Zoho CRM + ChatGPT

Manage Zoho CRM (leads, contacts, accounts, deals, tasks, notes, custom modules) from any AI agent. 10 tools, OAuth refresh-token auth.

Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

ZOHO_CLIENT_ID, ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET, ZOHO_REFRESH_TOKEN

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Zoho CRM API v8 (www.zohoapis.com/crm/v8).

Setup — OAuth client + refresh token:

  1. Go to https://api-console.zoho.comAdd Client → Self Client. Generate a 'grant token' with scope ZohoCRM.modules.ALL,ZohoCRM.settings.READ,ZohoCRM.users.READ and copy it.
  2. Exchange it for a refresh token via: curl -X POST 'https://accounts.zoho.com/oauth/v2/token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&code=GRANT_TOKEN'
  3. Save the refresh_token from the response. Set ZOHO_CLIENT_ID, ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET, ZOHO_REFRESH_TOKEN.

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Schritt 3 — Connector in ChatGPT hinzufügen

    • Name: Zoho CRM
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
