Build with Jelou

Connect your applications and AI assistants to Jelou's messaging and automation platform. Choose the documented API for direct messaging integrations, the MCP server for compatible AI clients, or the official CLI for terminal workflows.

Start a project

Create an account with the Free plan, or sign in to your workspace. Check the current plan limits and usage pricing before choosing the services your project needs. Use a test project and the relevant service's documented testing tools before sending messages to customers.

Public documentation and specifications are available without signing in. Access to account data and actions requires authorization. Credentials and permissions depend on the service you are integrating with.

Messaging API

The OpenAPI 3.1 specification documents the messaging API at https://api.jelou.ai/v1. It includes the sendMessage operation, request schemas and response definitions. The specification is maintained by Jelou Docs; this site's discovery URL redirects to that current source.

Use the API's documented HTTP Basic authentication and messaging credentials. Follow the API reference to configure a bot, obtain the appropriate credentials, select the message type and handle error responses. MCP OAuth tokens are for the MCP service and should not be used as messaging API credentials.

curl --fail-with-body --location https://jelou.ai/openapi.json

Connect through MCP

The hosted Jelou MCP server uses Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.jelou.ai/mcp. Add that URL in your client's connector settings and complete its OAuth sign-in flow. Follow the connection guide for client-specific instructions.

Download the connection configuration, or adapt the following configuration to your client's format:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jelou": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.jelou.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

After authorization, use the MCP client's tool discovery to inspect the available operations. Requests without authorization receive HTTP 401 and a challenge identifying the resource metadata; they do not expose private account tools or data.

OAuth authentication and scoped permissions

The MCP service publishes OAuth authorization-server metadata, OpenID Connect discovery and protected-resource metadata. Clients should discover endpoints and supported scopes from these documents and follow the server's challenge. The canonical authorization server and protected resource are hosted at https://mcp.jelou.ai.

Permissions are scoped to the actions required. For example, projects:read supports project reading, projects:write covers project changes, database:read and database:write distinguish database operations, and functions:read and functions:write distinguish function access. The live metadata's scopes_supported field is the authoritative list. A requested scope does not itself grant access: the user must authorize the client, and the service enforces account permissions.

Official CLI

Install @jelou/cli from npm, sign in and inspect the available commands. The CLI supports machine-readable JSON output for automation.

npm install -g @jelou/cli
jelou login
jelou --help
