## π Overview
**`zoho-crm-mcp`** is an enterprise-grade **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server and **Antigravity Skill** designed specifically for **Zoho CRM**. Inspired by the architecture of [`googleads/google-ads-mcp`](https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-mcp), it bridges AI models (Google Antigravity, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) with Zoho CRM's API v6.
> π€ **Presented at the Zoho User & Developer Conference!**
> This open-source repository was built to give developers and sales engineering teams a turnkey solution for AI-driven CRM automation. Check out our [Event Handout & Quick Sheet](docs/TALK_HANDOUT.md).

## π Quick Start (5 Minutes)
### 1. Installation
**macOS / Linux**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/henriquecaner/zoho-crm-mcp.git
cd zoho-crm-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install .
```
**Windows (PowerShell)**
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/henriquecaner/zoho-crm-mcp.git
cd zoho-crm-mcp
py -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install .
```
> **Contributors:** `pip install -e .` works normally on Windows and Linux.
> On **macOS with Python 3.14** only, Hatchling marks its editable `.pth` file as hidden and
> Python 3.14 skips hidden `.pth` files, so the package will not import. There, use the plain
> `pip install .` shown above, or clear the flag with
> `chflags nohidden .venv/lib/python3.*/site-packages/_editable_impl_*.pth`.
### 2. Configure Zoho API Credentials
1. Open the [Zoho API Console](https://api-console.zoho.com/).
2. Click **Add Client** β **Server-based Applications**.
3. Set Authorized Redirect URI: `http://localhost:8989/callback`
4. Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
### 3. One-Command Interactive Setup Wizard
```bash
zoho-mcp setup
```
The automatic wizard will:
1. Prompt for your **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and Data Center region.
2. Launch the OAuth browser flow to generate your **Refresh Token**.
3. Auto-detect your AI tools (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Antigravity CLI/IDE, Cursor) and register `zoho-crm` in each.
4. Copy the Antigravity Skill (`skills/zoho-crm`) into your local skills directory.
### 4. Verify Connection
```bash
zoho-mcp status
zoho-mcp doctor
```

## π€ Antigravity & IDE Integration
`zoho-mcp setup` writes these configs automatically. See
[Setup per AI host](docs/SETUP_PER_HOST.md) for every supported host and its
exact config path on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
On **Windows**, JSON treats `\` as an escape character, so either double every backslash or use
forward slashes:
```json
"command": "C:\\Users\\you\\zoho-crm-mcp\\.venv\\Scripts\\zoho-mcp.exe"
"command": "C:/Users/you/zoho-crm-mcp/.venv/Scripts/zoho-mcp.exe"
```
