No official MCP server, OpenAPI spec or llms.txt.\n\n**HubSpot API + MCP.** Remote MCP server GA since 13 April 2026, OAuth 2.1 with PKCE only. Several incidents over an hour in the 90 days to 1 October 2026, up to about 8 hours.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Copper API\n\n1. Send `X-PW-AccessToken`, `X-PW-Application: developer_api` and `X-PW-UserEmail` on every call, or it fails\n2. Set `page_size` to 200 and stop when a page comes back short, since `X-PW-TOTAL` is only an upper bound\n3. Back off on 429 on your own clock, since no Retry-After is documented\n4. Narrow searches that would pass 100,000 records, which is where results stop\n5. Read connect fields before you update a record, because an update that omits them can delete connections\n\n### HubSpot API + MCP\n\n1. Call `discover_hubspot_schema` before writing, so property names match the portal\n2. Use `search_crm_objects` with filter groups and a `properties` list instead of listing everything\n3. Expect `manage_crm_objects` to stop for user confirmation, so plan the turn around it\n4. Read `policyName` on a 429 to tell a 10-second burst from the daily cap\n5. Ask for Sensitive Data to stay off only if the job needs calls, emails or notes, since it blocks them\n\n## Other comparisons with Copper API or HubSpot API + MCP\n\n- [Attio API + MCP vs Copper API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/attio-vs-copper.md)\n- [Attio API + MCP vs HubSpot API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/attio-vs-hubspot-mcp.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Copper API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-copper.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs HubSpot API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-hubspot-mcp.md)\n- [Copper API vs folk API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-folk.md)\n- [Copper API vs Freshsales API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-freshsales.md)\n- [Copper API vs Pipedrive API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-pipedrive.md)\n- [Copper API vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [Copper API vs Streak API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-streak.md)\n- [Copper API vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-twenty.md)\n- [folk API + MCP vs HubSpot API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-vs-hubspot-mcp.md)\n- [Freshsales API vs HubSpot API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/freshsales-vs-hubspot-mcp.md)\n- [HubSpot API + MCP vs Pipedrive API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hubspot-mcp-vs-pipedrive.md)\n- [HubSpot API + MCP vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hubspot-mcp-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [HubSpot API + MCP vs Streak API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hubspot-mcp-vs-streak.md)\n- [HubSpot API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hubspot-mcp-vs-twenty.md)\n",
