NextCRM MCP Server Skill

Use the NextCRM MCP server to read and write CRM data. This skill documents all available tools and how to use them.

Connection Setup

The server supports two MCP transports. Pick one — most modern clients (Claude Code, Cursor) work with either.

Option A — Streamable HTTP (recommended)

Single POST endpoint. Simpler, the current MCP spec default.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nextcrm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://YOUR_NEXTCRM_URL/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Option B — SSE (legacy, for older clients)

Two endpoints: a GET SSE stream and a POST message channel. The client opens /api/mcp/sse, the server announces the matching /api/mcp/message?sessionId=… endpoint over the stream, and the client POSTs JSON-RPC there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nextcrm": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://YOUR_NEXTCRM_URL/api/mcp/sse",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

You only configure the /sse URL — the client discovers the message endpoint automatically.

Notes

• Replace YOUR_NEXTCRM_URL with your NextCRM instance URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000 for local dev)
• Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with a token generated from Profile > Developer > API Tokens
• Token prefix: nxtc__
• Some clients omit the type field and infer the transport from the URL — both forms above include it explicitly for clarity

Authentication

All tools require a valid Bearer token. Tokens are generated from the Developer tab in your profile settings. Each token is SHA-256 hashed — the raw value is shown only once at creation.

Common Workflows

Research a company and create an account

1. crm_search_accounts — check if it already exists
2. crm_create_account — create the account with company details
3. crm_create_contact — add key contacts
4. crm_create_activity — log the research as a note

Build a prospecting campaign

1. crm_create_target_list — create a target list
2. crm_create_target (repeated) — add prospects
3. crm_add_to_target_list — add targets to the list
4. campaigns_create — create the campaign
5. campaigns_create_template — create email template
6. campaigns_create_step — add sequence steps
7. campaigns_assign_target_list — connect target list to campaign
8. campaigns_send — launch the campaign

Track a deal pipeline

1. crm_list_opportunities — review current pipeline
2. crm_create_opportunity — add new deal
3. crm_create_activity — log meetings and calls
4. crm_link_document — attach proposals
5. crm_update_opportunity — update stage/amount as deal progresses

Enrich contacts with AI

1. crm_list_targets or crm_search_targets — find targets to enrich
2. crm_enrich_target_bulk — enrich up to 100 targets at once
3. crm_get_target — check enrichment results

Reassign records to another user

1. crm_list_users — resolve the person's name to a user ID (query does a substring match on name)
2. crm_update_account / crm_update_contact / crm_update_lead / crm_update_opportunity — set assigned_to to that ID
3. Pass assigned_to: null instead to unassign; omit it entirely to leave the current owner alone

A member token can only reassign records it already owns, and the target must be an ACTIVE user — otherwise the update returns NOT_FOUND.

Project management

1. projects_create_board — create a project board
2. projects_create_section — add columns (To Do, In Progress, Done)
3. projects_create_task — add tasks
4. projects_move_task — move tasks between sections
5. projects_add_comment — discuss tasks

Notes

• All list operations support pagination (cursor-based)
• Search operations use substring matching
• Delete operations are soft-deletes (set deletedAt, recoverable via admin audit log)
• Reads are scoped by the token owner's role, matching the web UI: admin and manager tokens see all non-deleted records, member tokens see only their own
• Writes are gated per-record. A denied write returns NOT_FOUND rather than FORBIDDEN, so a failure never confirms a record exists
• assigned_to accepts an active user ID (reassign) or explicit null (unassign); omitting it leaves the owner untouched. Use crm_list_users to resolve the ID
• Enrichment tools require API keys (OpenAI + Firecrawl) configured at system or user level
