- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Close to Claude Code

### Connecting Close to Claude Code using Composio
1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working.
Key features include:
- Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts
- MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities
- Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files
- Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding
- Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows

## What is the Close MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Close MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Close account. It provides structured and secure access to your sales pipeline, so your agent can perform actions like creating leads, logging calls, sending SMS, managing tasks, and retrieving notes on your behalf.
- Lead creation and management: Instantly create new leads with company details and contact information, keeping your CRM fresh and organized without manual entry.
- Automated call logging: Have your agent log both inbound and outbound calls to specific leads, capturing call notes, durations, and recordings for seamless tracking.
- SMS communication: Direct your agent to send or log SMS messages with leads, enabling timely follow-ups and improved client engagement.
- Task management: Let your agent create tasks, set due dates, and track completion, making sure nothing slips through the cracks in your sales workflow.
- Note retrieval and analysis: Fetch notes by lead or date, so your agent can summarize past interactions, surface important insights, or prepare for upcoming calls.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CLOSE_CREATE_CALL` | Create Call | Creates a new call record in Close.com. This tool allows you to log both inbound and outbound calls associated with a lead, supporting parameters such as lead_id, direction, and optional support for contact_id, phone, duration, note, recording_url, and user_id. |
| `CLOSE_CREATE_LEAD` | Create Lead | Creates a new lead in Close CRM. A lead represents a company or organization in your sales pipeline. This tool allows you to create leads with company information (name, description, website), associate contacts with emails/phones/URLs, add addresses, and set the lead status. Contacts and addresses can be nested in the lead creation request. The tool returns comprehensive lead information including the lead ID, direct URL to view in Close CRM, associated contacts with their IDs, addresses, status information, and creation/update timestamps. Note: Activities, tasks, and opportunities must be created separately after lead creation. |
| `CLOSE_CLOSE_CREATE_SMS` | Create SMS Message | This tool creates a new SMS activity in Close CRM. It is primarily used to log SMS communications, including sent messages, received messages, and draft messages. The tool requires an internal phone number (local_phone) which must be an SMS-enabled phone number owned by your Close organization. Note: Actually sending SMS messages (status 'outbox' or 'scheduled') requires A2P 10DLC compliance. |
| `CLOSE_CREATE_TASK` | Create Task | This tool creates a new task in Close.com. Tasks are used to track to-do items and can be associated with leads. The tool will create a task with the specified parameters using the provided text, due_date, and is_complete flags. |
| `CLOSE_DELETE_CALL` | Delete Call | This tool allows you to delete a specific call activity in Close.com. It is useful for removing incorrectly logged calls or cleaning up call records. The action deletes a call activity using its unique call ID and cannot be undone. |
| `CLOSE_GET_NOTE` | Get Notes | This tool retrieves a list of note activities from Close. It allows users to fetch notes with optional filtering parameters, including filtering by lead_id, user_id, and date ranges. The tool returns details such as note content, creation and update dates, and any associated attachments. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Close MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Close account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Close operations on your behalf.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account
- Composio API Key
- A Close account
- Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript

### 1. Install Claude Code

To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:
```bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
```

### 2. Set up Claude Code

Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:
- Claude Code will open in your terminal
- Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account
- Complete the authentication flow
- Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code
```bash
cd your-project-folder
claude
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code))
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
```

### 4. Install Composio library

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-core python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core dotenv
```

### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["close"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http close-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['close'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http close-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
python generate_mcp_url.py
```

```typescript
node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts
# or if using tsx
tsx generate_mcp_url.ts
```

### 7. Add Close MCP to Claude Code

In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:
- claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code
- --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server
- The server name (close-composio) is how you'll reference it
- The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session
- --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication
After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http close-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"

# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claude
```

### 8. Verify the installation

Check that your Close MCP server is properly configured.
- This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code
- You should see your close-composio entry in the list
- This confirms that Claude Code can now access Close tools
If everything is wired up, you should see your close-composio entry listed:
```bash
claude mcp list
```

### 9. Authenticate Close

The first time you try to use Close tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.
- Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Close
- It will show you an authentication link
- Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it)
- Complete the Close authorization flow
- Return to the terminal and start using Close through Claude Code
Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Close operations in natural language. For example:
- "Create a new sales lead for Acme Corp"
- "Log an outbound call with follow-up notes"
- "Send an SMS to a lead about a meeting"

## Complete Code

```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["close"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http close-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['close'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http close-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Close MCP?

With a standalone Close MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Close tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Close and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code?

Yes, you can. Claude Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Close tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Close while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Close scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Close data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
