Drive Close (sales-team CRM) from any AI agent: leads, contacts, opportunities, activities (calls/emails/SMS/notes), tasks, smart views and custom fields. 16 tools, API-key Basic-auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
CLOSE_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
close.com).
Setup:
- Sign in to Close → top-right avatar → Settings → Developer → API Keys → New API Key.
- Name it ('AnythingMCP'), copy the key (starts with
api_). SetCLOSE_API_KEY.
Authentication: HTTP Basic auth with username=API_KEY and password empty. The adapter passes Authorization: Basic base64(API_KEY:). Same as Stripe's auth model.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Enter a name, e.g.
Close CRM, and the remote MCP server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add. - Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
