YouSpot MCP

youspot

The official CLI and SDK for YouSpot, the AI-native personal CRM.

Node 18 or newer. No dependencies.

bunx youspot ask "what does it cost"
bunx youspot docs oauth pkce
bunx youspot read /docs/mcp
bunx youspot tools

Sign up or sign in once, then chat with your account from the terminal:

bunx youspot signup
bunx youspot chat "who do I know at Acme?"

The account commands and youspot call need a session. Everything else reads pages that are already public.

Commands

Command	What it does	Credential
youspot signup	Creates an account: email, password, the emailed code. Saves the session.	none
youspot login	Signs in through the browser with a one-time code. Saves the session.	none
youspot whoami	The account this terminal is signed in as, checked with the server.	session
youspot logout	Ends the session on the server, then deletes it here.	session
youspot chat [message]	Chats with your account. One message, a prompt (you> ), or one turn per line of stdin.	session
youspot ask <question>	Asks about YouSpot. Answers are passages from its own pages, each with the URL it came from.	none
youspot docs <query>	Searches the developer docs over the documentation MCP server.	none
youspot read <path>	One page as markdown, for example /docs/mcp or /pricing.	none
youspot pages	Every page that can be read.	none
youspot tools	Lists the MCP tools on the product server.	none
youspot call <tool> [json]	Calls one MCP tool.	YOUSPOT_TOKEN, else session
youspot member <username>	One public member profile.	none
youspot directory	A page of the public member directory.	none
youspot index	Every endpoint, and what each one costs in credentials.	none

--json prints the raw response. --limit n applies to ask, docs and directory. Results go to stdout and messages to stderr. The exit code is 0 on success, 1 on a failure and 2 on a usage error (130 when Ctrl-C stops a sign-in).

Signing in

youspot login prints a link and a code such as ABCD-EFGH, opens the link in your browser (--no-browser, or no terminal, only prints it), and waits. Approve the request on the page once the code matches, and the terminal prints Signed in as <email>.

youspot signup asks for an email, a password (twice, never shown) and your acceptance of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then for the code we email you. Type resend at the code prompt for a new one. Every answer can come from a flag instead, so it also runs with no terminal at all:

youspot signup --email [email protected] --password "$PASSWORD" --code 123456 --accept-terms

YOUSPOT_PASSWORD works in place of --password, which keeps the password out of your shell history.

Chatting

youspot chat "what needs my attention today?"
youspot chat                       # a prompt; /new starts over, /exit or Ctrl-D leaves
printf 'first\nsecond\n' | youspot chat   # one turn per line
youspot chat --new "start over"
youspot chat --verbose "find Dana"  # also lists the tools each turn called
youspot chat "@research what changed at Acme this week?"  # hands it to that agent
youspot chat --wait "@research what changed at Acme this week?"  # and waits for the reply

The conversation continues across runs until --new. Credits left print on stderr after each turn.

Credentials

Every YouSpot tool reads or writes one person's own contacts, companies, notes and files, so a credential always belongs to a person.

youspot login and youspot signup save a revocable session in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/youspot/credentials.json (mode 0600, in a 0700 directory), keyed by server so a local and a production session live side by side. The conversation history sits next to it in conversations.json. youspot logout revokes the session and deletes both.

For youspot call you can also mint a named token at youspot.com/user/integrations/mcp and set YOUSPOT_TOKEN, which wins over a saved session, or follow the OAuth 2.1 flow in auth.md.

YOUSPOT_BASE_URL picks the server, for example http://localhost:3001 against a local stack. The sign-in link is built from it too.

Testing and evals

Headless runs work end to end with flags and environment variables. Against a development server, whose sign-in runs on a Clerk development instance, any address containing +clerk_test is a test address: Clerk sends no email and accepts the fixed code 424242.

export YOUSPOT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3001
youspot signup --email "[email protected]" --password "$EVAL_PASSWORD" --code 424242 --accept-terms
youspot chat --new --json "what can you do?"
youspot logout

Point XDG_CONFIG_HOME at a scratch directory to keep an eval's session apart from your own.

As a library

import { ask, tools, callTool, login, signup, chat } from "youspot";

const answer = await ask("how do I connect a client");
const available = await tools();
const summary = await callTool("get_connections_summary", {}, { token });

await signup({ email, password, acceptTerms: true, code: "424242" });
const { reply, conversation_id } = await chat("who do I know at Acme?");

login, signup and chat take baseUrl, fetch and dir (where sessions are saved); login also takes a clock and an onPending({ url, userCode }) callback, and signup takes code as a string or as a function that is asked for each attempt.

YOUSPOT_BASE_URL overrides the origin, for anyone running YouSpot elsewhere.

Install an agent skill

List the skills in the official public repository:

bunx skills add OnStartups/youspot-agent-tools --list

Install only the skill you need into your current project:

bunx skills add OnStartups/youspot-agent-tools --skill youspot-mcp

The CLI prompts for the target agent. These skills are authored by YouSpot, Inc. for youspot.com, and maintained together in this public repository:

Skill	Use it for	Source
youspot-mcp	OAuth setup, Brain and LinkedIn searches, attention review, interaction logging and follow-ups	SKILL.md
youspot-api	Public HTTP reads, batched reads, sandbox, MCP JSON-RPC and authentication errors	SKILL.md
youspot-solo-crm-playbook	Daily relationship reviews, meeting briefs and confirmed next steps	SKILL.md

Replace youspot-mcp in the install command with another name from this table. The default install is project-local; add --agent <agent-name> to choose an agent explicitly. Installing a skill adds instructions, not account access. Product tool calls still need the member's consent and credential and may consume credits.

The site also serves the skill index with content digests. The youspot-mcp listing on skills.sh is another discovery path; skills.sh classification is not a substitute for checking the publisher and source.

What is in this package

• bin/youspot.mjs, src/cli.mjs, src/index.mjs: the CLI and the SDK. test/ holds their tests (bun test).
• plugin.json and mcp.json: the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 manifest and the MCP server list it points at (both servers, streamable HTTP). The skills are discovered from skills/, as the spec reads them.
• AGENTS.md, .cursorrules: instructions for coding agents.
• skills/: the three agent skills, byte-identical to the ones served at youspot.com/.well-known/agent-skills/.

AGENTS.md, .cursorrules and skills/ are generated, not hand-written. Skill bodies and index descriptions come from frontend/lib/agent/skills.ts in the source monorepo. The site computes a sha256 of each served skill, so edit the source and regenerate with bun run sync:agent-tools from the monorepo root instead of editing generated files alone. CI runs check:agent-tools and fails if they drift. This check runs outside the frontend build because .vercelignore excludes *.md from Vercel's build context.

Publishing and skills.sh discovery

The source of truth is packages/youspot-agent-tools in the private monorepo. Its public mirror is OnStartups/youspot-agent-tools. All three skills belong in that one repository. No additional repository or npm release is needed for the Skills CLI to install them from GitHub.

Publication is manual and separate from local edits:

1. Merge the reviewed source changes to the monorepo's main branch. Regenerate from that published source with bun run sync:agent-tools, then copy only this package's public contents to the existing mirror. Do not copy private monorepo files or internal plugins.
2. Review the mirror diff and publish it with the maintainer's approval. Deploy the matching site source so its served skills and digests agree with the mirror.
3. After the mirror is current, list its skills with bunx skills add OnStartups/youspot-agent-tools --list, then install the desired skill with bunx skills add OnStartups/youspot-agent-tools --skill youspot-mcp.
4. Check the corresponding skills.sh listing after real installations. The skills.sh FAQ says listings appear automatically through anonymous installation telemetry, with no manual registry submission. Listing with --list is not an installation; telemetry-disabled installs do not contribute to indexing. Do not generate artificial installs to influence counts. The directory does not document a guaranteed indexing time or an automatic official-publisher badge.

Publishing the youspot CLI/SDK to npm is a separate maintainer-controlled release, with package versioning and registry credentials. It is not a prerequisite for GitHub skill installation or skills.sh discovery.
