Manage Freshsales contacts, accounts, deals, tasks and appointments; add notes. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Freshsales connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For sales teams who manage contacts, companies and deals in Freshsales.
The AI searches contacts, companies or deals by name or email, or looks up an exact value such as an email address. It can open a contact with its notes, tasks and deals.
The AI lists the deals of a saved view such as Open Deals with amount, expected close and probability, and opens one with its stage, owner and contacts.
The AI lists tasks that are overdue, due today or open, and upcoming appointments with time and location, so you see what to do next.
The AI searches first to avoid duplicates, then creates a contact or a company, or changes fields of an existing contact.
Changes dataThe AI creates a deal with name, amount and company, or changes a deal's stage, amount or expected close date, after it looks up pipelines and stages.
Changes dataThe AI adds a note to a contact, company or deal, creates a task with a due date, marks a task done, or creates an appointment with attendees.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Freshsales domain and Freshsales API key.
Both are under your profile picture -> Profile Settings -> API Settings: the API key, and the bundle alias below it (for example acme.myfreshworks.com; accounts on freshworks.com or freshsales.io enter that host). The key acts with that user's permissions. Freshsales allows 1,000 API requests per hour per account, shared with your other integrations. Your key is used only to call the Freshsales API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"freshsales": {
"url": "https://freshsales.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"freshsales": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://freshsales.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Freshsales domain and Freshsales API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper account | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per account | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Freshsales server only. Ask your AI to run freshsales_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with freshsales_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with freshsales_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Freshsales. The server calls the Freshsales API with your own Freshsales access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Freshsales domain and Freshsales API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Freshsales domain and Freshsales API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Freshsales API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Freshsales.
Yes, if you approve it. 11 of the 31 Freshsales tools can create or change data. The other 20 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Freshsales server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run freshsales_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run freshsales_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run freshsales_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with freshsales_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
