Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` to `https://api.capsulecrm.com/api/v2`. Projects use the old name in paths, `/kases`\n2. Follow the `Link` header for the next page. `perPage` goes up to 100 and the default is 50\n3. On 429, wait until the epoch time in `X-RateLimit-Reset`. The docs suggest one second between calls\n4. Ask for the `read` scope when the task only reads. A write with a read-only token answers 403 with `insufficient_scope`\n5. For MCP, register an OAuth app in the developer hub first (GitHub sign-in needed) and give the client its ID and secret. Personal API tokens are refused\n\n### Pipedrive API + MCP\n\n1. Use v2 endpoints, which cost fewer tokens than v1\n2. Read `x-daily-requests-left` before a bulk run, since a search costs 40 tokens\n3. Send the token in the `x-api-token` header, never as `api_token` in the URL\n4. Keep under 10 search requests per 2 seconds on every plan\n5. Ask the user to load all Pipedrive tools in the client if an expected tool is missing\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Capsule CRM or Pipedrive API + MCP?\n\nPipedrive API + MCP scores 60.5 (C) on agent readiness against Capsule CRM's 55.7 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
