Usage Examples

Example 1: Creating a Deal with Contact

Claude, create a new deal for "Enterprise Software License" worth $50,000.
The contact is John Smith (john@acme.com). Set the expected close date
to the end of next month and add a follow-up call for tomorrow.

Claude will:

  • Search for or create the person "John Smith"
  • Create the deal linked to this person
  • Schedule a call activity for tomorrow
  • Provide a summary with IDs and next steps

Example 2: Searching for Contacts

Find all contacts at Acme Corporation and show me their recent deals.

Claude will:

  • Search organizations for "Acme Corporation"
  • Get all persons associated with that organization
  • Retrieve deals for each person
  • Present organized results with totals

Example 3: Managing Activities

Show me all overdue activities for my open deals and reschedule them
to next week.

Claude will:

  • List all activities with done=false and past due dates
  • Filter for activities linked to open deals
  • Update each activity with new dates next week
  • Provide a summary of rescheduled items

Example 4: Using Custom Fields

Before creating this deal, show me what custom fields are available
for deals and explain what each one means.

Claude will:

  • Access the pipedrive://custom-fields resource
  • Extract deal-specific custom fields
  • Display field names, types, and options
  • Explain how to use them in deal creation

Example 5: Pipeline Management

Generate a pipeline report showing deal counts and total values for
each stage in my sales pipeline.

Claude will:

  • Use the pipedrive://pipelines resource
  • Get deal summaries grouped by stage
  • Calculate totals and percentages
  • Format as a readable report

Example 6: Weekly Review Workflow

Run the weekly pipeline review prompt.

Claude will:

  • Execute the weekly-pipeline-review prompt
  • Gather all open deals by stage
  • Calculate metrics (won/lost, approaching close, stale deals)
  • Generate actionable recommendations

Custom fields

Pass custom field values by display name when creating or updating deals, persons, organizations, products, or leads:

{
  "title": "ACME Enterprise Deal",
  "value": 50000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "custom_fields": {
    "Industria": "Tech",
    "Budget": 50000
  }
}

The MCP server resolves names to Pipedrive hash keys automatically. See docs/CUSTOM_FIELDS.md for the full guide.

Stage and lead-label management

Manage pipeline stages and lead labels directly from the LLM:

{ "name": "Qualified", "pipeline_id": 1, "deal_probability": 75 }

Convert qualified leads into deals (or roll a deal back to a lead) via the asynchronous *_convert_to_* / *_convert_status tool pairs.

Deal installments

Manage scheduled, fixed payments on a deal (API v2 — the modern replacement for the legacy subscriptions feature):

{ "id": 123, "description": "Deposit", "amount": 500, "billing_date": "2026-01-15" }

Tools: deals_list_installments, deals_add_installment, deals_update_installment, deals_delete_installment.

Full field coverage

Field tools now cover every entity: deal, person, organization, product, lead and note field listings (fields_list_lead_fields, fields_list_note_fields — read-only), plus full project field CRUD via API v2 (fields_list_project_fields, fields_create_project_field, fields_update_project_field, fields_delete_project_field).

Architecture

Core Components

  • PipedriveClient - HTTP client with rate limiting, caching, and retry logic
  • Rate Limiter - Bottleneck-based limiter (10 req/s, burst capacity)
  • Cache Layer - TTL-based cache with LRU eviction (500 item max)
  • Retry Handler - Exponential backoff for transient failures
  • Metrics Collector - Request tracking and performance monitoring
  • Error Handler - Standardized error formatting with context

Tool Structure

Each tool follows a consistent pattern:

  • Zod Schema - Input validation with descriptive errors
  • Description - Detailed usage instructions for the LLM
  • Handler - Async function that calls PipedriveClient

Resources

Three MCP resources provide read-only reference data:

  • pipedrive://pipelines - All pipelines with stages and deal counts
  • pipedrive://custom-fields - Custom field definitions for all entities
  • pipedrive://current-user - Authenticated user info and permissions

Prompts

Five guided workflows for common operations:

  • create-deal-workflow - Complete deal creation with person and activity
  • sales-qualification - BANT qualification checklist
  • follow-up-sequence - Multi-day activity sequence
  • weekly-pipeline-review - Pipeline health report
  • lost-deal-analysis - Lost deal pattern analysis

Performance

Rate Limiting

  • Default: 10 requests/second (100ms between requests)
  • Burst: 100 token reservoir that refills every minute
  • Auto-retry: 429 errors automatically retry after 5 seconds

Caching Strategy

Data TypeTTLReason
Pipelines10 minPipeline structures change infrequently
Custom Fields15 minField definitions are relatively static
User Info1 minUser data may change during session
List Requests5 minDefault for paginated results

Metrics

The server tracks:

  • Total requests and success rate
  • Average response time
  • Error rate by type
  • Cache hit rate
  • Rate limit events

Access metrics with the system/metrics tool.

API Reference

This MCP server implements the Pipedrive REST API v1. For detailed API documentation, see:

Advanced Usage

Custom Field Discovery

Before creating or updating entities, check available custom fields:

// Access via MCP resource
//custom-fields

// Or use field tools
pipedrive: fields / deal - fields;
fields / person - fields;
fields / org - fields;
fields / activity - fields;

Error Handling

All tools return structured errors with:

  • Error type (validation, authentication, rate limit, etc.)
  • Detailed message
  • Suggested actions
  • Original API error (if applicable)

Workflow Automation

Chain multiple tools together for complex workflows:

  • Lead Qualification

    • Search for person
    • Get their deals and activities
    • Create qualification note
    • Update deal stage
  • Deal Pipeline Movement

    • Get deal details
    • Check custom field requirements
    • Update custom fields
    • Move to next stage
    • Create next activity
  • Reporting

    • List deals by stage
    • Get deal summaries
    • Calculate metrics
    • Format as markdown

Troubleshooting

See TROUBLESHOOTING.md for common issues and solutions.

Quick fixes:

  • Authentication errors: Verify your API token at https://app.pipedrive.com/settings/api
  • Rate limiting: Reduce request frequency or enable caching
  • Validation errors: Check tool input schema and required fields
  • Not seeing tools in Claude: Restart Claude Desktop after config changes
