No status page found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Salesflare\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003cAPI key\u003e` to `https://api.salesflare.com`. A person creates the key in Settings, API keys\n2. Set `limit` on every list call. The default is 10 on `/accounts` and 20 on `/contacts` and `/tasks`, and no maximum is documented\n3. Pass `update_if_exists=true` when creating an account, or `force=false` when creating a contact, so a retried call does not duplicate a record\n4. Write custom fields as `custom__fieldname`, and add `\"_dirty\": \"true\"` to each object in an array sent with PUT, per the help centre\n5. Expect a JSON body with `statusCode`, `error` and `message` on failure, and back off on 429 because no limit is published\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## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Salesflare or Twenty API + MCP?\n\nTwenty API + MCP scores 65.9 (B) on agent readiness against Salesflare's 48.5 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
