Introduction to Pathbound

Pathbound is the customer-context layer for AI agents and humans. It connects data from your CRM, website analytics, email, and other tools into a single profile per contact and company — then exposes that context through three surfaces:

REST API — Programmatic access to contacts, companies, deals, events and conversations, and to the actions your connected tools can take: tagging, segments, automations, enrichment and sending email.
MCP server — Same data and actions, tool-shaped, for Claude.ai and other Model Context Protocol clients.
Events — A 5 KB JavaScript snippet that captures behavioral events on your website and links them to contacts.

These docs cover all three.

Reading these docs from an AI agent

Every page is also published as machine-readable markdown so an assistant can ground its answers in the current product knowledge:

https://pathbound.ai/llms.txt — curated index of every page (titles, descriptions, links).
https://pathbound.ai/llms-full.txt — the full docs concatenated into one bundle for one-shot ingestion.
https://pathbound.ai/docs/<page>.md — the raw markdown for any single page.

For step-by-step setup with Claude Projects, ChatGPT, or your own agent, see Use with AI tools.

Base URL

All API v1 endpoints are served under:

https://api.pathbound.ai/v1

The MCP server lives at https://mcp.pathbound.ai/mcp. The events snippet is served from https://events.pathbound.ai/snippet.js.

Error format

All REST error responses follow a consistent shape:

{
  "status": "error",
  "error": "A human-readable message",
  "code": "a_stable_word",
  "details": [],
  "timestamp": "2026-10-12T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Validation errors (400) include a details array with per-field messages. code is present when the error has one. The statuses and what each means are listed under Errors.

Rate limits

REST API: limited per workspace and per IP address, well above what an integration needs in normal use. A request over a limit is answered with 429 Too Many Requests and a Retry-After header. See Rate limits.
Public form submission: 30/min/IP globally, 100/min per workspace.
Event ingestion /track and /recover-visitor: per-domain and per-IP rate limits, tuned for normal browser traffic.

Streaming

Pathbound can push events and record changes to your own URLs as they happen, or act on them: add a tag, change a Resend segment, email everyone who submits a form. A stream that posts to a URL is set up in the dashboard; automations can also be created over the API. See API Reference → Streaming for the payload format, signature verification and the endpoints.
