Security & scope
- Access scope
- Read + write
- Sandbox
- Hosted by Pipedrive at mcp.pipedrive.ai/mcp over HTTP. Authorisation is a per-user OAuth grant; the server sees exactly what the authorising Pipedrive user sees, and every write is recorded in the account change log. No local process runs and no API token is stored on your machine.
- Gotchas
- The write tools (addDeal, updateDeal, addPerson, addNote and the rest) act as the authorising user, so agent-created records and notes are attributed to that person in the change log and activity feed.
- Usage is metered against the token allowance included in your Pipedrive plan; extra tokens are a paid add-on, so a chatty agent loop has a bill attached.
- Claude may not load all of the tools when a conversation starts — enable "load all available tools" in the connector settings, or the model will silently work with a subset.
- Connecting is a per-user OAuth grant rather than an admin-installed app, so anyone who can log in to Pipedrive can attach an AI client to their own view of the CRM.
Agent prompt pack
— copy into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT.Paste into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT. Edit the [brackets] before sending.
Recommend the best MCP servers for [task: e.g. crm work] in [client: Claude.ai]. Constraints: - Prefer tools that are [official | open-source | read-only] — pick what matters for my use case. - Exclude MCPs that require [e.g. a paid plan, OAuth-only flows, remote-only transport]. - Return at most 3 picks, ranked. For each pick include: 1. One-sentence rationale. 2. The ready-to-paste install snippet for my client. 3. Any required secrets I need to create before installing. Cross-check the top-mcps.com listing: https://top-mcps.com/top-mcps-for-crm
Compare Pipedrive against a real alternative. Swap the second MCP in [brackets] if you want a different match.
Compare Pipedrive MCP vs [HubSpot MCP] for the following job: [describe the job, e.g. "let an agent create GitHub issues on bug triage"]. Judge them on: - Setup time and complexity (what a new user hits first). - Auth model (none / API key / OAuth 2.1) and credential risk. - Transport (stdio / Streamable HTTP / SSE) and where the server runs. - Required secrets and the blast radius if they leak. - Operational risk in an unattended agent loop. - Which one is "good enough" for a weekend prototype vs. production. End with one sentence: which should I pick for my scenario, which is: [my scenario]. References: - https://top-mcps.com/mcp/pipedrive - top-mcps.com listing for HubSpot
Asks the agent to install and verify. Works inside Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Codex CLI.
Install the Pipedrive MCP server for my [client: Claude.ai] at the default config path for that client. Use the exact install snippet published at https://top-mcps.com/mcp/pipedrive (fetch https://top-mcps.com/mcp/pipedrive.json for the canonical server.json if you can read URLs). Before finishing: 1. Create the required secrets (no secrets) and put them in the appropriate env block — do not hard-code them. 2. Restart or reload the client so it picks up the new server. 3. Verify the server is connected (green / running state) and at least one tool is listed. 4. If anything fails, read the client's MCP logs and report the exact error — do not silently retry. Confirm when done and list the tools the server now exposes.
