Details
From the project READMEBeacon CRM MCP by usefulapi
Use Beacon CRM from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — record types and users, list, get and filter records of any type (people, organisations, payments, and your custom types), create, update, upsert and delete records, and trigger and list exports. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Beacon CRM credentials.
Live endpoint: https://beacon-crm.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/beacon-crm
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://beacon-crm.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http beacon-crm https://beacon-crm.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"beacon-crm": {
"url": "https://beacon-crm.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Beacon CRM credentials.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
