folk MCP lets you connect your favorite AI tools — like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more — directly to your folk workspace. Once connected, your AI assistant can read and write to folk just like you can: searching contacts, updating records, moving deals through your pipeline, all from a simple prompt.
MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to the tools and data they need. folk MCP is our hosted server: you connect it once through a secure OAuth flow, and your AI tool gets the same access to your workspace that your account already has.

What you can do
Once folk is connected, you can simply ask your AI assistant to work with your workspace. A few examples:
👉 “What do we know about Acme Corp? Give me a quick summary.”
👉 “Add Jane Doe from Acme as a new contact in my Sales group.”
👉 “Move the Acme deal to the Negotiation stage.”
👉 “I’m meeting Antoine from Coca-Cola tomorrow — remind me what’s happened recently.”
Behind the scenes, your tool uses folk MCP to:
Find the right contacts → search across your people, companies and groups
Keep your CRM up to date → create and update contacts, notes and custom fields from natural language
Manage your pipeline → move deals through your pipelines and keep statuses in sync
Build reports → generate relationship summaries and pipeline updates from your data
Before you start
The folk MCP endpoint is:
https://mcp.folk.app/mcpConnecting uses OAuth — the first time your tool uses folk, you’ll be prompted to sign in and authorize access to your workspace.
Your AI tool gets the same access as your folk account, based on your role and permissions.
⚠️ Always make sure you’re connecting to the official endpoint above — see Security best practices at the end of this article.
