🚀 Usage

With Claude Desktop

1. Configure Claude Desktop by adding to your MCP settings:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "hubspot": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["dist/index.js"],
         "cwd": "/path/to/hubspot-mcp-server",
         "env": {
           "HUBSPOT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

2. Restart Claude Desktop

3. Start using HubSpot tools in Claude:

   • "Show me my recent contacts"
   • "Create a new contact for John Doe with email john@example.com"
   • "Search for companies in the technology industry"

Direct Usage

You can also run the server directly:

npm start

Or for development with auto-reload:

npm run dev

🧪 Testing

Run the test suite:

npm test

Run tests in watch mode:

npm run test:watch

Run a manual test of the server:

npm run dev
# In another terminal:
node tests/test-server.js

Adding New Tools

1. Create a new tool class extending BaseTool
2. Implement getTools() and executeTool() methods
3. Register the tool in src/index.ts
4. Add tests for the new tool

Code Style

This project uses TypeScript with strict mode enabled. Make sure to:

• Use proper type annotations
• Follow existing naming conventions
• Add JSDoc comments for public methods
• Write tests for new functionality

🔒 Security Considerations

• API Keys: Never commit API keys to version control
• Environment Variables: Use .env files for local development
• Production: Use proper secret management in production
• Rate Limiting: Be aware of HubSpot API rate limits
• Permissions: Only request necessary HubSpot scopes

• HubSpot API Documentation
• Model Context Protocol Specification
• Claude Desktop MCP Setup
• HubSpot API Node.js Client

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"API key not found" error:

• Ensure your .env file is properly configured
• Check that the API key is valid and has necessary permissions

"Module not found" errors:

• Run npm install to ensure all dependencies are installed
• Run npm run build to compile TypeScript

Rate limiting errors:

• HubSpot has API rate limits. Implement proper retry logic for production use
• Consider using exponential backoff for failed requests

Connection timeouts:

• Check your internet connection
• Verify HubSpot service status

For more help, please open an issue.

🚀 Deployment

Production Considerations

1. Environment Variables: Use a proper secrets management system
2. Logging: Configure appropriate log levels
3. Monitoring: Set up health checks and monitoring
4. Scaling: Consider rate limiting and caching for high-volume usage

Docker Support (Coming Soon)

Docker support will be added in a future release for easier deployment.
