Custom Connectors

Connect Vtiger CRM to Claude Code

Make Claude log activity and advance opportunities in Vtiger CRM. From the terminal, inside the sessions where you already work.

How do you connect Vtiger CRM to Claude Code?

Claude Code reaches outside tools through MCP servers. To connect Vtiger CRM, you add a Vtiger CRM MCP server: a small hosted service that exposes Vtiger CRM's data and actions over the Model Context Protocol. With a custom connector we build for you, that is one command in the terminal, then an OAuth sign-in with your own Vtiger CRM account. No API keys pasted into config files.

claude mcp add --transport http vtiger https://your-connector-url/mcp

Then run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to sign in. Add it with --scope project and the connector is checked into the repo for your whole team.

What can Claude Code do in Vtiger CRM once connected?

Full read-write Vtiger access lets Claude create and update contacts, organizations, leads, and opportunities, advance an opportunity to the next sales stage, log calls, events, and to-dos, and move a case forward, all once you approve. The data entry that used to mean clicking through modules happens where your CRM already keeps it.

  • Create or update a contact, organization, or lead from a conversation or email
  • Advance an opportunity to the next sales stage and update its amount
  • Convert a qualified lead into a contact and linked opportunity after you approve
  • Log a call, event, or to-do against the right record
  • Move a support case forward and reassign it to the right owner
  • Find every record matching a query and propose batched field updates

One connector, every Claude surface

The connector we build is a remote MCP server, which is the same standard claude.ai and Claude Desktop use. Add it once and the same Vtiger CRM access works in Claude Code for you, in claude.ai for the rest of the team, and in Claude Desktop. One build, one set of permissions, one monthly plan covering all of them.

Build it yourself, or have it built?

If you live in the terminal, you can absolutely write your own MCP server against the Vtiger CRM API. The protocol is open. What you take on is everything around the happy path: OAuth token refresh, hosting, monitoring, keeping up when Vtiger CRM changes its API and when the MCP spec itself moves, and scoping write actions so an agent can never do more than you intended. We build Vtiger CRM connectors with separated read and write tools and approval gates on destructive actions, then host and maintain them so they keep working while you work.

Frequently asked questions

Does the same Vtiger CRM connector work in claude.ai and Claude Code?
Yes. It is one remote MCP server. Claude Code adds it with a single "claude mcp add" command; claude.ai and Claude Desktop add it as a custom connector in Settings. Each person signs in with their own Vtiger CRM account, so access always matches what that person can already see and do.
Do I need to host or maintain anything myself?
No. The connector runs as a hosted service we operate: we handle uptime, token health, API changes on Vtiger CRM's side, and MCP spec migrations under the monthly plan. Your side is one command in the terminal and an OAuth sign-in.
Is it safe to give a coding agent write access to Vtiger CRM?
Write access is scoped, not blanket. Read tools and write tools are separated, destructive actions like deleting or sending are gated behind your explicit approval, and the connector can never exceed the permissions of the Vtiger CRM account it signs in with. Revoking access is one click in Vtiger CRM.
