Insightly + ChatGPT
Drive Insightly (CRM + project management) from any AI agent: contacts, organisations, leads, opportunities, projects, tasks. 12 tools, 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:
INSIGHTLY_API_KEY, INSIGHTLY_POD
Step 1 — Get credentials
1 (api.insightly.com/v3.1).
Setup:
- Sign in to Insightly → bottom-left avatar → User Settings → API Key.
- Copy the key. Set
INSIGHTLY_API_KEY. - Note the API URL pod — visible in the same screen as the API key (e.g.
api.na1.insightly.comfor North America #1). SetINSIGHTLY_POD(just the pod part, e.g.na1,eu2).
Authentication: HTTP Basic with username=API_KEY, password=empty.
Pod-specific URL: https://api.{{INSIGHTLY_POD}}.insightly.com/v3.1. Wrong pod → 404.
Lead vs Contact: Insightly has both. Leads are unqualified (no opportunity yet); contacts are people in opportunities or just relationships.

Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Insightly - MCP server URL:
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp - Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
