Rate limiting

The iClosed.io API applies rate limits so the platform stays fast and reliable for everyone.

Startup and Business limits

Rate limits apply per account and per endpoint (each path and HTTP method combination is counted separately). Within each 10-second window:

PlanLimit per endpoint
Startup20 requests
Business100 requests

MCP server (/mcp)

The hosted MCP server (https://mcp.iclosed.io/mcp) also applies a per-connection sliding-window limit on top of the /v1 per-endpoint limits. That stops an agent loop from fanning out unlimited tool calls in a short burst.

Connection and OAuth setup: iClosed MCP server.

DefaultValue
Window10 seconds
Max requests20

When exceeded, the MCP server responds with 429 Too Many Requests, Retry-After, and standard RateLimit-* headers. Back off and retry.

How limits are managed

Rate limits are configured and enforced by the iClosed team. They are not something you change from the API or the app yourself.

Need higher limits?

If your integration needs a higher or custom rate limit, contact Support. The team can review your use case and adjust limits where appropriate.

When you exceed the limit

If you send too many requests in a short period, the API may respond with 429 Too Many Requests. Back off, retry with exponential delay, or reduce your request rate. For long-term increases, use Support as described above.
