# Marketo MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server for interacting with the Marketo API. This server provides tools for managing Marketo forms, including listing, cloning, and approving forms.
[](https://smithery.ai/server/@alexleventer/marketo-mcp)
## Prerequisites
- Node.js (v14 or higher)
- Marketo API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)
- A Marketo instance with API access enabled
- Claude Desktop installed
## Getting Started
### 1. Obtain Marketo API Credentials
1. Log into your Marketo admin panel
2. Navigate to **Admin** > **Integration** > **LaunchPoint**
3. Click **New** > **New Service**
4. Fill in the service details:
- Service: Custom
- Display Name: (e.g., "MCP Server")
5. Save the provided **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
### 2. Configure Environment Variables
1. Create a `.env` file in the root directory:
```env
# Your Marketo instance URL (required)
# Example: https://123-ABC-456.mktorest.com/rest
MARKETO_BASE_URL=your-marketo-instance-url
# Your API credentials (required)
MARKETO_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
MARKETO_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
```
### 3. Installation and Setup
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
# The build process will output configuration settings in your console
# Copy these settings into your Claude Desktop developer configuration
```
### 4. Claude Desktop Configuration
1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Go to Developer Settings
3. [Paste the configuration settings](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user#2-add-the-filesystem-mcp-server) that were output during the build process
4. Save the configuration
5. Restart Claude Desktop
## Available Tools
### Get Forms List
```typescript
marketo_get_forms({
maxReturn: 200, // optional, default: 200
offset: 0, // optional, default: 0
status: 'draft' // optional, 'draft' or 'approved'
})
```
### Get Form by ID
```typescript
marketo_get_form_by_id({
formId: 1234
})
```
### Clone Form
```typescript
marketo_clone_form({
formId: 1234, // ID of form to clone
name: "New Form Name", // Name for the cloned form
description: "Form description", // optional
folderId: 5678 // optional, destination folder ID
})
```
### Approve Form
```typescript
marketo_approve_form({
formId: 1234,
comment: "Approved by MCP server" // optional
})
```
## Error Handling
Common error scenarios and solutions:
1. **Authentication Errors**
- Verify your Client ID and Client Secret are correct
- Check that your API access is enabled in Marketo
- Ensure your instance URL is correct
2. **Permission Errors**
- Verify your API user has sufficient permissions
- Check folder access permissions for form operations
3. **Rate Limiting**
- The server automatically handles token refresh
- Consider implementing retry logic for rate-limited requests
## Best Practices
1. **Environment Management**
- Never commit `.env` files to version control
- Use different credentials for development and production
- Regularly rotate your API credentials
2. **Security**
- Store credentials securely
- Use environment variables for sensitive data
- Monitor API access logs
3. **Performance**
- Cache form data when appropriate
- Use pagination for large form lists
- Handle rate limits appropriately
