Set up the Gong MCP server

The MintMCP Gong MCP server gives AI agents access to Gong call recordings, transcripts, meeting management, user data, and conversation analytics. This guide covers connecting the MintMCP-hosted Gong server using per-user OAuth or an organization API token.

Prerequisites

• A MintMCP admin account
• A Gong account with admin access

Add Gong to MintMCP

Per-user OAuth (recommended)

Per-user OAuth lets each team member authenticate with their own Gong account. Actions are attributed to their individual identity and limited by their existing Gong permissions.

Create a Gong integration

1. Go to app.gong.io and sign in as an admin.

2. Navigate to Admin Center > Settings > Ecosystem > API.

3. Select the Integrations tab.

4. Click Create Integration.

5. Fill in the integration details:

   Field	Value
   Name	MintMCP
   Description	Gong MCP server
   Short description	Gong MCP server

6. In the Required authorization scopes section, check all of the following scopes:

   Scope	Access granted
   api:calls:read:basic	Read basic call data
   api:calls:read:transcript	Read call transcripts
   api:calls:create	Create calls
   api:users:read	Read user information
   api:stats:interaction	Read interaction statistics
   api:stats:user-actions	Read user action statistics
   api:settings:trackers:read	Read tracker settings
   api:call-outcomes:read	Read call outcomes
   api:workspaces:read	Read workspace information
   api:meetings:user:create	Create meetings
   api:meetings:user:update	Update meetings
   api:meetings:user:delete	Delete meetings

7. In the Redirect URI needed for the OAuth authorization code flow field, enter:

   https://app.mintmcp.com/oauth/callback

8. Fill in the remaining required links:

   Field	Value
   Privacy Policy	https://www.mintmcp.com/privacy
   Terms & Conditions	https://www.mintmcp.com/terms
   Help article	https://www.mintmcp.com/gong-mcp-setup
   Authorization process begins	https://app.mintmcp.com
   Emails of contacts	Your organization's admin email address
   Domains	app.mintmcp.com

9. Click Save.

Copy the client ID and client secret

1. After saving, Gong displays the integration's Client ID.
2. Click Show secret to reveal the Client Secret.
3. Copy both values — you'll need them in the next step.

Configure in MintMCP

1. Go to app.mintmcp.com/vmcps?tab=manage-store.
2. Find Gong in the list and click to install it.
3. When prompted, enter the Client ID and Client Secret from the previous step.
4. Click Save.

API token

API tokens authenticate as an organization-level credential — all tool calls run with the permissions of the Gong account used to generate the token. Use this option for automated agents or when per-user OAuth is not available.

Generate an API token

1. Go to app.gong.io and sign in as an admin.
2. Navigate to Admin Center > Settings > Ecosystem > API.
3. Click Get API key.
4. Copy the Access Key and Access Key Secret — the secret is shown only once.

Configure in MintMCP

1. Go to app.mintmcp.com/vmcps?tab=manage-store.
2. Find Gong in the list and click to install it.
3. Select env vars as the install mode.
4. Enter the Access Key and Access Key Secret from the previous step.
5. Click Save.

Security considerations

• Store the Client Secret (OAuth) and Access Key Secret (API token) securely — they cannot be recovered after the initial display.
• Per-user OAuth ties each tool call to an individual Gong identity, which provides a cleaner audit trail than a shared API token.
• API tokens run as an organization-level credential — actions are not attributed to a specific user.
• Limit the OAuth integration's scopes to only what the Gong MCP server requires. The scopes listed above are the minimum needed.

Next steps

• Tool customization — Control which Gong tools are exposed to users
• MCP gateway administration — Manage access and permissions
