No status page found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Close API + MCP\n\n1. Connect with `Close-Scope: mcp.read` unless the job needs writes, and `mcp.write_safe` if it only creates\n2. Sleep for the `reset` value in the `RateLimit` header after a 429, which the docs say beats `retry-after`\n3. Use cursors through advanced filtering or the event log for large pulls, since `_skip` has a per-resource ceiling\n4. Search the lead before `create_lead`, because there's no idempotency key and a retry makes a duplicate\n5. Expect `create_draft_email` to leave a draft, and tell the user to send it from Close\n\n### Twenty API + MCP\n\n1. Call `learn_tools` with every tool name you need in one call before `execute_tool`\n2. Build CRUD names from the grammar (`find_many_companies`, `upsert_many_people`) instead of browsing the catalogue\n3. Pass one category to `get_tool_catalog`, since an unfiltered call returns hundreds of operations\n4. Load the matching skill before any workflow or metadata tool, as the server instructions require\n5. Batch up to 60 records a call to stay inside 100 requests a minute\n\n## Other comparisons with Close API + MCP or Twenty API + MCP\n\n- [Attio API + MCP vs Close API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/attio-vs-close.md)\n- [Attio API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/attio-vs-twenty.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Copper API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-copper.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs folk API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-folk.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Freshsales API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-freshsales.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs HubSpot API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-hubspot-mcp.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Pipedrive API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-pipedrive.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Streak API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-streak.md)\n- [Copper API vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-twenty.md)\n- [folk API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-vs-twenty.md)\n- [Freshsales API vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/freshsales-vs-twenty.md)\n- [HubSpot API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hubspot-mcp-vs-twenty.md)\n- [Pipedrive API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pipedrive-vs-twenty.md)\n- [Salesforce API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/salesforce-vs-twenty.md)\n- [Streak API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/streak-vs-twenty.md)\n",
