HighLevel now ships an official MCP for Claude. It is free, it is genuinely good, and several of you asked where that leaves GHL Command. This post is the permanent answer. The one-line version: the official MCP reads and writes your CRM. GHL Command builds and fixes it. They stack fine together. The side-by-side, verified against HighLevel's own docs: • Build, edit, and publish workflows: official MCP, no. GHL Command, yes, the full builder. • Deep workflow cloning with every internal ID remapped: official, no. GHL Command, yes. • The silent-failure audit, catching actions that point at deleted stages and fields, which GHL skips with no error: official, no. GHL Command, yes. • Funnels and landing pages: official, no. GHL Command, yes, and recently proven live. • Forms: official reads them only. GHL Command builds them, fields, logic, auto-responder. • Pipelines: official lists them. GHL Command creates and edits them. • Whole-account provisioning: official, no. GHL Command, yes. Blueprint builds a client sub-account from one intake. • Setup: the official MCP wins here, one-click OAuth. Ours is a token plus a one-time Firebase step, and that extra setup is exactly what powers the builders. • Cost: the official MCP is included with your GHL plan. GHL Command is $97 a month for unlimited sub-accounts, with a free read-only tier that includes the audit. Why the difference exists: the public API has no write access to workflows, funnels, or forms, and never has. The official MCP is built on the public API, so it inherits that ceiling. GHL Command works the same internal routes GHL's own builders use, which is harder to maintain and worth it, because building is the part that eats your week. If you only need Claude to read and write your CRM, use the official MCP. It is excellent and free. If you want Claude to actually build and fix your automations, funnels, forms, and whole client accounts, that is GHL Command, and today it is the only thing that does it. And if you want to see what "we maintain the hard part" looks like in practice, the Green Doesn't Mean Working course in the classroom walks a real bug from customer email to shipped fix in one day.
