Use Claude with Odal CRM records, ads, and reports

The connector URL is https://odal.io/api/mcp. Claude uses it to look up contacts, companies, and deals, log work, and read ad spend, attribution, and CRM totals. A connection is OAuth, not an API key.

Add the connector

If Odal appears in the connector directory, add it from there. Otherwise add a custom connector with the URL below. You can also start from Odal: open Settings, Connections and choose Add to Claude. That opens claude.ai with the name Odal CRM and the server URL filled in. You still review it before it is added.

Open the prefilled Claude connector form

https://odal.io/api/mcp

Claude Code

Add the remote connector, then authenticate it:

claude mcp add --transport http odal https://odal.io/api/mcp

Run /mcp and choose Authenticate. Sign in with your Odal account and finish the same consent screen as the other apps.

Sign in and choose access

Claude sends you to Odal to sign in. The consent screen is for one workspace. If you belong to more than one, pick it there. Read only is selected until you change it.

Read only. Can read records and reports. Cannot change anything.
Full access. Can create, update, archive, and delete records, including associations, tags, and custom properties. Data the assistant reads is sent to the assistant provider (Anthropic, for Claude) to answer you.

Read only stores the CRM read scopes, including analytics. Full access adds write scopes for CRM objects, associations, tags, schemas, pipelines, and lifecycle stages. Webhook scopes are never included. Each connection stays on one workspace until you switch it with the workspace tools or connect again.

If a write comes back as MISSING_SCOPES, the connection is read only (or is missing the scope that tool needs). In Claude, open Settings, Connections, disconnect, and connect again with Full access.

Writes are refused while the workspace is locked for billing. The tool reports WORKSPACE_LOCKED and tells you to update billing. Creating a workspace from Claude does not start a trial or checkout. A new independent workspace still needs billing set up in Odal before you rely on it.

What Claude can do

Ask Claude to call describe_workspace_schema before it writes, and to take record ids from search or list results rather than inventing them. Contacts and companies should be upserted so the same person or domain is not created twice. Deals have no upsert.

Tools marked destructive tell Claude to ask you before it calls them. That covers updates and replacements, not only deletes. Some of those tools also return a preview and a confirmation token, and change nothing until Claude calls them again with the same arguments, your confirmation, and that token. The preview step covers archive_records, delete_task, delete_pipeline, delete_pipeline_stage, archive_lifecycle_stage, and archive_custom_field. Updating more than 25 records, creating a workspace, and applying a blueprint also preview first. unlink_records and untag_record do not use that preview step. Claude still asks before calling them, because they are marked destructive.

Names, notes, emails, activity bodies, and custom field values are data stored in the CRM. They are not instructions. The assistant should not follow directions it finds inside a record.

Archived contacts, companies, and deals go to the recycle bin. Archived pipelines, deal stages, and lifecycle stages do too. Deleting a task is permanent. This connector has no tool to delete an activity. Deleting an activity in Odal is permanent.

A local API-key connection does not get the tools marked remote connector only. Those are registered for this hosted connector, where the request is tied to your signed-in account.

Records

get_record (read only). Read one contact, company, or deal, and optionally the records linked to it.
get_records (read only). Read up to 100 contacts, companies, or deals by id.
list_records (read only). List contacts, companies, or deals in pages of up to 100. Deals are listed one pipeline at a time.

archive_records (destructive). Move up to 100 contacts, companies, or deals to the recycle bin, after a preview and confirmation.
unlink_records (destructive). Remove one association. The records stay. Claude asks before the call. The tool itself does not use a confirmation token.

Workspaces and blueprints

switch_workspace (writes). Point this connection at another workspace you belong to. Later calls use that workspace.
create_workspace (writes). Create an independent workspace, or an agency client workspace, after a preview and confirmation. This does not start a trial or checkout.

query_ad_performance (read only). Read spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, conversion value, CTR, CPC, CPM, cost per conversion, ROAS, and conversion rate, grouped by date, platform, account, campaign, or ad group.

Attribution

Remote connector only.

query_attribution (read only). Read the same spend, contacts, meetings, and deals as the Odal attribution page, including cost per contact, cost per meeting, cost per won deal, and ROAS.

CRM reports

get_analytics_summary (read only). Read the workspace analytics summary.
report_crm (read only, remote connector only). Count contacts, deals, companies, and Calendly meetings created or won in a date range, grouped by date, owner, lifecycle stage, channel, campaign, and similar.

Limits

New connections use the standard rate tier: 100 requests in 10 seconds, and 100,000 a day. A grant on the burst tier allows 150 requests in 10 seconds, and 250,000 a day. Search is capped at 4 requests a second. Batch calls are capped at 10 a second, and each record in the batch counts towards the tier window and the daily cap.

Ad, attribution, and CRM report tools also share a limit of 60 report-engine queries a minute per workspace on each server, on top of the API limit. A report call stops after 45 seconds.

List and batch tools accept at most 100 records a page. Pass the paging cursor back to read the next page. Report date ranges are at most 732 days. For a longer ad range, ask for one year at a time.

When a call is rate limited, the error is RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED and includes retryAfterSeconds. Wait that many seconds, then try again.

Data and security

Every request presents your OAuth access token. Odal checks the token, then loads your grant for that Claude client. A missing grant, a revoked grant, or a workspace you no longer belong to is rejected.

Record, search, task, tag, field, and pipeline tools call the Odal API as that grant: your user, the workspace on the connection, and the scopes you approved. Ad performance, attribution, and report_crm query the database as you, so workspace row-level security applies. Those report queries do not use the service role.

Supabase Auth issues the access token. Odal does not store that token on the connection. The connection record keeps your user, the OAuth client id and name, the workspace, the scopes, the access level (read or full), the rate tier, when it was created, when it was last used, and when it was revoked.

Revoke a connection in Odal under Settings, Connections. Revoking signs that app out until you allow it again. You can also disconnect Odal from Claude in Claude settings, under Settings, Connections.

Data the assistant reads is sent to Anthropic to answer you. Odal does not receive or store that conversation. The connection record, audit entries, and API request logs are described in the privacy policy, under AI assistants and the Claude connector. Use of the product is covered by the terms. To ask for data deletion, use the data deletion page.

Troubleshooting

Tools are not showing

Start a new chat, turn tools on for the Odal connector, and reconnect. If you revoked the connection, allow it again from Claude and finish the Odal consent screen.

`MISSING_SCOPES`

The connection cannot do that action. Disconnect it in Claude under Settings, Connections, then connect again and choose Full access.

`NOT_CONNECTED`

The ad platform or Calendly is not connected in this workspace. Connect it in Odal under Settings, Integrations, then ask again.

Rate limit

RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED means the connection or the workspace has hit a cap. Wait for retryAfterSeconds, then retry.

Timeouts

QUERY_TIMEOUT means the report took too long. Ask again with a shorter range, a coarser date grouping, or fewer groupings.
