Use SpamFoo Help With AI Assistants

SpamFoo Help has a public MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for an AI assistant to use outside tools. With this server, an assistant can search these help pages and read them, so its answers about SpamFoo come from the current help instead of memory.

  • The server is read-only. It cannot change anything.
  • It needs no sign-in or API key.
  • It only returns help content. It never has access to your mail server or your SpamFoo data.
  • Requests are limited per IP address, so a script that sends a burst of requests may be told to slow down.

Server Address

The server uses streamable HTTP at this address:

https://help.spamfoo.com/mcp

Add the Server to Your Assistant

Claude

Add a custom connector in Claude's connector settings and enter the server address above. Leave any sign-in fields empty.

Claude Code

Run this command in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http spamfoo-help https://help.spamfoo.com/mcp

Other MCP Clients

Most MCP clients that support remote servers accept the address above. Many read a JSON configuration like this one. The file name and the exact keys differ between clients, so check your client's documentation.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spamfoo-help": {
      "url": "https://help.spamfoo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The server offers these tools. Every tool is read-only.

  • search: Search the SpamFoo Help Center and return matching pages.
  • fetch: Read a help page or one section of it.
  • search_help: Search the SpamFoo Help Center with keywords, exact names (such as SPAMFOO_BIND_ADDRESS or Queue.MaxConcurrency) or a question in plain words.
  • get_page: Read one help page, or one section of it, as Markdown.
  • list_pages: List every help page grouped by section, with a one-sentence summary and URL for each.
  • find_fix: Describe a symptom or error and get the best three matching troubleshooting entries, each with its causes and fixes in full.
  • lookup_setting: Find a SpamFoo Client setting by environment variable, command-line option, settings key or name, and return its description and default.
  • lookup_endpoint: List the local HTTP API endpoints of SpamFoo Client, or find one by route or method and read its API Reference page.

The same tools are also available over plain HTTP. See the OpenAPI description.

Markdown Pages

If you would rather give an assistant a page directly, every help page is also available as Markdown. Add .md to the page address, or use /index.md for the home page. For example, https://help.spamfoo.com/guides/install.md is the Markdown version of the install guide.

  • llms.txt lists every page with a one-sentence summary.
  • llms-full.txt has the Markdown of every page in one file.
