Sales & CRM with MCP servers

CRMs, prospecting and call-intelligence tools. 5 of 6 have an official server from the vendor.

Apollo.ioOfficial

Apollo.io (the sales intelligence platform) hosts an official remote MCP server at mcp.apollo.io/mcp, documented on docs.apollo.io and listed in Anthropic's directory as Anthropic verified. It signs in with OAuth. Caveat: "Apollo MCP server" is also a separate GraphQL product from Apollo GraphQL, a different company.

HubSpotOfficial

HubSpot hosts an official remote MCP server at mcp.hubspot.com, documented on developers.hubspot.com, and a HubSpot connector for Claude listed as Anthropic verified. It uses OAuth with PKCE. It can create and update CRM and marketing records; HubSpot says the Claude connector does not support delete.

SalesforceOfficial

Salesforce publishes official hosted MCP servers (SObject Reads, Mutations, Deletes, All and others) at api.salesforce.com, reported generally available since April 2026. Admins must enable each server, and Claude connects as a custom connector via an External Client App. No directory connector was found. Salesforce's separate local DX server reaches end of life November 2, 2026.

GongOfficial

Gong operates an official remote MCP server at mcp.gong.io/mcp, documented in Gong's help center. A tech admin creates an integration in Gong, then each user connects Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot with OAuth. It is read-only and has three tools: ask_account, ask_deal and generate_brief. Claude directory listing not verified.

GoHighLevelOfficial

HighLevel (GoHighLevel) documents an official MCP server on its developer site, with a Claude-specific endpoint on leadconnectorhq.com. It uses OAuth with the scopes you approve and exposes four tools that reach more than 550 operations, including deletes. No Claude directory listing was found.

LinkedInCommunity only

no official LinkedIn or Microsoft MCP server was verified, and no Claude connector for LinkedIn was found in Anthropic's directory. The leading option is a community server that drives your logged-in browser session locally. LinkedIn's rules prohibit third-party automation and scraping tools, so account restriction is a real risk.
