Usage Examples

Example 1: Creating a Deal with Contact

Claude, create a new deal for "Enterprise Software License" worth $50,000.
The contact is John Smith (john@acme.com). Set the expected close date
to the end of next month and add a follow-up call for tomorrow.

Claude will:

1. Search for or create the person "John Smith"
2. Create the deal linked to this person
3. Schedule a call activity for tomorrow
4. Provide a summary with IDs and next steps

Example 2: Searching for Contacts

Find all contacts at Acme Corporation and show me their recent deals.

Claude will:

1. Search organizations for "Acme Corporation"
2. Get all persons associated with that organization
3. Retrieve deals for each person
4. Present organized results with totals

Example 3: Managing Activities

Show me all overdue activities for my open deals and reschedule them
to next week.

Claude will:

1. List all activities with done=false and past due dates
2. Filter for activities linked to open deals
3. Update each activity with new dates next week
4. Provide a summary of rescheduled items

Example 4: Using Custom Fields

Before creating this deal, show me what custom fields are available
for deals and explain what each one means.

Claude will:

1. Access the pipedrive://custom-fields resource
2. Extract deal-specific custom fields
3. Display field names, types, and options
4. Explain how to use them in deal creation

Example 5: Pipeline Management

Generate a pipeline report showing deal counts and total values for
each stage in my sales pipeline.

Claude will:

1. Use the pipedrive://pipelines resource
2. Get deal summaries grouped by stage
3. Calculate totals and percentages
4. Format as a readable report

Example 6: Weekly Review Workflow

Run the weekly pipeline review prompt.

Claude will:

1. Execute the weekly-pipeline-review prompt
2. Gather all open deals by stage
3. Calculate metrics (won/lost, approaching close, stale deals)
4. Generate actionable recommendations

Custom fields

Pass custom field values by display name when creating or updating deals, persons, organizations, products, or leads:

{
  "title": "ACME Enterprise Deal",
  "value": 50000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "custom_fields": {
    "Industria": "Tech",
    "Budget": 50000
  }
}

The MCP server resolves names to Pipedrive hash keys automatically. See docs/CUSTOM_FIELDS.md for the full guide.

Stage and lead-label management

Manage pipeline stages and lead labels directly from the LLM:

{ "name": "Qualified", "pipeline_id": 1, "deal_probability": 75 }

Convert qualified leads into deals (or roll a deal back to a lead) via the asynchronous *_convert_to_* / *_convert_status tool pairs.

Deal installments

Manage scheduled, fixed payments on a deal (API v2 — the modern replacement for the legacy subscriptions feature):

{ "id": 123, "description": "Deposit", "amount": 500, "billing_date": "2026-01-15" }

Tools: deals_list_installments, deals_add_installment, deals_update_installment, deals_delete_installment.

Full field coverage

Field tools now cover every entity: deal, person, organization, product, lead and note field listings (fields_list_lead_fields, fields_list_note_fields — read-only), plus full project field CRUD via API v2 (fields_list_project_fields, fields_create_project_field, fields_update_project_field, fields_delete_project_field).

Architecture

Core Components

• PipedriveClient - HTTP client with rate limiting, caching, and retry logic
• Rate Limiter - Bottleneck-based limiter (10 req/s, burst capacity)
• Cache Layer - TTL-based cache with LRU eviction (500 item max)
• Retry Handler - Exponential backoff for transient failures
• Metrics Collector - Request tracking and performance monitoring
• Error Handler - Standardized error formatting with context

Tool Structure

Each tool follows a consistent pattern:

1. Zod Schema - Input validation with descriptive errors
2. Description - Detailed usage instructions for the LLM
3. Handler - Async function that calls PipedriveClient

Resources

Three MCP resources provide read-only reference data:

• pipedrive://pipelines - All pipelines with stages and deal counts
• pipedrive://custom-fields - Custom field definitions for all entities
• pipedrive://current-user - Authenticated user info and permissions

Prompts

Five guided workflows for common operations:

• create-deal-workflow - Complete deal creation with person and activity
• sales-qualification - BANT qualification checklist
• follow-up-sequence - Multi-day activity sequence
• weekly-pipeline-review - Pipeline health report
• lost-deal-analysis - Lost deal pattern analysis

Performance

Rate Limiting

• Default: 10 requests/second (100ms between requests)
• Burst: 100 token reservoir that refills every minute
• Auto-retry: 429 errors automatically retry after 5 seconds

Caching Strategy

| Data Type | TTL | Reason | | ------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------- | | Pipelines | 10 min | Pipeline structures change infrequently | | Custom Fields | 15 min | Field definitions are relatively static | | User Info | 1 min | User data may change during session | | List Requests | 5 min | Default for paginated results |

Metrics

The server tracks:

• Total requests and success rate
• Average response time
• Error rate by type
• Cache hit rate
• Rate limit events

Access metrics with the system/metrics tool.

API Reference

This MCP server implements the Pipedrive REST API v1. For detailed API documentation, see:

• Pipedrive API Reference
• Pipedrive API Changelog
• Rate Limits

Advanced Usage

Custom Field Discovery

Before creating or updating entities, check available custom fields:

// Access via MCP resource
//custom-fields

// Or use field tools
pipedrive: fields / deal - fields;
fields / person - fields;
fields / org - fields;
fields / activity - fields;

Error Handling

All tools return structured errors with:

• Error type (validation, authentication, rate limit, etc.)
• Detailed message
• Suggested actions
• Original API error (if applicable)

Workflow Automation

Chain multiple tools together for complex workflows:

1. Lead Qualification

• Search for person
• Get their deals and activities
• Create qualification note
• Update deal stage

1. Deal Pipeline Movement

• Get deal details
• Check custom field requirements
• Update custom fields
• Move to next stage
• Create next activity

1. Reporting

• List deals by stage
• Get deal summaries
