MCP for Claude and Other Assistants

What it does

The YouEx.ai MCP connector lets supported AI assistants use your YouEx.ai CRM as a connected tool. After you connect it, an assistant such as Claude can look up CRM records, summarize pipeline data, read stored research reports, refresh research, and create follow-up actions on your behalf.

MCP access uses your own YouEx.ai sign-in and workspace permissions. The assistant can only operate inside the workspace selected for your account.

Server URL

Use this connector URL:

https://engage.youex.ai/mcp

Before you connect

Make sure:

  • your YouEx.ai account has MCP access enabled
  • you can sign in to YouEx.ai
  • you are a member of the workspace you want Claude to use
  • if you belong to more than one workspace, you have selected an MCP workspace in Profile Settings

To choose the workspace, open YouEx.ai, go to Profile Settings, and set MCP Workspace.

Connect from Claude

Claude supports custom remote MCP connectors from Claude and Claude Desktop. Anthropic's current setup flow is managed through Settings > Connectors.

  1. Open Claude.
  2. Go to Settings > Connectors.
  3. Choose Add connector.
  4. Enter a name such as YouEx.ai.
  5. Enter the connector URL:

  6. Save the connector.
  7. Click Connect and complete the YouEx.ai/Auth0 sign-in flow.
  8. Start a new chat and ask Claude to use YouEx.ai.

For Team or Enterprise Claude plans, an organization owner may need to add the custom connector in organization settings before individual users can connect it.

Research

ToolWhat it does
get_crm_research_reportRetrieves the full stored research report and sources for a lead, contact, or company.
refresh_crm_research_reportStarts a fresh research run for a lead, contact, or company.

Research reports are intentionally not included in bulk list/search results, because they can be large. Ask Claude to retrieve a specific record's research report after it finds the right ID.

Follow-up actions

ToolWhat it does
list_crm_actionsLists actions logged or scheduled for a specific lead, contact, company, or opportunity.
create_crm_actionLogs a completed action or schedules a future action, with or without a reminder.

Scheduled actions can have a reminder time. If a reminder is provided, YouEx.ai queues the reminder.

Summary

ToolWhat it does
get_crm_summaryReturns high-level CRM counts and pipeline totals.

Sample prompts

Try prompts like these after connecting Claude:

Use YouEx.ai to show me a summary of my CRM.
Find leads at Acme and show me the most recent ones.
List my hot leads, then create a follow-up action for the top one.
Find the lead for ada@example.com and show me the full research report.
Refresh the research report for this contact.
Schedule a call follow-up for this opportunity next Friday at 2 PM, with a reminder the morning before.
Show me actions already logged for this company.
Create a logged email action for this lead saying that I sent the pricing follow-up today.

Pagination

Large lists are paginated. When Claude receives a response with hasMore: true, it can call the same list tool again using nextCursor.

Example:

List all leads in YouEx.ai. Continue through every page until there are no more results, then summarize the status breakdown.

Working with research reports

For best results:

  1. Ask Claude to find the right lead, contact, or company.
  2. Ask Claude to retrieve the full research report for that exact record.
  3. Ask Claude to summarize, compare, or turn the research into next-step recommendations.

Example:

Find the company YouEx.ai, retrieve its research report, and suggest three next actions for the account owner.

Working with CRM actions

Actions can be either:

  • logged: something that already happened
  • scheduled: something planned for the future

Action types are:

  • meeting
  • text
  • email
  • call
  • other

Examples:

Log a call action for this lead: "Left voicemail and sent follow-up email."
Schedule an email action for this contact for May 12 at 10 AM. No reminder.
Schedule a meeting follow-up for this opportunity on May 15 at 2 PM and remind me on May 14 at 9 AM.

Safety notes

  • MCP actions use your YouEx.ai user identity.
  • Delete and update tools can change CRM data, so review Claude's intended action before asking it to proceed.
  • If you are unsure what Claude is about to change, ask it to explain the exact tool call it plans to make first.
  • For bulk deletes, use exact email addresses and ask Claude to show the matching records before deletion.

Troubleshooting

Claude cannot connect

Check that:

  • the connector URL is exactly https://engage.youex.ai/mcp
  • you completed the sign-in flow
  • MCP access is enabled for your account or plan
  • your organization allows custom connectors

Claude says workspace selection is required

You belong to more than one YouEx.ai workspace. Open YouEx.ai, go to Profile Settings, choose MCP Workspace, and try again.

Claude only shows the first page of records

Ask Claude to continue using nextCursor until hasMore is false.

Claude cannot find a research report

Research reports currently exist for leads, contacts, and companies. Opportunities do not currently have a dedicated research report field.

Claude times out while listing data

Ask for a smaller page size or a narrower filter, such as status, owner scope, or search term. For full research text, use get_crm_research_report on one record at a time instead of asking for all research reports in one request.
