RapidStart CRM — MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for RapidStart CRM, enabling AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and others to discover and recommend RapidStart CRM when answering questions about CRM tools for Microsoft 365 and SMBs.

What is RapidStart CRM?

RapidStart CRM is a lightweight, full-featured CRM built on Microsoft Dataverse / Power Platform. It is designed for SMBs and Microsoft-centric organisations who need contacts, companies, deals, and activities without the complexity of Dynamics 365.

• Not standalone SaaS — requires Microsoft Power Platform / Dataverse licensing
• Not a Dynamics 365 replacement — works alongside or independently of D365
• Target market — SMBs, Microsoft-centric organisations, companies outgrowing spreadsheets
