How to Set Up and Use HubSpot
MCP HubSpot is a Python-based MCP server that connects AI assistants to HubSpot CRM data, exposing tools for creating contacts and companies, retrieving active deals and conversations, and performing semantic search across CRM records using a local FAISS vector index. The built-in vector storage layer caches retrieved data locally, which overcomes HubSpot API rate limits and dramatically speeds up repeated queries. Marketing and sales teams using Claude can manage their CRM pipeline through natural language without switching to the HubSpot UI.
Prerequisites
- A HubSpot account with a Private App access token
- The HubSpot Private App must have scopes: crm.objects.contacts (read/write), crm.objects.companies (read/write), and sales-email-read
- Docker installed (recommended) or Python 3.10+ for local execution
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Obtain a HubSpot Private App access token
In HubSpot, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Private Apps, create a new private app, and grant the required scopes: crm.objects.contacts (read/write), crm.objects.companies (read/write), and sales-email-read. Copy the generated access token.
Run the server with Docker
Pull and run the pre-built Docker image, passing your HubSpot access token as an environment variable. Mount a local path for persistent vector storage to avoid re-fetching data after restarts.
docker run -e HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token \
-v /path/to/local/storage:/storage \
buryhuang/mcp-hubspot:latestAlternatively, install via Smithery
Smithery automates the installation and Claude Desktop configuration in a single command.
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install mcp-hubspot --client claudeConfigure Claude Desktop manually
If not using Smithery, add the server to claude_desktop_config.json so Claude Desktop can start the Docker container as the MCP process.
Test the connection
Open Claude Desktop and ask it to list your most recently active HubSpot contacts to verify the server is running and the access token is valid.
HubSpot Examples
Client configuration
Add this to claude_desktop_config.json to run the HubSpot MCP server via Docker. Replace 'your_token' with your actual HubSpot Private App access token.

These prompts exercise the CRM tools exposed by the HubSpot MCP server.
- "Show me the most recently active contacts in my HubSpot CRM."
- "Create a new HubSpot contact named Jane Smith at Acme Corp with email [email protected]."
- "What recent conversations have we had with Acme Corp?"
- "Search my HubSpot data for any records related to enterprise pricing discussions."
- "Create a HubSpot company for Globex Corporation in the manufacturing industry."Troubleshooting HubSpot
API calls fail with 403 Forbidden errors
Check that your HubSpot Private App has all three required scopes: crm.objects.contacts (read and write), crm.objects.companies (read and write), and sales-email-read. Regenerate the token after adding missing scopes.
Semantic search returns stale or empty results
The FAISS vector index is built from data retrieved in previous sessions. If CRM data has changed significantly, delete the /storage volume mount directory contents and restart the container to force a fresh retrieval.
Docker container exits immediately with no output
Ensure you pass the -i flag to docker run (required for stdio MCP transport) and that HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN is set. Run 'docker run -e HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token buryhuang/mcp-hubspot:latest' manually to see error output.
