Verdicts

Freshsales API

Contact upsert and bulk upsert of up to 100 records make creates safe to retry. No MCP server for Freshsales.

Streak API + MCP

MCP server is OAuth only and revocable from account settings. MCP tool list and count not published.

Before you call either

Freshsales API

  1. Build the base URL from the bundle alias shown under the API key, https://<alias>.myfreshworks.com/crm/sales/api/
  2. Use /api/contacts/upsert rather than create, so a retry updates instead of duplicating
  3. Budget calls, since 1,000 an hour covers the whole account and 429s carry no Retry-After
  4. Add include=owner,sales_accounts to pull related records in one call
  5. Expect to see only what the key owner's role can see

Streak API + MCP

  1. Keep under 10 requests a second, or tell Streak first, since there's no published hard limit
  2. Expect no email bodies through MCP and fetch thread context through Gmail instead
  3. Send the API key as the Basic auth username with an empty password
  4. Check the plan before relying on webhooks, which start at Pro+
  5. Handle a 410 as an API version that's no longer supported
