Hosted Intercom MCP alternatives
Like Intercom's server, every option here is a managed remote endpoint: you add it by URL and authenticate over OAuth, with no process to install or keep running. That is the draw if you valued how little Intercom asked of you and want the same arrangement pointed at a different product.
One honest note: the hosted servers that line up against Intercom skew toward CRM and project tracking rather than a support inbox, because that is where teams' next-door tooling tends to sit. The list reflects that, with no pure support-desk match among them.

How to choose
None of the hosted picks is a pure support-inbox stand-in, since that is where Intercom is strongest. For customer records, Attio, Close, and HubSpot are the direct CRM choices. Atlassian, monday, Plane, Shortcut, and Asana fit routing conversations into tracked work as issues, boards, and projects. Each installs the way Intercom's server does: a URL and an OAuth grant, nothing to run.
