How we picked
We looked for an official MCP server on each vendor's product pages, help centre and developer docs on 11 November 2026. A server counts if the vendor runs or publishes it. Community-built servers do not count. We recorded the plans that include it and the AI clients the vendor names.
We connected none of these servers to a live workspace for this page. Tool counts and write permissions change monthly, so check the vendor's doc before you rely on a specific action.
The picks
- Attio: MCP on every plan, including Free. The free plan covers 3 users, 3 objects and 50,000 records. Ultra adds SQL access through MCP. Paid plans start at $40 a month for a workspace with one user.
- HubSpot: remote server for all accounts. Generally available since 13 April 2026. HubSpot lists connectors for ChatGPT and Claude. The free CRM covers 2 users.
- Pipedrive: every plan, with a token limit. The server launched on 30 June 2026 and the Claude connector on 18 August. Each plan has a token allowance, and Pipedrive sells extra tokens. Lite costs $14 a seat on annual billing.

Where the bill grows
Tokens and actions. Pipedrive limits MCP tokens per plan. Freshdesk, on the helpdesk side, charges $15 per 1,000 MCP actions. Ask the vendor what happens when the allowance runs out.
AI credits. An assistant that triggers enrichment or an AI attribute through MCP spends the CRM's credits. Attio sells 5,000 extra workspace credits for $70 a month on annual billing. HubSpot charges $0.01 a credit.
Plan gates. Salesforce hosts MCP for Enterprise Edition and above. Affinity requires Scale at $2,300 a user a year. Capsule requires Growth at $36 a user.
The assistant's own plan. Claude connectors and ChatGPT custom connectors depend on the plan you hold with Anthropic or OpenAI. Streak notes that ChatGPT needs a Team or Enterprise plan for custom connectors.
How to choose
- You want to try MCP without paying → Attio Free or HubSpot's free CRM.
- One person, lowest paid price → Close Solo at $9 a month.
- A sales team that already runs a pipeline tool → Pipedrive or Nutshell.
- You need SQL over CRM data from the assistant → Attio Ultra, at $1,000 a month for 5 users.
- You self-host → Twenty.
Before you buy
Connect the server during the trial and run the three requests your team makes most often. Check two things in the CRM afterwards: which user the changes were logged under, and whether the assistant could reach records that user should not see. Then read the token or credit meter and multiply by a month of use.
