Can AI agents automate Knock?

Knock · saas · communicationsdeveloper-tools

Knock is automatable today through its hosted MCP server. This record is Knock notification infrastructure: workflows, channels, templates, users, and message delivery. Customer.io is a separate product. The REST API base is https://api.knock.app/v1. Secret keys are prefixed sk_ and are sent as Authorization: Bearer. A key is scoped to one environment. Official SDKs are documented for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, Java, .NET, and Elixir. The hosted MCP server is https://mcp.knock.app/mcp. Interactive clients use OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and choose tool groups. Headless clients can send a Knock service token as a bearer credential, which enables every tool group and should be scoped in the Management API. Default groups include Management API code mode, the Knock agent, debug, and documentation. Code mode can call the Management API at https://control.knock.app. The Knock CLI installs as @knocklabs/cli or Homebrew, signs in with knock login or a service token, and pulls and pushes workflows, templates, and translations. Outbound webhook payloads were not opened as their own page. Connector catalogs were not opened. https://docs.knock.app/llms.txt is a documentation index. Computer-use viability is unassessed. MCP scores 8 and is the best path because the hosted server covers management, debugging, and docs with OAuth. The API and CLI each score 7.

Best path today: mcp · Overall automatability: 8/10
