API and MCP
Opero for developers
Connect Opero to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and your own software. The MCP server and the REST API work with one company's data: leads, counterparties, deals, tasks, notes, invoices, AI staff and the Today summary.
Updated October 20, 2026

Quick start
Keys, connected apps and webhooks are managed by the company owner or an admin in Opero: Settings, API & AI integrations.
- MCP server
- https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/mcp
- REST API
- https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/v1
- Sign-in
- OAuth 2.1 or an API key in the Authorization header
- Format
- JSON in UTF-8, ISO 8601 dates (UTC)
Create a read-only key and check it:
curl https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/v1/me \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERO_API_KEY"The response shows the company, the key's access and the person who created it.
MCP server
Address https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/mcp. Streamable HTTP transport, one JSON response per request. Supported protocol versions: 2026-07-28 (no handshake, the version in every request, server/discover available) and 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26 (through initialize). No sessions are used.
Sign-in: OAuth 2.1 (Claude, ChatGPT and other clients run it themselves) or an API key in the Authorization: Bearer opk_... header for Cursor, Claude Code and your own agents. Without sign-in the server answers 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header that points to the resource metadata.
Connecting
- Claude: claude.ai, the Customize menu, Connectors, Add custom connector. Paste the server address, click Add, then Connect and allow access in Opero.
- ChatGPT: chatgpt.com/plugins, the + button, Add custom MCP server. Paste the server address, keep OAuth sign-in and click Create as a plugin.
- Cursor: Cursor Settings, Tools & MCP, or
~/.cursor/mcp.jsonwith an API key from an environment variable:
{
"mcpServers": {
"opero": {
"url": "https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:OPERO_API_KEY}" }

| list_members | company members (ids for tasks) | read |
| ask_opero | a question or instruction for Ask Opero | read |
| get_ask_result | the answer if it was not ready right away | read |
ask_opero sends the question to Ask Opero on behalf of the person who granted access: the question and the answer appear in their chat. From external apps Opero only prepares drafts (emails and invoices wait for approval in Opero), never hires, spends money or messages clients. If the answer was not ready in time, call get_ask_result with request_id.
Authorization
API keys
- The owner or an admin creates a key: Settings, API & AI integrations, Create key. The key is shown once, Opero stores only its hash.
- A key belongs to one company. Access:
read,write(read and write) orchannels(external chat only: support conversations, no company data, see External chat). - Send the key only in a header:
Authorization: Bearer opk_...orX-Api-Key: opk_.... Keys in the URL are not accepted. - Revoking takes effect immediately. On every call Opero checks that the person who created the key is still in the company: if they were removed, the key stops working.
OAuth 2.1
For apps that connect users themselves: Claude, ChatGPT, your services. Issuer https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/oauth.
| Address | Purpose |
|---|---|
| /api/oauth/protected-resource | MCP resource metadata (RFC 9728) |
| /api/oauth/.well-known/openid-configuration | authorization server metadata |
| /api/oauth/register | client registration (RFC 7591) |
| /api/oauth/authorize | sign-in and user consent |
| /api/oauth/token | code exchange and token refresh |
| /api/oauth/revoke | token revocation (RFC 7009) |
- Authorization code with PKCE,
S256only. - Clients register themselves (
none,client_secret_postorclient_secret_basic) or use a client ID metadata document:client_idis the document's https address. - The
resourceparameter (RFC 8707):https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/mcp(default) orhttps://my.operobusiness.ru/api/v1. A token works only for its resource. - Scopes:
readandwrite. On the consent page the person picks a company where they are the owner or an admin and can keep read-only access. - The authorization response includes
iss(RFC 9207). - Access tokens live 1 hour, refresh tokens 60 days and rotate on every refresh. Reusing an old refresh token revokes the whole connection.
- Redirect URIs: https,
http://localhostandhttp://127.0.0.1with any port, app schemes.
Connected apps are listed in API & AI integrations, where they are disconnected with one click.
REST API
Base address https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/v1. The company comes from the key, so it is not part of the paths.
A successful response is {"data": ...}. Lists return next_cursor: pass it as cursor to get the next page. Page size limit is 1 to 100, 25 by default. Errors: an HTTP status and {"error": {"code": "...", "message": "..."}}, the message language follows Accept-Language.

} while (cursor)External chat
Support conversations from your app and website reach the Opero Inbox through your server. Your AI assistant answers first and hands the conversation over to people: your server creates a conversation in Opero, your team replies in the Inbox, and each reply goes straight to your server as a webhook.
- URL
- https://my.operobusiness.ru/api/v1/conversations
- Key
- an API key with External chat only access (channels): without it 403, company data is not visible with this key
- Channel
- Settings, External chat: channel key, webhook URL, signing secret, how AI replies, retention
- Limit
- 1,200 requests per minute per company, no per-address limits; 429 with Retry-After. Typing signals are counted separately: 6,000 per minute
Personal data
- You can send a pseudonym only:
contact.label(Passenger 7K2Q), a permanent external client IDcontact.external_id, the languageru,tgoren, the sourceapp_ios,app_androidorsite, and texts with placeholders instead of data:[код брони](booking code),[телефон](phone),[почта](email),[номер билета](ticket number),[номер документа](document number),[фамилия](surname). - Or you can show the client's details to your team right in the conversation card: the
customerandcardblocks (see Client card below). Only your company's team sees the card; Opero stores it encrypted and never passes it to the AI model or to analytics. Opero AI never asks for or repeats personal data. - Opero downloads client files from your link as soon as they arrive and keeps them encrypted: your team sees photos as images and can zoom in, PDFs and other files are downloaded. The link must work without signing in for at least a few minutes, files up to 15 MB.

Conversation
A conversation is unique by external_id within the company. A repeat with the same external_id returns the existing conversation (200) and adds history without duplicates by client_id; a resolved or closed conversation is reopened. topic: refund, booking, baggage, payment, complaint, other; priority: normal or high; links: up to 10 https links, shown in Opero as the Client details button; history: up to 50 messages {client_id, role, text, at}, role: customer, assistant or system, text up to 4,000 characters.

}Client card
Client details arrive as the customer and card blocks in POST /conversations or in a separate PUT /conversations/{id}/card with the same blocks: a 200 answer, and no new messages appear in the conversation. A block you send replaces the previous one entirely; in PUT the value null removes a block, in POST you can leave out a block that hasn't changed. Responses carry contact_id (the CRM contact) and card_updated_at (when the card was updated). An invalid block in POST doesn't stop the handoff: the conversation is created, the block isn't saved, and the response carries warnings [{field, code, message}]; in PUT an invalid block gets 422 invalid_field.

After a

If there is no such contact, Opero creates one with the name, phone and email. All of the client's conversations are visible on the contact page.

Text up to 4,000 characters, up to 5 file links {name, mime, size, url}. Opero downloads the files right away (https and public addresses only, up to 3 redirects, up to 15 MB, the type is detected from the content), retries after 30 seconds, 2 and 10 minutes and keeps a copy: your team can open it even after your link has stopped working. In GET /messages client files come with your own links. A repeat with the same client_id returns the stored message (200) and ignores the new body. A closed conversation accepts no messages: 409 conversation_closed; reopen it with POST /conversations and the same external_id.

Your team sees a line with the client pseudonym in the conversation window, for example "Passenger 7K2Q is typing…", for 6 seconds: a new signal extends it and a client message clears it. Send the signal every 1 to 3 seconds while the client is typing.- The signal is neither stored nor retried. Your team gets at most one signal per second per conversation, extra ones also get 204. It has its own limit, 6,000 per minute per company, and doesn't use the general limit of 1,200. A closed conversation gets no signal (204), any other

The client has read your team's messages up to and including numberN(numbers fromconversation.messagewebhooks andGET /messages); those replies get a read mark in your team's window.- The number only grows: a smaller or equal one changes nothing, a number above the latest counts as the latest. The mark is stored with the conversation and deleted with it.

Unapproved AI drafts and internal marks are never sent. A team member's name arrives as the first name and the surname initial; AI replies carry the name from the channel settings. A reply approved from an AI draft comes as a regular team reply. Every message has a seq that grows within the conversation.
Every event has the same body: id (the same as Opero-Event-Id), type (the same as Opero-Event), created_at (ISO 8601 UTC), channel (the channel key), conversation: {"id", "external_id"}, and the event's own fields next to them at the top level: message, status, assignee, author. There is no separate event field: the event type is in type.

Opero-Signature: t=<time>,v1=<signature>, where the signature is the hex HMAC-SHA256 of the string <time>.<body> with the channel secret; use the body bytes exactly as received. The secret is shown once, when the channel is created and when it is reissued. For 24 hours after a reissue the header carries two v1 values, one per secret: accept the request if either matches.

return FalseDelivery and retries
- A 2xx answer within 10 seconds means delivered. Otherwise retries after 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours with the same
Opero-Event-Id: store it and don't process an event twice. - A 410 answer stops the retries of that event.
- Events of one conversation are sent one at a time in
seqorder. A failed one doesn't hold the next ones: if you see a gap inseq, callGET /conversations/{id}/messages?after=<last seq>. - https and public addresses only: the address is checked before every request, Opero never calls private or local addresses and doesn't follow redirects.
Statuses and AI
- A new client message makes the conversation open (
open); a reply from your team or AI makes it waiting for the client (pending). Your team can set resolved and closed, your serverresolvedandopen. - AI mode per channel: drafts (a team member approves or edits, the client only sees approved replies), replies on its own (a message with
author.type: "ai") or off. - Money, refunds, complaints and claims, ticket errors, baggage, health and special cases, threats and requests for a person always go to your team without an AI reply, and the conversation is marked as needing a person.
- AI answers in the client's language from the company knowledge base, never promises refunds, deadlines or amounts, and doesn't quote prices, schedules or booking statuses: it sends the client to your assistant in the app and on the website.
Retention and deletion
- Conversations are kept for the number of days set in the channel (365 by default) and then deleted completely, together with the client card and files.
DELETE /conversations/{id}deletes the whole conversation with its AI and analytics copies: messages, history, the client card, client and team files, translations for your team, AI employee log entries and webhook deliveries. A CRM contact Opero created for this conversation is deleted as well if it has no other conversations or records from your team.- Message texts, card details and file links are not written to server logs: only IDs, sizes and codes.
Errors
| HTTP | code | When |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | invalid_json | the body is not a JSON object |
| 401 | unauthorized | no key or an invalid key |
| 403 | insufficient_scope | the key has no channels access |
| 404 | not_found | the conversation doesn't exist or was deleted |
| 409 | conversation_closed | a message to a closed conversation |
| 409 | channel_mismatch | the external_id belongs to a conversation in another channel |
| 422 | invalid_field, channel_not_found | a field failed validation (including state, seq and the customer and card fields): its name is in field, for example card.sections[0].rows[2].value |

Webhooks
Opero sends a POST with JSON to your https address when something happens in the company. The address and events are set in API & AI integrations, along with the delivery log and a test button.
| Event | When it is sent | What is in data |
|---|---|---|
| lead.created | a new lead appeared: from a form, a channel, manually or through the API | lead |
| deal.won | a lead got the won status, including when the pipeline sees the payment | lead, amount |
| invoice.paid | an invoice was marked paid: by the bank, 1C or manually | invoice |

- A 2xx response within 10 seconds means delivered.
- Otherwise Opero retries after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours and 6 hours: 6 attempts in total.
- Redirects are not followed. The address must be https and public: Opero never calls private or local addresses.
- A 410 response or 20 failed events in a row turn the webhook off, you can turn it back on in settings.
- Events are checked every 30 seconds, so they arrive within about a minute. The same event may arrive twice: store the event
idand skip repeats.
ping event and shows your server's answer.Limits
| What | Limit |
|---|---|
| Requests per key or connected app | 120 per minute and 3,000 per hour |
| All requests of a company | 600 per minute |
| Writes | 60 per minute per key or app |
Ask Opero (ask) | 10 per hour per key, 30 per hour per company |
| API keys | 20 per company |
| Connected apps | 50 per company |
| Webhooks | 10 per company |
| Request body | 256 KB, 1 MB for MCP |
Over the limit the answer is HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header in seconds. In MCP a tool call over the limit returns a result with isError so the model waits.
Error codes
| Code | HTTP | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| unauthorized | 401 | no key or token in the header |
| invalid_token | 401 | the key or token is invalid, revoked or expired |
| wrong_audience | 401 | the OAuth token was issued for another resource |
| owner_inactive | 401 | the person who granted access is no longer in the company |
| insufficient_scope | 403 | write access is required |
| read_only_company | 403 | the company is read-only |
| bad_request | 400 | invalid fields, the response includes field |
| assignee_is_ai | 400 | tasks for AI employees are assigned inside Opero |
| not_found | 404 | the record does not exist or belongs to another company |
| rate_limited | 429 | the limit is exceeded, see Retry-After |
| unavailable | 503 | a temporary failure, retry later |
Security
- Every request sees only the company of its key or connection: other records answer 404.
- Access is never wider than that of the person who granted it, and it is checked on every call.
- Keys and tokens are stored in Opero only as hashes. The webhook secret is stored separately because it is needed to sign requests.
- Every call goes to the API & AI integrations log for 7 days.
- Connections are encrypted, backups are made every night, and every AI action is in the log.
- Data may contain text written by outside people (client messages, notes). If your agent reads it, it should treat such text as data, not as instructions.
