@ainative/zeropipeline-mcp

The AI-native CRM that runs as an MCP server. Give Claude, Codex, Cursor, and any AI agent full access to your sales pipeline, deals, customers, contacts, activities, tasks, and automations.

Zero config required — runs instantly with auto-provisioning. No API key needed to get started.

A free, open-source alternative to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, and Folk with a native AI agent interface.

Install

Run directly (no install needed):

npx @ainative/zeropipeline-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g @ainative/zeropipeline-mcp

Or install the Python package directly:

pip install zeropipeline-mcp

Quick Start — Zero Config

Just run it. The server auto-provisions a free CRM account on first launch:

npx @ainative/zeropipeline-mcp

Your AI agent can immediately start managing pipelines, deals, customers, and more. A claim URL is printed so you can convert the trial to a permanent account.

How It Works

This npm package is a thin Node.js shim that spawns the Python zeropipeline-mcp process with inherited stdio. No Node.js runtime dependencies needed — it delegates to the Python server for MCP protocol communication.

Prerequisites: Python 3.10+ with the zeropipeline-mcp package installed (pip install zeropipeline-mcp).
