Nutshell CRM + ChatGPT
Manage Nutshell CRM (leads, contacts, accounts, activities, tasks) from any AI agent. 9 tools, basic-auth with API token.
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:
NUTSHELL_USERNAME, NUTSHELL_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Nutshell REST API v1 (app.nutshell.com/api/v1).
Setup:
- Log into https://app.nutshell.com → top-right avatar → Setup → API → New API key.
- Note the
Username(your Nutshell email) and the generatedAPI key. - Set
NUTSHELL_USERNAME(email) andNUTSHELL_API_KEY.
Authentication: HTTP Basic — username = your account email, password = the API key. Nutshell ALSO supports a legacy JSON-RPC API but the REST endpoints exposed here are easier to consume.
Entity types: Lead (the main pipeline opportunity), Contact (person), Account (company), Activity (call/meeting log), Task (todo). Each has its own endpoint root.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
