Short answer
Connecting Claude to Salesforce and HubSpot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets users ask questions about clients and pipeline, draft updates and run reports in plain English, with each user's own CRM permissions applied.
How the Claude (via MCP) integration works
Claude supports MCP connectors to business systems, including Salesforce and HubSpot. Users can search records, summarize accounts, prepare for meetings and, where permitted, create or update records. Admins control which connectors are enabled and whether write actions are allowed.
