Connect Claude and other AI assistants (MCP)
NeoKivo runs a Model Context Protocol server, so an AI assistant like Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT can read and act on your pipeline directly. Create an API key, point your client at the server, and start asking.
Updated 2026-07-06
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard way for AI assistants to use external tools. NeoKivo exposes an MCP server backed by the same tools its in-app Copilot uses, so any MCP client can work your CRM once you connect it with an API key.
What it can do
- Read: search records, and pull up deals, contacts, companies, and reports.
- Act: create and update deals, contacts, and companies, log notes, and set or complete next actions.
- Archiving a record is a separate, explicit action a client must confirm.
The client acts as you. It sees only what your role and deal visibility allow, and it cannot write when your workspace is read-only, such as after a trial ends.
Step 1 — Create an API key
- 1Open Settings → Integrations in NeoKivo.
- 2Under AI assistants (MCP), create an API key. Only the workspace owner can do this.
- 3Copy the key. It starts with nk_live_ and is shown only once.
The key is shown once and stored only as a hash — NeoKivo cannot show it again. If you lose it, delete the key and create a new one.
Step 2 — Connect your client
The server speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.neokivo.com. Authenticate with your key as a bearer token. The setup dialog in the app fills your real server URL and key into the snippets below.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http neokivo https://mcp.neokivo.com \
--header "Authorization: Bearer nk_live_YOUR_KEY"Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf
Add NeoKivo to your client's mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"neokivo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.neokivo.com",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer nk_live_YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}ChatGPT and other clients
Add a custom MCP connector pointed at the server URL, and set an Authorization header to Bearer followed by your key.
Connection details
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server URL | https://mcp.neokivo.com (or /api/mcp on any NeoKivo host) |
| Transport | MCP over Streamable HTTP |
| Auth header | Authorization: Bearer nk_live_... |
Once connected, ask your assistant something like "what needs a follow-up today?" or "log a call with Northwind and set the next step for Tuesday", and it will use NeoKivo's tools to answer and act.
