

5 candidate accounts seen and rejected by the evidence rules: Chatbase-co, ChatBaseSDK, chatbasedapk, ChatBase-official, ChatbaseLabs. A name match alone is never accepted; the account has to point at the vendor domain.

Jobs it can do

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total.

Notes, verbatim from the file
Checked mcp.so, glama.ai, and PulseMCP directly for a Chatbase MCP server - PulseMCP returned zero results ("Showing 0-0 of 0 servers"). Domain is chatbase.co (not .com); no redirect was observed. 2026-09-02: mcp_status none-found -> community. https://zapier.com/mcp/chatbase answers today with one trigger (Form Submission) and one write action (Send Prompt to a chatbot); viaSocket, Activepieces and Pipedream list equivalents. Chatbase itself publishes no MCP: chatbase.co has no llms.txt, the official MCP registry has no entry, and a third-party comparison states no public Chatbase MCP server had been announced as of May 2026. Third-party hosted connectors only, so community, unofficial.
