## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **zoho_list_records** — List records from a Zoho CRM module (e.g., Leads, Contacts, Deals).
- **zoho_get_record** — Get a single record by ID from a Zoho CRM module.
- **zoho_search_records** — Search records in a Zoho CRM module using criteria.
- **zoho_create_record** — Create a new record in a Zoho CRM module.
- **zoho_list_modules** — List all available modules in Zoho CRM.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "zoho-crm": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@pipeworx/mcp-zoho_crm"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation

## What Zoho_crm MCP server does

The Zoho_crm MCP server connects MCP-compatible clients to Zoho CRM API v6. Its pack-specific tools cover common record operations across CRM modules such as Leads, Contacts, and Deals. Agents can discover available modules, inspect records, find records matching criteria, and create new records.

The hosted option is part of the Pipeworx gateway. A pack endpoint lists the Zoho CRM tools along with shared Pipeworx meta-tools. Those shared tools can route broader questions through the gateway, while the local package exposes only the Zoho CRM pack tools.

## How it works

For hosted use, configure an MCP client with the remote endpoint at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/zoho_crm/mcp`. The connection uses a connected Zoho CRM account and requires a Pipeworx key for direct HTTP tool calls. The full Pipeworx endpoint is also available when an agent should access all supported data sources directly.

The local package communicates over standard input and output. Run it with `npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-zoho_crm`, or configure that command in an MCP client. This mode does not require a Pipeworx account or a gateway round trip, and its `initialize`, `tools/list`, and `tools/call` responses contain only the pack's tools.

## Setup and configuration

For the hosted Zoho_crm MCP server, first sign in to Pipeworx, connect the Zoho CRM account, and add the remote URL to the MCP client's server configuration. The README provides configurations for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf using the same URL.

For local setup, use an MCP configuration with `command` set to `npx` and arguments `-y` and `@pipeworx/mcp-zoho_crm`. No environment variables are documented as required for the standalone package. HTTP callers can use the Pipeworx REST interface with a bearer key, including `POST /v1/tools/zoho_list_records` for a direct tool request.

## Tools and capabilities

The Zoho_crm MCP server provides these pack tools:

- `zoho_list_modules`: returns the available Zoho CRM modules.
- `zoho_list_records`: lists records from a selected module.
- `zoho_get_record`: retrieves one record by its ID and module.
- `zoho_search_records`: searches a module using criteria.
- `zoho_create_record`: creates a record in a selected module.

The hosted endpoint also lists shared Pipeworx tools, including `ask_pipeworx`, `discover_tools`, `search_within`, and `remember`/`recall`. These are gateway capabilities rather than additional Zoho CRM pack operations.

## Limitations and notes

The available record operations depend on the Zoho CRM modules and account connected to the service. The material does not specify field schemas, criteria syntax, pagination behavior, update or delete operations, or OAuth configuration details, so those should be verified against the connected Zoho CRM account and tool schemas.

The hosted and local modes expose different tool lists: the gateway adds shared meta-tools, while the local process does not.
