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:
- Sign in to Copper → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → API Keys → Generate API Key.
- Copy: the key + the email of the user it belongs to.
- Set:
COPPER_API_KEY= generated keyCOPPER_USER_EMAIL= the email of the API key ownerCOPPER_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
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 ChatGPT
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.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
Copper CRM. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.
