Copper CRM + ChatGPT

Drive Copper (Google Workspace-native CRM) from any AI agent: people, companies, opportunities, leads, activities, tasks. 12 tools, API-token auth with email + token + appname headers.

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:

COPPER_API_KEY, COPPER_USER_EMAIL, COPPER_APP_NAME

Step 1 — Get credentials

copper.com).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Copper → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → API Keys → Generate API Key.
  2. Copy: the key + the email of the user it belongs to.
  3. Set:
    • COPPER_API_KEY = generated key
    • COPPER_USER_EMAIL = the email of the API key owner
    • COPPER_APP_NAME = a label for your integration (e.g. anythingmcp)

Authentication: three custom headers — X-PW-AccessToken: ${COPPER_API_KEY}, X-PW-Application: developer_api, X-PW-UserEmail: ${COPPER_USER_EMAIL}. Quirky but it's Copper's convention.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

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

Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports MCP servers via the Connectors feature (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise plans). The free tier does not support custom connectors.

  1. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (or click the 🔧 icon in the composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Click "Add custom connector".
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Copper CRM
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Click Connect to authorize.
